In what appears to be new ranking behavior, Gizmodo has identified several prominent far-right accounts now buried by Twitter's search feature.
The accounts—which belong to figures like Unite The Right organizer Jason Kessler and white nationalist Richard Spencer—no longer appear in the social platform's dropdown results, when searching either for their display names or @ handles.
"Search all" on desktop, and sorting by "People" after a search on mobile still generate the expected results, but Twitter seems to intend to reduce the ease with which these personalities can grow their followings. The move follows Twitter's plans to limit the reach of "troll-like behavior," announced in May.

Come on now. _MAY_ be putting their thumb on the scale and openly lying about it, selling themselves as a Freedom communication network? Anyone who doesn't know what's going on with Twitter by now hasn't been paying attention. It's only valid use is non-stop shitposting while you wait in a line.
