Why is account locked right after making a comment critical of apple?

Have had account for more than 15 years. Made one critical comment about apple. Comment shadow banned and account locked. What gives?

That does not answer the question, thank you for your efforts.

Not sure if you read the provided link, but it tells you exactly why a comment will be removed and having an account suspended. Having an account for 15 years makes no difference.


Shadow Banning is the removal of a post from others, but you can still see it. That is not the case here, when a post is removed, you will no longer see it either.
