## Description

The Shadowban Scanner for Twitter (now X) is a powerful browser extension designed to help users detect shadowbans, sensitive content flags, and age restrictions on their accounts and tweets. It provides detailed insights such as identifying countries blocking accounts for legal reasons and flags on profile media including icons and header images.

This tool emphasizes user privacy by performing all analyses locally without transmitting data to external servers or accessing Twitter's internal APIs. While shadowban detection accuracy may vary, its detection of sensitive flags and age restrictions on tweets is nearly perfect. Users are encouraged to utilize it alongside other tools for comprehensive monitoring. Released under the MIT License, this extension is ideal for Twitter users seeking transparency about their content visibility and account status.
