Shadowbanning is a practice where a user’s content on social media platforms is made less visible or hidden without their knowledge. Unlike outright bans, where users are notified and blocked from posting, shadowbanned users can still post content, but it may not appear in feeds, search results, or public timelines. This practice is often used to reduce the spread of spam, misinformation, or abusive behavior, but it can be controversial when applied without transparency. For users, shadowbanning can be frustrating as they may not realize their content is being suppressed, leading to confusion and a sense of censorship.
