Sounds like when I got banned from Instagram a few years back. They just sent me an email with a link to the entire list of terms and conditions with a generic "you're in violation" message. I'd had the account for years with no issue, had it tied to my FB account so they'd crosspost if I actually put something on IG. Hell, I even bought things from their ads from time to time. But nope, banned for no apparent reason. Good thing i didn't really use it and haven't missed it since, but still... it was just weird.
Be happy you are not dealing with Ebay, they find it impossible to understand that something from Persia from the 1900's and earlier is NOT from Iran, so placed a total block on sales for Persian items. No recourse, no solution.
And that is why I paid for my own hosting at the height of the censorship days....Now I get to determine what is posted or not.
Your point about the free services is well made. But the "We are not gonna tell you why you are in violation, you figure it out" is hard to deal with and irritating.

People like that are why we can't have nice things on our websites.

You don’t pay for it. You’re not entitled to anything. It’s that simple. Pony up and pay for your own services and you can post what you want.
Youtube did that to me on comments. So I got rid of their app and will never use them again.

Got banned from ebay too. No reason or rhyme....Amazon is straight forward.
