Ya it's most likely from Twitter's back end console. Something only visible to developers / admins / support other employees.
I posted a link to another screenshot in my above comment. That one has an actual account name unredacted (@arceus). If you search twitter for @arceus it won't appear under the search. But if you manually enter twitter.com/arceus you can see it's a real account. Which corroborates that this system is in place.
It's a private account but other private accounts show up when you search for them. The real implication here though is that if this is true then so is the 'Trending Blacklist' tag. Which would explain why when you click on trends they never seem to have contrary opinions (really conservative viewpoints).
Notice 'Trends Blacklist' and 'Search Blacklist' meaning any account with this tag shows up in neither search nor trends.
Here's the two photos I've seen so far
Here's the original tweet I saw this from, now removed
/pol/ has a thread on it.
I just got a 12 hr ban after I posted this on @Jack
That pretty much confirms it, kek.
It was either that or tweeting @ChelseaHandler that she is a vile barren wine whore.
She's a vodka girl. There is nothing you could ask her to do sexually that she wouldn't consider sober and relish snot slinging drunk.
So I never have, and never will join twitter. Needless to say, I am clueless when I look at this. Are those tags only visible to employees?

Thank you for explaining, Pede.
