The bans are fully symmetrical now. If A bans B, then:
A doesn't see B's posts, comments content, likes and comment likes;
B doesn't see A's posts, comments content, likes and comment likes.
By default, comments are displayed as placeholders, but the viewer can turn them off completely. Also, one can disable bans in some groups, see the [2.7.0] release for the bans logic in this case.
⚠ BUT the ban symmetry is DELIBERATELY BROKEN for now. It works for likes and comment likes, but the A's comments content is still visible for B. Such comments have an additional _hideType = 4 field in API responses ('4' is the Comment.HIDDEN_VIEWER_BANNED constant). The client code can hide such comments on its level.
