A serious allegation.

"After posting surveillance footage of a self-driving Tesla causing a major pileup,"Steve Monacelli, "it appears that Ken Klippenstein's account is being restricted from search results — except if you already follow him."

Monacelli's claim was coupled with a few screenshots of a search for Klippenstein's name, in which the reporter's accountThe next day, per Monacelli's Twitter thread, Klippenstein's name was back in search results — but when Monacelli, an investigative reporter, turned to a third-party platform that tests if a Twitter account is being restricted, that site allegedly confirmed that Klippenstein's account had been "slapped with a Search Suggestion Ban.".
