What does ‘shadowbanned’ mean?

If someone is ‘shadowbanned’ on social media, it means their content has been blocked or partially blocked.

However, it will never actually be obvious that the user has ever been banned, your content is simply restricted for a certain amount of time.

A shadow ban also doesn’t stop you from uploading any new content.

How do you know if you are ‘shadowbanned’?

The TikTok app won’t ever actually tell you if you’re ‘shadowbanned’, but if you are then you’ll probably notice.

If you’re uploading new TikTok’s and they’re not getting many views, then that probably means that you’re shadow banned, as TikTok is no longer showing your videos on any For You pages.

However, accounts that follow you will most likely still be able to see your videos.
