From an Indian perspective, from the Twitter files, shadow banning 40k accounts 99 percent of them being conservative while all the while saying they aren’t doing anything like this was shady.
Add to that there was no prep to the accounts too, it was just provided without any evidence by an online only news publisher who recently posted fake news about Facebook and got caught.

- rustedspoon 3y agoI read it 3 times, the headline and content do not match, and it doesn't negate anything about shadow banning Indian Twitter accounts
