Twitter users are raising concerns about censorship and shadow-banning on the platform, particularly with the suspension of accounts linked to conservative commentator Nick Fuentes. Reports of decreased follower counts and reduced post visibility are fueling allegations of targeted censorship. In addition, there is controversy over the promotion of MrBeast's first video upload, which has garnered 100 million views and includes a Shopify pre-roll ad, but is allegedly not labeled as an ad. Users are also reporting an unusual increase in bot followers and are seeking Elon Musk's intervention. The unfolding situation points to broader discontent with the platform's moderation policies and its approach to advertising transparency and free speech.
Many interesting things have been happening at X lately. Now Sulaiman Ahmed, one of the biggest Pro-Palestinian accounts on X, is locked out of his account. This needs to be reversed immediately. @ShaykhSulaiman https://t.co/hM3YbLlSJq
The @MrBeast tweet isn’t an Ad - it has an ad on it… Right!? https://t.co/KJp9ElAKeH
Elon Musk recently said that he disagrees with the very idea of unions. Now one in Sweden is cheerfully preparing to fight his company, Tesla, for 538 years. 1843 magazine reports from the picket line https://t.co/y59O22RcT3
One of the biggest pro-Palestine accounts that appears on Mario spaces has been locked out with no reason given! #freeSulaimanAhmed !! https://t.co/wHA7zVW4J0
Sualiman is one of the largest accounts on X and is currently locked out dlof his account Is this a mistake or because of his anti-Israel beliefs? @ShaykhSulaiman https://t.co/z7Q1NxEjs1
TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED SULAIMAN AHMED’S ACCOUNT @ShaykhSulaiman has been locked out of his Twitter account. No reason has been given. This is totally unacceptable. He is one of the biggest Pro-Palestinian accounts on Twitter and now has no access to his Twitter. Please can you… https://t.co/CxmgkPBDoM
It seems more and more that @elonmusk is a Ziomarionette and a Globalist puppet. His @X is demonetizing large pro-Palestinian, pro-Russian and anti-MSM accounts, without any explanation and removing the monetization tabs. I single out a personal example and the example of the…
When you say something text-based on Twitter, people love to suggest you say something you never said. Every time. They get so upset by what you didn't even say & what they themselves said you said. It's the weirdest phenomenon ever.
Analytics down for numerous right-wing dissident accounts on X amid allegations of censorship. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/pSyxIK9iCN
Musk's platform is pushing MrBeast's first video upload in users' feeds as an unlabeled ad. https://t.co/iWaexYVkEL
I think we all know the answer to this. HINT: There is a reason Mr Beast does not upload his videos onto this platform despite the countless pleas from Elon. https://t.co/0EZrvX4Qde
Ofc Elon, the current king of disinformation, will artificially juice MrBeast’s numbers and then just lie about it. The sad thing is, nobody will be able to prove it one way or another because his so-called “max-transparency, free-speech” platform is actually anything but. https://t.co/kkt2lGYM4V
All of the ads have been removed off my profile and I have been demonetized. I recently complained about how I was being targeted to take away my pay and now I received nothing today. They succeeded and @elonmusk did absolutely nothing even when I complained and warned for…
bruh @X is doing everything it possibly can to promote Mr. Beast’s recent car video on my For You tab. I think this is the 6th or 7th time it’s appeared on my feed since the first time I saw it.
SPECULATION: We are hearing from users that X might be promoting @MrBeast video on the timeline. People are seeing the post without a time and in the menu seeing that the post is an ad. https://t.co/KGAs7zp86i
I post controversial stuff, and I have been the target of waves of special interest bots from time to time. My post today on Ukraine, however, has unleashed the worst bot attack I have seen against me. All of these accounts are free accounts, with very few followers and…
Hey @elonmusk, at least you could offer a discount to those whose accounts are so severely restricted that their follower count and reach keeps decreasing. How about eight bucks a month for the left-fascists, and four bucks a month for the shadowbanned dissidents?
X is stupid. They allow left wing racists to run rampant on this site and falsely mass report @elonmusk really does need to remove that function from those free loading creatures.
Twitter users suspect something fishy after seeing MrBeast's first full video on X appear over and over again on their feeds. https://t.co/bIIZRlX28z
Wow! What did I say to have my blue check removed? @elonmusk What happened to free speech? Incredible censorship.
Something's fishy on @X All major conservative accounts are being throttled- Someone should let @elonmusk know what's up @Support This is a Premium + account https://t.co/2VhNpifwGZ
Per X, the MrBeast video is technically not an undisclosed ad. There is a pre-roll ad for Shopify in the video, which is labeled as such. X boosts posts containing pre-roll ads, but because the post itself is not the ad, it doesn't have the label. https://t.co/yDQPgOyQTT https://t.co/w6TNr8vMC5
The “resistance” losers are mass reporting accounts bc they cannot argue based on facts. @elonmusk should shut down the reporting tool for losers who do not pay for the service. They abuse it.
"Musk has taken to suing people who say mean, true things about his companies. And now he’s trying to blow up the NLRB so he can take revenge on SpaceX employees who dared to criticize him. Turns out Mr. Free Speech wasn’t so absolute after all." https://t.co/8Eqhv6XeMZ
One @elonmusk and the X minions will be in pain from this post. All they do publicly is support American and western enemies, naming it “free speech” https://t.co/OYVLah4RSO
Well, it looks like Elon is artificially pumping MrBeast’s Twitter video debut into the feed. I’ve seen it in feed at least 4 times now. And see how there’s no timestamp, and no ad marker? That pretty much guarantees Twitter is doing something behind the scenes. https://t.co/3cbhMztHb7
I've received messages all week from readers reporting the same thing. MrBeast's video is clearly being promoted as an undisclosed ad across the platform to juice its numbers. https://t.co/MghMMpSQJV

Does Elon Musk Know Conservatives & Patriots are Being Censored & Shadow-Banned at X/Twitter? https://t.co/VV5fBkOBRb
Nick Fuentes is so hated by the State. Twitter is still clearly State operated. https://t.co/iWwMXFJWqF
X has suspended an account belonging to US white nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes with nearly 50,000 followers. Fuentes's main Twitter account was banned in July 2021. It was reinstated in January 2023, before being suspended again the next day. https://t.co/iKhDQAdMuO
If you think #Shadowban isn't a thing on #X, you're wrong. Look at my numbers before Ban! From the first of January to the tenth of January, I received 16.4 million impressions. With Shadowban, only 1.8 million in the same number of days @XCreators @elonmusk #Ads https://t.co/Ehwdvfgp3h
Ngl I would probably hate having Elon Musk’s reply guys. Most of his replies are some of the most braindead, irrelevant, and awful replies I’ve ever seen on this site. I hope he has his notifications turned off for the sake of his sanity. Severely disillusioning experience.
X is banning accounts for simply being linked to Nick Fuentes I talked to him on the phone once and debated a few issues with him over texts Does this mean we are linked? Will I be banned simply because I’ve talked to Nick? https://t.co/ct8S7asOsy
I really hope @elonmusk has an alt, because he occasionally responds to/likes my tweets and I get to see all the nonsensical self promoting spam replies he gets… the site must be unusable on his main, so how can he gauge the user experience?
Nick Fuentes discusses being banned from X for the hundredth time, only to be taunted by Keith Woods (@KeithWoodsYT) flexing his success on the platform. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/rFywOf7710
Weird Bot phenomenon of Elon Echolalia. If Musk replies to someone, they spam that same person with a copy of his comment. Presumably hoping to get engagement from the similar tweet feature.
This non sponsored video has been on my feed multiple times a day, every day since it was posted. I don't follow him. Elon is pushing it out to get maximum revenue for Mr Beast so he drops YouTube for X. It has 100 million views which is the max I get a month so he has to be… https://t.co/10FBoAe5rC
. @elonmusk you are not pro-free speech. Stop lying to everyone.
I’m sick of @elonmusk claiming this is a “free speech platform” when he keeps banning people like Nick Fuentes.
BREAKING: X has suspended the account @autumngroyper after it appears to be linked to Far-Right hatemonger Nick Fuentes. Before people melt down, please note that Fuentes was already banned and the X guidelines clearly state the following: "You can't circumvent an X… https://t.co/Q8L1GYcp8O
Nick Fuentes’s burner account has finally been banned on Twitter. https://t.co/oKtivsFnM5
Nick Fuentes’s burner account has been banned: https://t.co/mHfRrXtfOK
WHY HAS @autumngroyper BEEN BANNED? The sole reason is that @NickJFuentes is Anti-Zionists. We have extreme Islamophobes and people who support genocide on the platform. @elonmusk we need to bring him back and have a Free Speech Platform. #FreeNickFuentes https://t.co/2J9oqAOcMN
Nick Fuentes has been, once again, suspended from @ElonMusk’s X without cause. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/My4lBhxjqK
I was attacked by bots. My genuine followers are 9.5K, but since yesterday I've gained an additional 7K bot followers. Normally, I detest bots and clear them manually every day, but this time there are too many. I should write a program to remove them. Pls help me @elonmusk
The shadowbanning is especially heavy on @elonmusk’s free speech X these days. Every night I lose 100 or so followers, and I recently posted something that has all of 12 views, while my posts usually get at least 1,000 with the shadowbanning. Then I checked on it later and it had…

I think pro genocide bot army just figured out I was shadow banned and they were the only things boosting my tweets back to normal levels - so Musk silences us - and the pro genocide bots lift us back - Strange days - https://t.co/F5RVKxXTDZ
Is Elon specially promoting Mr Beast’s recent video? I’ve never seen a tweet like this in my feed before - no timestamp and no ad indicator. https://t.co/j1yaLVUt3c
By the way, @elonmusk, your Grok is not fun. https://t.co/Wzi4ur40VF
This musk guy is not good He has me shadow banned So many good calls but he’s not letting my message spread
weird how @elonmusk isn't pushing to monetize subscriptions more. if i were in his position, i would go full twitch mode, and let people use custom emojis tied to the accounts they're subbed to. elon if you use this idea please hire me or send me money. airkatakanaL
I’ve commented on this phenomenon before, but it’s really wild how people on Twitter will literally make shit up to slander you, apparently not feeling any hint of shame. https://t.co/vXLoLWGs3b
These rape apologists are beyond vile and should be investigated by the @FBI. Imagine saying a woman should be honored she’s raped. @elonmusk this account is a detriment to women and shouldn’t be on here. If this is free speech, we don’t need it. https://t.co/dmXF61lF2Y
