The track contained this comment from Werner Herzog about the jungle and feature his ambivalent conflict with nature:We are writing to you today to let you know that your account has been permanently removed on the grounds of being dedicated to violating our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines which state:

So I replied back two times, linked the Werner Herzog comment on Youtube, quoted it’s text (wich contains some buzz words of course) and asked for a review. The answer (04:22 on Friday) was a reference to their first mail:
After this my last reply last friday got a bit harsh ; )Here at SoundCloud we uphold the safety of users as a top priority, and recognise the users’ freedom of speech and expression, thus we always strive to be fair and objective in our decision making.
Your account has been taken down for objectionable content, and after further review we have deemed your account to be in breach of our Terms of Use. Your account will remain suspended and when an account is terminated for violating these terms, your account, tracks, followers and stats are removed from our platform and you are permanently banned from returning to SoundCloud.
For more information on the which terms were breached, please refer to our previous email.
Please note that SoundCloud reserves the right to suspend any accounts immediately without prior warning that we believe to be dedicated to violating activity.
In 2018 I had a refused track wich I tried to upload two times but even if SC is summing up such cases the point here is elsewhere.can you please respond to the questionable content? There is simply no content which would be able to breach your Terms of Use in any objectionable way.
The used content contains a kind of philosophical comment from Werner Herzog to the jungle and feature his ambivalent conflict with nature. Your AI instance was obviously triggered f.i. by the word “collective murder” and took an unsupervised decision without taking attention to the context (I quoted the text in my last reply). It’s decision based obviously on a misinterpretation, it seems that it’s just comparing bad words. This is so obviously a faulty behavior of AI so can you please let a human employe take a look on it.
I built up my account over several years and in the face of it’s scope it may not be important for you to invest some human attention to this case but this is such an absurd example of bad algorithms that I wanna give you the opportunity to reflect this before making it public.
Does anyone experienced such surprises here?
Btw: my track is still available on Youtube (no, this shouldn't be a strange promo):
