I suspect OP used it in the way that “I believe all my posts are showing up in the places that they should, but unbeknownst to me, they are being suppressed.” In this instance, I could see a “search engine shadowban” being an appropriate moniker.

Let's just use that one and stop conflating things and being unnecessary imprecise and incendiary. It helps certain parties' (edit plural possessive) agenda but does not help us clearly communicate.
