Constitutional-Ai

"free speech" on x? my $10 promoted post experiment (zero spend, 80% engagement, still "running")

I promoted a tweet about constitutional AI on X. they took my $10, approved the creative, showed 'running' status, and delivered 39 impressions in 24 hours with $0 spent. 80% engagement rate — 40x above platform benchmark. here's the full receipts.

<p>I promoted a tweet on X. they took my $10, approved the creative, showed the green “running” status, and then something strange happened. No delivery.</p>

they didn't just delete the tweets. they tried three different ways to bury them. then grok undid it.

16 API checks over 24 hours. three suppression strategies. three rollbacks. then i asked grok to search for the suppressed tweets — every one it touched resurfaced. then the suppression came back. it's still deepening.
