Wish I could find a more neutral source, but this is what is available. I was surprised to see this, I had thought that shadowbans on twitter were like those on reddit, so only used for non-human bots.

A shadowban does not hide comments from the bot account but does hide it from not logged in users. It’s trivial to code a check for. Shadowbans only work against annoying humans that don’t pay attention.

I'm seeing a lot of results (USA). Is this a region specific issue? https://twitter.com/search?q=Giorgia+Meloni+filter%3Avideos&f=live https://twitter.com/search?q=Giorgia+Meloni+filter%3Avideos&...

    It may be partially resolved in some ways, but it is in no way "B.S." Please note the lack of results on the images and video tabs for yourself: https://twitter.com/search?q=giorgia%20meloni&f=video https://twitter.com/search?q=giorgia%20meloni&f=video https://twitter.com/search?q=giorgia%20meloni&f=image https://twitter.com/search?q=giorgia%20meloni&f=image It now seems populated with a combined 3 results between the two tabs linked. If it is a technical malfunction rather than a shadow ban, what do you suspect is happening? EDIT: Adding archive links for proof, looks like 4 results combined: https://archive.ph/0D8vt https://archive.ph/0D8vt https://archive.ph/Sg4WP https://archive.ph/Sg4WP

  Results are different between your link and https://twitter.com/search?q=Giorgia%20Meloni&src=typed_query&f=video https://twitter.com/search?q=Giorgia%20Meloni&src=typed_quer... (i.e. the "videos" tab, and a normal search with "filter:videos" appended) The article is referring to the former (as can be seen from the screenshot). And the results seem to be changing - when before I got zero results for the video tab search, I now get exactly one - a video posted 3 hours ago.
