X introduces tool to flag government removals

X (formerly Twitter) has added new tools to increase transparency regarding content visibility restrictions, aiming to inform users whether their account or posts have been limited in reach due to compliance with local laws or legal requests from governments. The new feature clarifies cases of "shadow banning" or restricted visibility without fully deleting the post by displaying reasons related to legal compliance, along with specifying the country where the request originated. This step allows users to better understand why their content's dissemination has been reduced. It is part of the platform's efforts to enhance transparency and protect the right to expression, reviewing government requests in accordance with laws, and communicating with users if content is blocked unlawfully.
