File:Semi-censorship on Twitter (hiding non-offensive content under "Show additional replies").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/KialoEdu/status/1663916318368620558. It shows a Tweet being hidden when there aren't many (in this case none) other tweets. If this is done when there are some Tweets, the post is even more semi-censored.

This happens often to me even when my tweet is completely unoffensive (the example was even expressing gratitude for the people replied to).

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 company CEOs 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.
