Twitter suspends @ElonJet, a popular bot that tracked Elon Musk's private jet, days after its creator accused Twitter of shadowbanning the account
Days after @ElonJet accused Twitter of shadowbanning, it's been suspended. Musk had said he wouldn't ban the account even though it was a “safety” risk for him.

Internal messages obtained by a anonymous Twitter employee explained to me that on “Dec 2 2022 your account @elonjet was visibility limited/restricted to a severe degree internally.”

It appears @ElonJet is longer banned or hidden in anyway. I think Twitter noticed my tweets and back tracked. Guilty in my book. https://twitter.com/...

Between this and the Alex Jones and Kanye suspensions, it seems like the moderation policy is that stuff that is sufficiently anger-inducing or embarrassing for Musk specially gets banned https://twitter.com/...

A day after the owner of @ElonJet said Twitter lifted the shadowban of his account, it appears that Twitter has straight up banned it. https://twitter.com/...
