The Twitter team has discovered a "shadowbans" mechanism hidden deep in the source code.
"Shadowbans" are not banning users, but making it difficult for you to see the tweets of these users. Even if you follow the user, his tweets may not appear on your homepage.
According to reports , this mechanism will prevent accounts identified as 'Reputation score' from appearing in the trend list, even Musk's own account is no exception-it will prevent his tweets from becoming popular content.
Musk's reply to the tweet confirmed the news, bluntly calling it a "family scandal" and saying that no one at the company knew the existence of the code, which Twitter engineers didn't discover until last week.
But someone in Musk's comments countered that people at the company knew about it, but they didn't tell Musk because he fired them.
