X shares more insight into penalties impacting post reach
The update adds country-level request details and lets eligible users download aggregate account data as a JSON file.
- On Monday, X announced its 'Under The Hood' tool now reveals if the platform limited post visibility to comply with local laws, showing which country made the request.
- This expansion builds on the 'Hood' feature launched last month, which initially offered transparency about labels applied to posts and the algorithms powering the 'For You' feed.
- To access the data, accounts must be at least one year old and have posted more than 10 times in the previous month, downloading aggregate stats as a JSON file.
- The update provides insight into post downranking due to government-required content filtering, including which posts were withheld and which Governments made requests, addressing shadowbanning concerns.
- Critics note that some Governments cite hate speech or election rules for content demands, though free-expression groups say such laws are sometimes used to suppress political dissent.
