Shashi Tharoor’s Stagnant Follower Count at 8 Million raises questions on X/Twitter
Another longstanding issue that Dr. Shashi Tharoor has raised about X (formerly Twitter) is under which he notes that his followers number had inexplicably remained stagnant at 8.4 million in excess of four years even when millions of people are joining daily. Accusing a possible “shadow-ban”, Tharoor attacked X and its Indian team for lack of action and transparency. Such attempts to clarify things from Elon Musk were dismissed through the law and ironically deepen concerns about algorithmic fairness and platform accountability. This case points up deeper questions of suppression and bias on social media requiring urgent introspection and reform.
