To me the evidence seems to point to the opposite, like the screenshot of LibsOfTikTok: that account was being shielded from moderation action by a warning note saying not to act without speaking to a superior first. Sounds like the account was at benefit, not detriment.

You think that was to protect them? I figured it was because they didn’t want any heavy handed actions to be “misinterpreted” as them putting their finger on the scale. Those actions required more political finesse.

They specifically said in their communications that LibsOfTikTok hadn’t violated any rules directly. Why the suspensions then?
