That is a whole bucket of vaguery right there.
But even if you can substantiate "vanishing likes" as a problem, that doesn't prove much. Likes vanish all the time as Twitter rolls up bot networks. You'd first have to demonstrate that this was happening, and then show it was happening disproportionately to some accounts and not others.
And then once you had that, you'd have to show that the problem wasn't just excess fake engagement supporting right-wing narratives, as that's a very plausible explanation here.
