Stats indicate Twitter is killing pro-life senator Ted Cruz’s tweets

April 9, 2018 (American Thinker) – Has Ted Cruz been shadowbanned by Twitter?

As Ace at Ace of Spades via Instapundit puts it, it "sure looks that way" (read the whole thing). He writes:

    "Shadowbanning" is a banning that's hidden from the user. They don't ban you outright, but they do block everyone except the people you most frequently interact with from seeing your tweets.

I know one version of this story already was posted, I'm not sure if this is the same exact one, if the American Thinker was the source or some other one.  It's a well-written article.

Somehow, I am not surprised.
I haven't seen a lot of his tweets lately.

Cruz voted for a budget earlier in the year that funded Planned Parenthood. Don't expect anyone to bring that up. ... Let alone cuss at you about it.

So, you think that's why he's being shadow banned?
