Why Did Elon Musk's X Platform Censor Our Content On Tibetan Independence?

We know how well the team @tibettruth are doing over on ‘X’. That the account is being targeted by Chinese political bots and trolls is a welcome indication that our message on Tibet is strong and un-welcomed by the China’s regime. Keep up the great job folks!

What’s disappointing though is the censorship and restrictions placed by @elonmusk and his @X colleagues. Limiting our follower count, preventing the massive interest; and support in our online work on Tibet’s cause, translating into increased followers.

Today we noticed again that our posts (double tap/click image above) are being interfered with by @X. A cynical and sly measure to obscure and reduce the reach of our content by labeling it as ‘sensitive’. This discourages viewing counts, since people regard such a warning as indicating unsuitable, disturbing, or abusive content. This is the second occasion we’ve suffered such censorship, which is curious given Mr Musk postures as a champion of free speech!
