Offer the fired Twitter content moderators a job making a software shadow ban detector with some kind of verification receipt by the intended recipients. Then if shadow banning is detected by a shortage of receipts, the software makes public the person or software what did the suspected shadow banning. If it is real, let us rip this whole shadow banning out of the shadows by shining a bright light upon the unwholesome and distasteful notion. It just feels wrong to me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I don’t see the disadvantage of any of this openness.
