A somewhat contradictory and ironic term that Canadian bureaucrats love to use. Likely stems from the fact that Canada wants to be seen as "multicultural" and championing social justice values, but at the same time you have to be seriously joking to think that labelling people as a "visible minority" makes people feel included. If anything it has the exact opposite effect, like who tf wants to be labelled a minority? Incredibly idiotic term that only serves the benefit of bureaucrats.
Bureaucrat: Are you a visible minority?
Person 1: Visible minority? *chuckles baffledly* Who thought this term was a good idea?
Bureaucrat: I don't know I'm jus—
Person 1: Global majority would've been much more apt, because most humans aren’t white. But no, you bureaucrats cling to this clunky term, patting yourselves on the back for “diversity” while reinforcing the very divides they claim to bridge.

Visibility Filtering, or VF, is a doublespeak term for shadow banning. It is the act of reducing the amount of views a post gets on social media by the company that owns the platform. Examples are: blocking searches of individual users; limiting the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; blocking select users’ posts from ever appearing on the “trending” page; and from being included in hashtag searches.
“Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool,” one senior Twitter employee told us.
