Amouranth Accuses Twitter of Censorship
Twitch streamer Kaitlyn «Amouranth» Siragusa is railing against practices by Twitter that she believes are basically censorship by hiding content it deems inappropriate. The incredibly popular Twitch content producer believes that even if the website isn't actually blocking this content, making it harder for users to see it and share it is essentially the same as banning it entirely.
In making her argument, Siragusa shared a tweet that had been hidden by Twitter from an adult content website. The irony of the post being hidden was that it, in turn, was demanding that Facebook parent company, Meta, answers for “unfairly” singling out certain creators with bans, what's known as shadow-bans, and various suspensions. It was when one of Amouranth's followers then claimed what she was pointing to was not actually censorship that she further explained her position.

Amouranth knows a thing or two about business and social media and she wasn't afraid to let the user who had replied how silly she found their response. She started her own rebuttal by claiming the poster had «mansplained» what censorship was before she made it clear that she'd used social media to build her brand.
«Requiring someone to change default settings IS censoring,” the Twitch streamer tweeted. “Favoring content in such a way makes a HUGE difference. I have default settings on this account TO be able to see what is and isn’t censored.” She added that if she engaged or retweeted posts that had been hidden by the social media site would have a direct impact on how much exposure could get. She argued that Twitter would actually punish her for sharing those posts by „throttling“ her content.
