In January, Twitter will begin showing users the reasons for blocking or shadowbanning, that is, limiting the visibility of tweets, said the new owner and head of the social network, Elon Musk.

Mr. Musk spoke about the new feature when he was asked about the reasons for blocking an account belonging to a Turkish cryptanalyst who has more than 160,000 subscribers - the account has now been restored. “I will find out. We really need to implement a feature to show why an account has been banned or visibility restricted (shadowban). In January, it will appear, ”said the head of Twitter.

This month, a series of high-profile blockings swept the social network. Bans were given to journalists from The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN and a number of other media outlets. The Twitter administration did not disclose the reasons for the restrictive measures, but all these journalists allegedly covered the incident with Jack Sweeney, who published data on the movements of Elon Musk's plane on the platform - the businessman considered this a gross violation of his right to privacy. It even went as far as turning off Twitter Spaces voice chats.
