A browser extension that detects shadowbans on Twitter.
The settings cannot be changed in the user script version. If you need detailed customization, please use the Browser Extensions version.
- Detects shadowbans per account
- Detects sensitive flags per tweet
- Detects age restrictions on tweets.
For per-account shadowban detection, as with many other tools, false positives and false negatives can occur. On the other hand, per-tweet sensitive flags and age restrictions can be detected almost flawlessly.
Twitter has a possibly_sensitive flag on a per-account and per-tweet basis.
If the possibly_sensitive flag for an account is true, the account is most likely shadowbanned. If it has been shadowbanned, tweets may not appear in search results depending on the viewer's account settings. For example, if the viewer's country setting is set to "Japan", tweets from shadowbanned accounts will not appear in search results.
Also, if a tweet's possibly_sensitive flag is set to true, the tweet may no longer appear in search results. There are two levels of sensitivity flags for tweets. The mildest level will prevent tweets from appearing in search results for accounts that have the Do not show sensitive content setting turned on. Severe ones, in addition to no longer appearing in search results, will also impose age restrictions, preventing underage accounts and non-logged-in users from viewing the tweet.
