Twitter Inc owner Elon Musk, continuing a shake-up of the platform he acquired in October for US$44bil (RM193.54bil), said the company will begin telling users if their posts have been suppressed and give them an avenue to appeal.

The announcement followed a Twitter thread by journalist Bari Weiss, who has been granted access to company documents, saying that conservative commentators had their tweets downplayed by employees – a process known as “shadowbanning”. She and writer Matt Taibbi have been publishing findings from the trove of documents in a series they have called The Twitter Files – with Musk cheering them on.
