It probably wasn't checking names, but only text in the body of a comment.
I am enjoying all these wacky conspiracy theories just based on having 1 or 2 comments removed. TikTok is not designing some magical program to detect and ban depending on which way you lean politically. No, this is a case of halon's razor rearing it's ugly head. It's simply a poorly designed filter algorithm that punishes the wrong individuals in a lot of cases. A filter only works as it's pre-configured to do so. You just happened to be the apple that triggered it this time. Find out why, then you can be a troll like him without getting punished for it.
