    zeynep tufekci Retweeted Alina Chan

    I can verify this is happening to her replies that have no offensive content whatsoever—but in fact are substantive. It’s likely because people who disagree with her have reported her as “misinformation”—and the automated system is very prone to manipulation like this.https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1462782744635785222 …

    My @Twitter replies are being deboosted. For example, often hidden under “Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content.” So I’m going to RT some of my own replies and ask for the help of people following me to help counter the Twitter deboosting. https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1462450184005296134 …

        This is a constant problem on platforms. People will gang up and report someone, baselessly, just to silence them and it works because managing this requires a high level of judgment. (In this case, she writes about COVID origins—a contentious, sometimes censored topic).

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted George.btc Peacock

        So @Twitter could verify her, I suppose? Absolutely fine to disagree with her, as many do, but she’s not posting offensive content or anything needing censoring. She’s a junior person who upset a bunch of senior people. Such tensions can’t be settled under “misinformation” logic.https://twitter.com/Peacockg/status/1462790874371403783 …

        Ok. Started following her. I am unclear what mechanism would help her. I'm not blue check but I'm willing to help If I can.

        Replying to @zeynep

        I've noticed one of @Ayjchan's replies to me was deboosted and I didn't get notified. I think that's because it was also a reply to Peter Daszak, who blocked her, and the algorithm has a heuristic that replies to a blocker are low quality.

        I have checked @Ayjchan account on this website, but it seems there's no shadow ban on her. Weird, I thought this tool was working! https://shadowban.eu/Ayjchan

        I don’t think the complaint is even that she’s shadowbanned. It’s just people she responds to in a thread are replying to people who have blocked her and so Twitter makes you click to see the response. The complaint was only to stuff she was responding to
