Here is the response I received today:

Microsoft disabled access to the account due to a serious violation of the Microsoft Services Agreement: https://www.microsoft.com/servicesag..._codeOfConduct.
As stated in the Microsoft Services Agreement, you will no longer be able to access any Services that require a Microsoft account.
For any subscriptions associated with the account, Microsoft will immediately cease charging the credit card on file for recurring charges.

Hmmmm. I read the code of conduct and have asked them to show me where and what exactly I did to "violate" it.... What a joke it is that they can get away with this...... Socialism at its best

How strong was your password and how often do you change it? That account information will have been harvested many many times over twenty years. My son at 11 had his Comcast account hacked and they made me jump through ridiculous hoops to get it unlocked. I don't think he was putting out right wing propaganda on Minecraft or whatever he played back then.
If you enter your address in this site, it will let you know how many times it has been harvested. Similar algorithm Google uses for its password check.

Perhaps you are so far left you assume he was my buddy ; )

True. And once you get your account back set up Multi Factor Authentication so you are promoted for an additional token if your account is accessed from another device.
