blacklistings
Formal prohibition entries
Blacklistings are instances of being placed on a blacklist—a register of people or entities to be excluded, denied service, or punished.
The term often appears in contexts of employment discrimination, political persecution, or industry bans: The Hollywood blacklistings of the 1950s destroyed many careers.
In computing, blacklistings block specific addresses or programs from access.
