X Expands Tool to Show When Posts Are Restricted Due to Local Laws
X, formerly Twitter, has expanded its 'Under the Hood' transparency tool to inform users when their posts or accounts have reduced visibility due to compliance with local laws. The update allows eligible users to download reports showing if and where posts were withheld following government legal demands, including the specific country involved. This aims to clarify concerns about 'shadow banning' by providing detailed information on content restrictions tied to legal requirements. The feature is available to accounts meeting activity and age criteria.
