A “search blacklist” is, in essence, a shadow ban. Although the account is still active and the owner can still Tweet, other users are unable to seach for the Twitter user. Dan Bongino, conservative commentator, radio show host, author, and former Secret Service agent was placed on one of these “search blacklist[s]”. He is the host of the daily political podcast “The Dan Bongino Show” and a regular contributor to conservative media outlets such as Fox News. Bongino is known for his strong support of President Donald Trump and his opposition to liberal policies and politicians. He has also written several books, including “The Fight: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine” and “Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump.”
