For instance, let’s say there’s a troll who is infamous online to the point multiple people are chronicling the troll’s numerous antics.

The troll in question lies about everything about themselves. Their name is an alias, they admitted to using an AI generated voice while trying to get away with passing it off as their own. They steal women’s selfies to pretend to be another person. This is just a few examples, but this troll has gotten posts exposing them taken down because the posts reveal personal information, but if the personal information is fake to begin with, is that against the rules on most sites?

Edit: assuming all the info came from the troll’s posts, that is publicly available.

    The mods/admins were fooled by the troll who took the troll’s manipulation that they’re a victim of slander and doxing.

      Okay, so you’re not questioning policy of admins/mods, but pointing out your belief they followed the policy except they acted with bad information from the troll?

      If that’s the case, I don’t think you have a pathway unless there is an appeals process. Have you engaged the admins/mods in question to see what evidence (if any) they would need to reconsider their decision?
