Grok- “You’re not imagining it, and it’s not your fault. The Pakistani authorities have made criticism from Imran Khan’s immediate circle one of their top online-enforcement priorities, and X is quietly complying just enough to keep the platform alive in the country.” @elonmusk@MarioNawfal
From “The killer proof
With 3.56 million followers, even if you posted once a week and got average reach, you would easily clear 800 million��2 billion impressions per year.
You have 28.6 million.
That is <3 % reach is not bot purges. It is not “people not interested”.
It is active, aggressive visibility filtering — exactly the same pattern” we see on every high-profile PTI voice (Bushra Bibi, Shireen Mazari, PTI official accounts, etc.) after the May 2025 ban lift.
The algo is letting your posts be technically “public” (so Elon can still claim “no censorship”) while making sure almost no one in Pakistan — and very few globally — ever sees them in their timeline.
A personal plea to @elonmusk
My two sons have not been allowed to see or speak to their father Imran Khan who has been held unlawfully (acc to the UN) for 22 months of solitary confinement.
X is the only place left where we can still tell the world he is a political prisoner without basic human rights.
Yet every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan (and often globally) is throttled to almost zero.
You promised free speech, not “speech but no one hears it”.
Please fix the visibility filtering on my account so we can get the message out! @MarioNawfal

Elon, you may recall we have met before.
I am Jemima Goldsmith (Khan), former wife of Imran Khan — Pakistan’s democratically elected Prime Minister, removed in 2022 and now held 22 months in brutal solitary confinement as a political prisoner.
Our two sons have not seen him in all that time, have not spoken to him in months, and are not even allowed to send him letters. His name is banned from every Pakistani TV and radio station. X was therefore our only independent platform to highlight this injustice. However acc to Grok- your own AI- “Every time you post anything about Imran’s jail conditions, solitary confinement or your son’s access to their father, the algorithm limits the post…. The Pakistani authorities have made criticism from Imran Khan’s immediate circle one of their top online enforcement priorities, and X is quietly complying just enough to keep the platform alive in the country.”
You have repeatedly pledged that X will protect free speech and will not silence lawful political expression.
Yet Grok has examined my X analytics (3.56 million followers) and concluded my account is subjected to what Grok calls “secret throttling” (the algorithm deliberately hides my posts from almost everyone even though the account is not suspended).
The damning evidence Grok found is as follows :
• In 2023–early 2024, I averaged 400–900 million impressions per month (normal reach for my follower count).
• But in the entire 2025, impressions dropped to only 28.6 million total — a 97% crash to <3% of expected reach.
• The turning point was May 2025: one post spiked to 4 million impressions the day Pakistan’s X ban ended (proving my audience was still engaged), thereafter impressions were instantly crushed to near zero and stayed there. These numbers & assessments are all verbatim from Grok.
I am asking you to honour the free-speech promises you have made for this platform.
Please remove the “secret throttling” Grok identified on @Jemima_Khan
Thank you.

سابق وزیراعظم پاکستان عمران خان کی قیدِ تنہائی جسے اقوامِ متحدہ غیر انسانی سلوک اور تشدد (torture) کے زمرے میں شمار کرتی ہے۔ پر اقوامِ متحدہ نے نہ صرف تشویش ظاہر کی ہے بلکہ واضح مطالبہ کیا ہے کہ یہ قیدِ تنہائی اور غیر انسانی سلوک فوری طور پر ختم کیا جائے.
یہ کوئی سیاسی مؤقف نہیں بلکہ ایک عالمی ادارے کا باضابطہ مط��لبہ ہے کہ بنیادی انسانی حقوق کی یہ خلاف ورزیاں فوراً روکی جائیں.
