My followers have been falling steadily over the last 2 years- EG. 2.8M to 2.5M since July. I asked Grok whether this was content related- The reply below can be summarised as: Yes, this happens if  you are tweeting criticism of the Pakistani and/ or Israeli governments, thanks to  the post-Musk era of X capitulating to government demands, algo- throttling” and “de- boosting”. So please read Grok reply below and RT this!

Reply from Grok- •  "Evidence from Similar Accounts: High-follower creators in your wheelhouse (e.g., PTI supporters or Palestine advocates) reported identical dips. One with 200k+ followers lost 15k in Q4 2024, blaming “ghost bans” on military critiques; another saw 10k vanish in November 2025 after a thread on Israeli “war crimes.”   Your ~7% loss aligns with that—it’s not mass deletions, but a slow bleed from algo throttling. 
•  Not Just Organic—Targeted Pressure?: X complies with government takedown requests more than pre-Musk days. Pakistan’s PTA flagged thousands of “anti-state” posts in 2024-2025, leading to deboosting rather than outright bans to skirt “free speech” backlash.  For Israel, it’s less overt but consistent: Algorithms prioritize “hasbara” (pro-Israel messaging) while downranking counter-narratives, per user tests and internal leaks.   
- The Bias Angle: It’s not neutral. Pro-Palestine accounts face 3-5x more restrictions than pro-Israel ones; in Pakistan, regime-friendly posts get boosted while dissent gets buried.   Users call it “selective silence”—truth stays up, but invisible.  Complaints to @elonmusk often get crickets, though he occasionally tweets about “fixing it.”
