I'm an Iranian-American and Coinbase did something very similar to me in 2017. Here is the notice they sent me: https://i.imgur.com/xnJe0kd.png
We were very convinced it was name/ethnically based as I hadn't been to Iran for a few years before. The general counsel at my last job sent a strongly worded email suggesting they may have been using names to do this (thanks AA!). The email quickly resulted in my account being reinstated without any commentary on their methodology.
