So, let’s get this straight: all I did was fact-check Trump, Farage, and Musk—three men with very interesting relationships with the truth—and now my account is flagged for inauthentic behavior? Right. And it just happened to go down on International Women’s Day (March 8th)? Oh, the irony is too rich.
According to X.com, my account might be engaging in “spam” or manipulating the platform. But let’s be real—this isn’t about spam. This is about inconvenient facts. Because apparently, questioning the great men of our time (eye-roll) is more dangerous than actual misinformation.
What Happens Now?
- My reach is limited.
- My posts might be excluded from trends and replies.
- My content is harder to find.
So basically, the algorithm has shoved me into a digital timeout for daring to check receipts on three powerful men who shape public discourse. Meanwhile, actual bots and bad-faith actors? Thriving.
X.com: Where Misinformation Thrives, but Critical Thinking Gets Shadowbanned
Let’s talk about priorities. X.com, claims to care about “authenticity” and “transparency,” yet the platform is perfectly fine with allowing those who should know better to spread misinformation unchecked. Politicians, billionaires, and media personalities get a free pass to push their agendas, twist facts, and attack those who dare to think differently. But the second someone like me—who actually engages in critical analysis—challenges them? Shadowbanned.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just about me—it’s about who gets silenced and when. Social media platforms claim to fight misinformation. However, when fact-checking powerful figures gets flagged, it’s worth asking: Whose truth is being protected?
Maybe this was an algorithmic “mistake.” Or maybe it was a very convenient way to keep certain voices quieter. Either way, let’s not pretend this was random.
The Double Standard
If you push the right narratives, you get amplified. If you ask tough questions or fact-check the wrong people, you get flagged. Simple as that.
- Misinformation that aligns with a certain agenda? Boosted.
- Blind loyalty and echo chambers? Encouraged.
- Holding powerful people accountable? Suppressed.
And let’s not forget when this happened—International Women’s Day. The same day was meant for conversations about gender equality, systemic bias, and empowerment. Instead, my account got quietly silenced. Almost like… they don’t actually want independent thinkers disrupting the status quo.
What’s the Endgame?
X.com claims their system sometimes makes mistakes. Sure. But when those “mistakes” conveniently silence dissenting voices while letting misinformation spread like wildfire, it’s worth asking: Who benefits?
This isn’t just about me. It’s about how social media is shaping public perception. When truth becomes inconvenient, it gets buried. And when people start noticing? They get flagged.
So, what do we do? Keep talking. Keep questioning. Keep making them uncomfortable. Because that’s the one thing they can’t shadowban.
Ever been flagged, restricted, or mysteriously “deboosted” for speaking the truth? Let’s compare notes.
