This is what I'm worried about, to be honest. Not necessarily getting hacked but just getting flagged, banned and burned with no recourse.
This is why I commented on an article here some weeks ago that if they ever offered any paid user experience they'd be in trouble because they'd actually have to help their users with their issues.
These tech companies should offer actual support the moment you spend money with them with some actual recourse to solve problems, especially if it's caused by them. It's insane to me that they can just go and run away with your money or burn your account at a moment's notice, even when it's just some automated filter going crazy. At the bare minimum something like Amazon has should be the standard the moment you operate a paid digital software repository or sell a digital service or ads. Losing your investment should not happen to you unless you're a really blatant abuser and if you're the one getting abused your bank or credit card provider should never be your only line of defense.
I'm baffled that they have not been in any real conflict over this with any consumer protection agency for any of our governments.

Flipping this, if this were a paying advertiser (customer) that got locked out, there probably is a valid path to contact someone. Looks like it is time to remove all my Single Sign On from Google, Facebook, GitHub etc. And have individual user/pass for all of them. I have the same fear as you and way more so after reading this article, just way too much risk now.

Facebook has offered a paid user experience to Oculus users for several years now, and so far no one has forced them to actually help users with these issues. Not the market, not regulators, and certainly not users. They will keep getting away with it simply because they can. What are you going to do about it?
