It’s been a few months since and my website is indeed back in the search results so I advice whoever is having this problem to reach out to Bing.
You've indicated that you've used Bing's tools to see if your website has been indexed but are silent as to whether you've actually manually submitted your site to be indexed by Bing using their url submission tool [0]. If you do submit the URL and then, after a decent interval, your site still doesn't show up then there might be something to your claim.

Elon wants to redefine the term as well but for the purpose of a coordinated witch hunt. People like using shadow ban because it sounds more malicious vs. content that is no longer actively promoted by a company. It's hard to claim you're a victim if the reason is you're just not that interesting or popular.
Well if you are silently placed on a hide list (by manual human intervention without you being able to know without a third party), then by all means that is a shadow ban. Edit for clarity.

Regardless of whether you were notified, if you can see that you are banned, it is by definition not a shadow ban.
Looking around his page, I see some interesting aspects on his atom page: https://daverupert.com/atom.xml First, he sends it with a "content-type: application/xml" header. In contrast to most sites that send it with "content-type: application/atom+xml". Which seems to have the nice effect that it renders in Firefox instead of opening the usual "What should Firefox do with this file?" popup. Secondly, he provides this…
XSLT is a template language where you match snippets of XML using XPath expressions and output... anything else, in this case HTML using templates that can make use of the attributes, inner content, etc. of the captured XML portion. "An elegant weapon for a more... civilized age."
One of the ideas people had back then was having a product catalog in XML that your tool would give you, and that you could upload to your website and display as a nice website via XSLT.
It was such a fascinating technology when I learned about it, but I’m not sure if it ever saw any serious use? Maybe in enterprise?

"Shadow ban" would be a good term to use for that if it didn't already have a meaning that was different. But it does.
This is not a shadow ban. A shadow ban is when it appears to you that you are not banned, but from others perspective you are.
Is there also a term for being algorithmically suppressed on a social media platform, I wonder? I.e. a much more subtle, harder to dectect mechanism whereby the algorithms ensure you get some exposure, but never the same as other unsuppressed people would get based on similar activity. Or only exposure to a certain limited subset of the graph based on some metrics (e.g. just your 'friends' so no one points out you ar…
That doesn't sound as cool and victimey though.
