Saying “Thanks” on Twitter can put your account in lock-down

Dangerous: Twitter Limits Users For Tweeting ‘Thanks’ at Shadowbanned Accounts.

Users on Twitter are noticing that their accounts are being limited by the service after they tweet expressions of gratitude to shadowbanned accounts.

Although Twitter refuses to acknowledge its practice of “shadowbanning,” or limiting user accounts from having a wider reach without informing them, some users have accidentally triggered Twitter’s automated algorithms that caused their accounts to be restricted.

Users across both Twitter and Reddit documented the instances where their accounts were locked for exhibiting “automated behavior that violates the Twitter Rules.”

Posting on Reddit’s r/technology community, ShokTherapy claims that tweeting your gratitude (i.e. “thanks” or “thank you”) at a shadowbanned user can cause your account to be locked or shadowbanned.   MORE

  1. Twitter sounds like it studied England for tips on controlling undesirable thought.
    A shame these people seem incapable of seeing themselves for what they’re turning into.

  2. It seems to be targeting the Left,too. lol. Even if they retweet someone they hate on the right, to talk shit about them, they get dinged for that. hilarious. Censorship doesn’t just censor one group. It’s like air. It gets on everybody.
