Tinder Banned My Account for "Commercial Sexual Services" With Zero Warning or Evidence

My Tinder account was suddenly shut down today with no warning and no explanation, under the accusation of "commercial sexual services." I am an ordinary, law-abiding user of the app, and being hit with such a serious and deeply offensive accusation is both humiliating and profoundly unjust. I've also seen numerous similar complaints online from other users who received the exact same stated reason, which shows just how arbitrarily and carelessly this label is being applied.
My account was closed sometime around midday, and this was the reason I was shown when I tried to log in. I had not received any prior warning, email, or notification of any kind. I subsequently submitted a review request through the app — though I have serious doubts about whether a fair review is even possible from a system that throws around accusations this serious so casually and without any explanation.
I do not accept Tinder's approach of branding its users this way — labeling people with an accusation as grave as "commercial sexual services" without providing a single concrete piece of evidence or explanation. I no longer want any part of this platform and will never subscribe again. However, I equally refuse to let this false and damaging accusation stand against my name. I am demanding that Tinder retract this baseless and serious allegation and issue a clear, direct apology for what has been done.
