That was quick! Hopefully you will be up on YouTube asap!
I suspect the "Russian Trolls" that caused this are probably are Americans in the far-right who are in favor of Putin and his crappy war. Some of the QAnons think that this war is simply to get rid of Dr. Fauci's Bioweapons Labs that he built in the Ukraine. This sounds more like something made up for SNL or National Lampoon but unfortunately like PizzaGate people believe it.
My daughter Lila who is half my age is more familiar with TikTok. She writes, with regard to your experience "Ah yeah unfortunately TikTok has a long history of banning users this way, they’re one of the most aggressive apps on banning/suppression both for users and algorithms. Unfortunately a trend outside of this particular crisis. "
I think it's becoming evident that communications channels that can be controlled by authoritarian regimes *will* be controlled, *especially* when specific content casts authoritarian actions in a bad light. I'm kinda surprised they left your account in place at all. Please do put your material on YT, John--you'll probably hit a wider audience anyway (and that's where I'd watch, cuz I'm not on TikTok).
Sad to hear about this, John. I have checked out a few of the videos and do not see anything on that should objectively consider violating terms of service. Per your request, I have forwarded the link of this post to my Congressman in MA.

Hi John, I just sent a PM on Facebook Messenger regarding moderating. Minimally, you can reach me at caseyburnsflutes@gmail.com Would love to help!
Great livestream on YouTube. I was curious about who owns or invests in TikTok. Jeffrey Vass, the richest billionaire in PA was one of its earliest investors. His politics are far right leaning. My guess is that he is behind your banning on TikTok. See this article on him: https://billypenn.com/2021/01/21/jeffrey-yass-philadelphia-billionaire-election-challengers-political-background/
