I once got banned for quoting a spammer to make fun of their spam. They banned me because they thought I was the spammer.

I think certain subjects they do not want to violate you for if not against the rules so they find a pretext on an unrelated subject, automation is their excuse.
Just like uhealth putting ai in charge of denying claims that qualify, or the uk putting ai in charge of post office fraud, or michigan in charge of unemployment insurance claims. They were all set up to deny legit claims and flag legit claims. They deny there is a problem with software until they cannot, then oops, only the ai is at fault, as if it was not knowing.
We have no rights in the us so social media will never get to that admitting stage. The government is the one telling them to find pretexts to violate accounts oftentimes too.
