CONT

Shadow banning ... is a covert disciplinary measure used by social media platforms. Instead of directly informing users and content creators they've been banned or restricted, the networks subtly make these users' posts invisible to others. Banned users can continue posting and interacting, oblivious to the fact that their contributions are falling on digital deaf ears.
