Tesla employees claim that Twitter has hidden their union account from search results

Tesla workers at the company’s Buffalo Gigafactory have accused Twitter of shadowbanning their newly made union account, according to a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The group had announced their intention to unionize on February 14th and posted a statement on Twitter about “seeking a voice on the job.” However, the group’s tweets stopped appearing in search results by the next day, indicating that their account had been shadowbanned. The group alleges that CEO Elon Musk and/or his representatives caused the Union’s Twitter account to be shadowbanned from the platform.
