Miguel de Icaza shadowbanned from X for posting about Gaza

I saw this earlier today, it was really weird. A pg post showed up in my timeline, so I opened his reply and it said the post to which pg was replying was unavailable [0]. Then I went back and copied the name of the person to which pg replied, and opened his page in order to see both posts [1].<p>Not really sure about the details, but the lack of transparency around issues of this nature is what bothers me the most. At some point Elon claimed he would be more transparent about accounts receiving limited reach and other such deboosting, but so far it appears to remain pretty opaque.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;mBiBU8W.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;mBiBU8W.png</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;2WQ7zFv.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;2WQ7zFv.png</a>

So much for “free speech”. Ever since Musk met with Netanyahu, X has been heavily censoring pro-Palestine content.

“Free speech absolutist”. What a joke.

there is essentially no way to hold X accountable for this behavior. So, boycott it. just uninstall it and pretend it doesn&#x27;t exist.

Freedom of Speech, but only if Elon feels like it today.

I would guess this policy is the result of ADL, other pro-Israel lobbying groups, and Israel itself, pressuring social media groups as part of their hasbara operation. And perhaps Elon Musk is a Zionist himself (he&#x27;s certainly friends with many VCs who are).<p>Miguel de Icaza is a random person to censor. I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;s just a crude, automated policy that goes off the content of the tweet and his account having a large follower count.

Why is this flagged @dang?

Why is this flagged? @dang ?

Staying on X and complaining about it is getting old.

Browsing thru his feed, it does seem pretty negative.<p>Search probably just ranks in part by a sentiment analysis (positivity) score and there&#x27;s probably a minimum cutoff.
