Naveh and his team provide social media protection for content creators, businesses, and enterprises. His professional background is in international brand marketing and e-commerce. Naveh received both his Bachelor of Law and MBA from Reichman University.Shadow banning on Twitter (X.com) can be triggered by various actions that violate the platform's rules and guidelines. Examples include engaging in abusive behavior such as harassment, hate speech, or threats towards other users. Additionally, repeatedly violating Twitter's policies on spamming, such as sending a high volume of unsolicited messages or posting duplicate content, can lead to shadow banning. Using automated tools or bots to artificially amplify engagement, manipulate trends, or spread misinformation may also result in shadow banning. Furthermore, posting or sharing content that contains violence, adult material, or copyrighted material without permission can trigger punitive measures, including shadow banning. It's important to follow Twitter's community standards to avoid being shadow-banned and maintain a positive experience for yourself and other users.
