DescriptionSemi-censorship on Twitter (hiding non-offensive content under "Show additional replies"); Cropped and light theme.png
English: Such tweets often don't contain anything offensive, as was the case in this example.
Screenshot of tweet that I wrote in reply to https://twitter.com/Wikidebats/status/1645798356042514432. It shows a Tweet being hidden when there aren't many other tweets. If this is done when there are many Tweets, the post is even more semi-censored.
This happens often to me even when my tweet is completely unoffensive (as in this example).
No warning about offensive language has ever been shown to me on Twitter, it's just semi-censored.
Many other people have similar problems, see for example here.
Tweets hidden this way are not showing up in the notifications of the person replied to and most people on Twitter don't push that button to see replies.
Censorship is not only done by governments. There is no place to complain about this and it lasted for years. It should be a crime. It shows why algorithmic transparency is important; media companies can decide to censor or promote all sort of things, such as what advertisers paid for or what they invested in or their personal opinions.

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright.
This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.

A type of censorship that does not remove content entirely but only moves out of most people's view; example: Tweet-hiding by Twitter algorithms (hidden under "Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content").
