Shadowbanning is the most perfidious censorship of them all because someone doesn't even know they've been banned from a given platform and still, sometimes for a long time, wastes their time and energy trying to reach someone, not knowing that they're wasting their time.
Basically, it can be compared to gaslighting! Such a person is kept in the belief for a long time that it's not the fault of censorship, but simply that their content is of no interest to anyone and does not reach anyone, which, apart from wasted time and energy, can manifest itself in a sense of rejection and depression in someone who, despite their best efforts, is kept in such a bubble. Because, for example, efforts to promote their business or other slaughters that people undertake in connection with their activity on social media, just to survive, not to mention. I wouldn't be surprised that "freedom of speech" on x could be based on such procedures because when it comes to Musk, I don't trust this guy. In my opinion, he only creates himself as a "freedom fighter" to lead true freedom fighters astray.
Wasn't it Elon that talked of "Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach?"

yeah ;) nothing like playing with words ;) They do it all the time
