I am not certain this is the actual problem though. It is not about misclassification. It is about the underlying system.
Would you argue that a person accused of crime X should be told nothing about the nature of their transgression? To me it sounds very problematic.

Would you be willing to live in society that has a legal system that works like this?

Some times you might have done/said something bad according to the context of a particular culture or rules of a particular platform (and even inflicted some actual harm or danger on somebody this way) but have no idea what, even after re-reading the rules.
I have been banned from a couple of forums/groups and I really have no clue about what might be the reasons but I don't insist there were none.

You suppose that a bad actor at one point will always stay a bad actor in the future.

How exactly does it help when Facebook tells a bad actor what
part of the publicly available guidelines were violated?
Why can't Facebook just have a hotline/chat that can verify a user's identity and tell them more, preferrable in less than 5 months of spamming their email?
And in the case of a permanent ban the user should at least be able to download all their account data; this feature is already implemented for compliance with GDPR anyway and the online platform wouldn't lose anything by at least not making pictures etc. inaccessible forever.

And how do you propose to unilaterally and absolutely define what a "bad actor" is?

How you differentiate, I dunno. That's the problem.
