X suspended accounts belonging to users who were criticizing Vice President JD Vance and the administration's Iran policy, triggering major backlash over platform censorship. The suspensions appeared coordinated around specific political content.
This is a platform removing accounts for political speech. Unlike random moderation decisions, suspending accounts for criticizing a sitting vice president looks like the platform enforcing official preference. The timing around Iran policy disagreement—a live foreign policy crisis—makes it more acute. It signals that political speech critical of the administration faces platform risk, not just algorithm demotion.
