Trump 'shadow ban' tweet: A F.A.Q.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/07/26/trump-shadow-ban-tweet-a-f-a-q/ It's not a ban, hence the vague qualifier "shadow." One of those who was being "shadow banned" was Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel (who now shows up in a search). Had you gone to McDaniel's Twitter page directly, you could have seen all her tweets and interacted as you wished. It was apparently just that some people weren't showing up in Twitter's search tool. Had you Googled "Ronna McDaniel Twitter" (certainly a more common way of finding her account), you would have been pointed to her Twitter page. - - - The reason Republicans are getting hit by these bans is that they -- far more than Democrats -- behave like sociopathic animals on Twitter, and publicly associate themselves with alt-right garbage.
