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).

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 …Show this thread

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.

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.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

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
