A few days ago I had to prove I was human with the weirdest captcha I've ever seen. Then this showed up in my notifications:

>Why does my account have a label? >Transparency on X is very important. This is why we are letting you know that we have found your account may contain spam or be engaging in other types of inauthentic behaviors. You may not engage in behaviors that manipulate X or artificially impact how content is discovered and amplified.

>What does this mean for my account? >The reach of your account may be limited and its content may also be temporarily restricted, such as being excluded from trends, replies, and recommended notifications. You can learn more about this temporary impact to your account here. Our automated systems sometimes make mistakes and we are working to improve them.

No idea what the label is, what I did to incur it, or when if ever it will be lifted. The link to learn more is just generic boilerplate. Great system.
