Many accounts that were affected by the quality filter appear to no longer be hidden by the search filter.
Some people seem to use the unreliable tester at shadowban.org. It returns a positive result for any account due to a backend error. (archive.fo/FbCZu)

Someone on 8ch.net/qresearch/res/… suggests that our tester may be fooled by Twitter. While in principle this might be possible, I have tried to verify this claim by manually testing a few accounts, that were previously affected, but did not find any indications to support it.
Still, we need to be wary about the effects of the change. One important question, that has not been answered yet, is whether accounts that have previously been affected by #QFD can contribute to the ranking of the trends. This is tough to answer because algorithms are opaque.
1/5 #QFD + 2 Months
General opinion is that the problem was first identified in Germany 2 Months ago when the QFD virus spilled over from right wing extremist groups into the mainstream AFD party and then into other mainstream parties.
In the USA it went public 2 weeks ago . . .

2/5 when the percentage affected jumped from 20% to 95% overnight, this is due to the extinction gene built into the virus which states that if 20% off your followers have QFD, you get QFD as well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out, that this single part of the . . .
3/5 healthy discussion initiative at Twitter will become its undoing and is now the most important part for them to cover up as part of its damage limitation exercise. Previously 1 in 5 conservative activists had their accounts restricted which still enabled "free speech" . . .
Twitter's search paging is screwed because of their quality filter. They simply hide posts after paging takes place.
Visit twitter.com/search?f=tweet…. Scroll up and down for new results to appear. Then turn the filter off.
Your scrolling effort indicates the degree of censorship. 😂

When you scroll to the bottom, Twitter usually fetches 20 new results. However, it is possible that the backend returns less than 20 posts when the quality filter is enabled. Sometimes scrolling seemingly does not work because all posts are filtered and no result is returned. 😂
It appears that this behavior can be weaponized as follows: Coordinate the spamming of a hashtag or search query by accounts affected by #QFD. If the first page only contains filtered tweets, search results will not show up.
Maybe one can have a little fun with this. 😁

A thread on how MSM failed to report on shadow bans:
Sputnik News did a better job reporting on the shadow banning issue than most MSM sites. Others simply allowed Twitter to define the term and then used that definition in order to disprove the claims by Twitter's opponents.

Twitter even violates their own definition. They do shadow ban and there is evidence which can be reproduced. Ghost commenting (which we call thread ban) is the very original form of shadow banning. There is no way to not call this type of ban shadow ban.

To @Jack, @delbius, @Twitter & @TwitterSupport,
I expect an explanation about the attached image.
Am I being #Shadowbanned?
Does your #QFD ban apply to me, an individual who is reporting on #Iran & speaking out against the regime's atrocities?
If so, I'm sorry for Twitter.
#Shame

The replies I've been receiving about #QFDshadowbanning are quite interesting.
TBH, this actually motivates me to continue voicing the truth about #Iran's regime.
We can only hope Twitter comes to its senses & stops this banning.

I have been asked for an English thread about Twitter's shadow banning practice. So here it is. An open source test that recognizes various types of shadow bans is available at shadowban.eu.
Why the uproar now? Because new ban methods appear to be politically biased.

The most famous ban is the conventional shadow ban. It causes your tweets to only be visible to your followers. In this case, retweets will not have any effect and tweets are hidden to non-followers within threads. Non-followers can only reach your tweets by visiting your /+
profile or directly through URLs. The screenshot below illustrates this ban method. Because @_JoeyMcGuire is affected by this type of ban, his tweets are hidden if you did not browse to their respective URL specifically.

Nachfolgend geht es u.a. darum, wie die QFD halbwegs elegant umgangen werden kann. Das funktioniert gemeinschaftlich am besten. Daher: bitte teilen.
Außerdem hoffe ich, dass wir genügend Druck auf die AfD-BT-Fraktion ausüben können. Auch das klappt gemeinschaftlich am besten, s. unten. Vielleicht kann auf diese Weise der QFD irgendwann der Garaus gemacht werden.
