Jemima Goldsmith Accuses X of Throttling Posts on Imran Khan
Jemima Goldsmith, the ex-wife of Imran Khan, who is a jailed leader in Pakistan, wrote to Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter).
She is asking for help because her posts about her ex-husband's situation are not reaching many people.
She says her two sons cannot see their father, who has been in prison for 22 months in solitary confinement.
She believes he is a political prisoner and that her messages are being limited so that fewer people can see them.
She thinks X is the only place left to share this important information.
She also mentioned that her account's reach has dropped by 97%, and she wants Elon Musk to intervene.
Jemima Goldsmith, ex-wife of Imran Khan, accuses X of throttling her posts about his imprisonment.
She claims her posts do not reach the public, despite X being a crucial platform for free speech on the matter.
Imran Khan has been held in solitary confinement for 22 months, with their two sons barred from seeing him.
Goldsmith's account, with 3.5 million followers, saw a 97% drop in impressions, from 400-900 million to 28.6 million.
She urges Elon Musk to intervene, citing algorithmic filtering that undermines his pledges to protect political speech.
