I guess I would call it soft censorship, as you can still find the information if you look for it and is thus categorically different from hard censorship.

I thankfully acknowledge receipt of a zap 🙃

fair point, however it’s still inverting the responsibility of data not being available - “it’s not because we censored it, it’s because you didn’t look hard enough/in the right places/didn’t know what to look for”

the above also has quite a bit of gaslighting potential
