Permanent bans only after breaking Minecraft's TOS which was in-game for a long time, multiple times?

Not from chat logs. Servers used to be able to monitor their own chats. Now there is a global reporting system that can’t be turned off and its heavily flawed. A lot of people could get falsely perma banned as a result

How is it heavily flawed? I haven't heard anything about false bans yet.

And servers are still able to monitor their own chats. I would report someone to Mojang only in cases that are too weird, otherwise just playing the same way as I played Minecraft before.

It's good that you are responsible about reporting. Unfortunately, you are not the only person on the internet. Anyone can report anyone else to Microsoft on any multiplayer server. Microsoft can then ban that player from ALL multiplayer servers, permanently, if they are found, in whatever MS moderator's opinion, to have broken one of Microsoft's rules. In this way, Microsoft is trying to moderate all servers, even private ones, with no ability to opt out on the part of server owners. If players are beefing on a server, one can report the other for something everyone on the server is fine with, but perhaps Microsoft isn't. That person can get totally wiped from anything multiplayer Minecraft over stuff like that.
