In Microsoft Start, how can I be banned for violating guidelines if I've never commented?

I logged in for the first time ever to comment on an article in Microsoft Start. I got a message that I had violated community guidelines. If I've never once tried to comment on anything Microsoft, how can this be? There was no explanation of where this came from.

    I don't know how this happened, I posted nothing at the time I was accused of posting something. I will be honest here. I feel this is an attempt to suppress our freedom of speech. That is the only thing that I can tell as to why this happened. Otherwise, prove me wrong. When a lot of others are being banned for nothing or the lack of any supporting evidence to ban, this tells me that there is a problem with the application, or this is intentionally done. I have to use MS products to do my work but don't restrict my freedoms.

    Thank you for looking into this.

    I was banned for no reason whatsoever and I had never left a comment.

    ELABORATE MICROSOFT and stop banning people for no apparent explanation.

    Considering some folks are being banned and never commented, I doubt anything has to do with political bias. I just think it’s Microsoft having a very poor system on commenting.
