Interesting looks like a moderation tool form the screenshots. You can block a user from timelines and searches or a tweet.

So the infamous "shadow ban" actually does exist on Twitter, based on this screenshot. I remember them actively denying this two years ago when a wave of shadow ban incidents hit German news.

Where do you see a shadowban option on that screenshot?

"Search blacklist" is one of the things that indicates a shadow ban (per https://shadowban.eu/). Lower left corner in the screenshot.

that's nothing controversial surely, like your bank doesn't explain the anti fraud mechanisms even if you posted "this is exactly how it works"

Shadowbanning people is a form of psychological abuse. To be honest it should be banned by law.
