I’ve seen warnings and discussions about X (formerly Twitter) flagging accounts for “platform manipulation,” but the term itself feels vague. Some people describe sudden drops in reach, while others mention temporary restrictions or unusual behavior on their accounts.
What exactly counts as platform manipulation on X? When an account is flagged, what changes behind the scenes — does content stop appearing in feeds, replies, or recommendations? I’m also curious whether this flag is permanent or something accounts can recover from over time. A clear explanation of what really happens after such a flag would help clarify how serious the situation is.
