Do the owners of sites like Twitter and face book know who and why some, and it seems an increasing number, of accounts are shadow banned? Its a fascinating question because the very clandestine nature of it seems to require site owners to place a great deal of trust in site employees, unless of course site owners and/or directors check every account that's shadow banned as it happens, which seems unlikely.
Contracts may appear water tight and unbreakable but what if a member of staff bans someone for personal reasons? Is there not then an entirely different kind of case? Particularly if it can be shown a staff member hacked and stalked a site user then shadow banned that user to conceal the crime?
Social Media is changing and among the changes there appear to be attempts to ban people without telling them why they are banned. I think people deserve and have the right to be told. It seems arbitrary to ban someone for reasons they are not allowed to know.
Its an interesting point, that's all I'm saying.
