She claimed that the reach of her posts has been severely restricted. “Every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan and often globally is throttled to almost zero,” she said. She called on Musk to address what she described as “secret throttling” of her account, which she said prevents people from seeing her posts despite her having over 3.5 million followers.
