Scott Adams recently covers his [ongoing shadowban](http://blog.dilbert.com/post/152204980091/twitter-and-periscope-shadowban-update), the symptoms of which match those of other shadowbans: results easily visible on a users timeline not showing up in the regular “algorithm” timeline, or more significantly, in search results. He also covers how his Periscope numbers, “coincidentally” drop to zero (though he still is interacting with viewers who can still see his stream) when he starts discussing…
