This method of execution is most closely associated with the British colonial rule in India. Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, "blowing from a gun" was a method the British used to execute rebels as well as for Indian sepoys who were found guilty of desertion. Using the methods previously practised by the Mughals, the British began implementing blowing from guns in the latter half of the 18th century.

Destruction of the body and scattering of the remains over a wide area had a religious function as a means of execution in the Indian subcontinent as it prevented the necessary funeral rites of Hindus and Muslims. Accordingly, for believers the punishment was extended beyond death. This was well understood by foreign occupiers and the practice was not generally employed by them as concurrent foreign occupiers of Africa, Australasia or the Americas.

I was wondering what went into "reputation score", and it's apparently just how many times someone gets reported. So twitter was preventing people who were reported a lot from trending. Sounds useful to me? Maybe not very sophisticated but practical, and not exactly a shadowban. Could have been used as a stop-gap measure while they were developing something better.
