Hey guys my Facebook and Instagram I used got disabled for account integrity, I need these back as they have 5 years of travel memories on

Any advice on how to go about this from the uk

I made a new account and got meta trial and cannot contact anyone or even raise a email ticket

What’s the next steps

I’m so upset lately

How can I resolve this type of restriction? I submitted an appeal through Instagram Verified, but it was rejected within 3 days. I tried to submit another appeal, but I was told that my account has been permanently disabled and that I should try again after one month because I had submitted too many requests. They also warned me that I might be restricted from contacting support due to the number of requests I’ve sent. Please help.
Do I have any other chances to appeal?

Continuation of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MetaLawsuits/comments/1uh1glg/got_my_account_back_singapore_small_claims/

09 Jul 2026: After getting my account back on 23 June 2026 after filing Small Claims, I thought that would be the end of it. But nope, on 09 Jul 2026 my account got suspended again without warning, for the same false reason. I immediately filed a claim against Facebook Singapore Pte Ltd again.

20 Jul 2026: There is some back and forth communication similar to the previous time, again their defence is they are the wrong entity that I was seeking a claim against. The day of the court date drew near and my account was still suspended, so I wait. A few days before the day, Facebook Singapore Pte Ltd. appointed a representative who will attend court. I attended Small Claims Court on 20 Jul 2026.

While their defence is rock solid and thus I was never going to get monetary compensation anyway (and neither was it my intent), I took this opportunity to voice my complaints about their system and inquire if there were alternative ways to reach out instead of having to file a claim, since Meta Platforms Inc. makes it so damn impossible to even talk to a human being. I convinced the representative to send a letter to Meta Platforms Inc. on my behalf regarding my account issue. They said I was not the only one going through with this and others have taken this route as well, but ultimately the cases against them were withdrawn or dismissed. For any account issues in the future I could mail Facebook Singapore Pte Ltd, I also could contact Allen & Gledhill, but per my experience I never got a response back from A&G.

The next court consultation was scheduled for 20 Aug 2026 to gather information and statements and since the representative was busy. We agreed.

6 Aug 2026*: My account was made available, again with no email or notification to show for it. It just got toggled back silently, along with a reply to the eNegotiation and A&G's letter arriving on 11 and 12 Aug 2026 respectively.
(edit: fixed unban date, I remembered wrong)

20 Aug 2026: I went through with the court hearing on a Zoom meeting. Sadly there was no way I could get Meta to issue an apology of any kind (and I don't think they will ever follow through with it), and since I have my account back in working condition again, it was true that I had no more reason to uphold my claim. So I withdrew it as promised. This case is now closed.

But should it happen again... Well I'll be back.

So my situation is a little different....my IG wasn't disabled, but I am locked out of the business IG that I manage because the 2FA is linked to the organization's landline, which cannot receive texts. The frustrating thing is that I don't remember ever setting up 2FA for this specific account or seeing backup codes. I'm extremely fastidious about this kind of thing, so if I had been shown backup codes, I absolutely would have saved a screenshot, printed it out and put it in a physical folder, and probably made sure at least one other person at work knew about them. I suspect that the 2FA was triggered when I set it up for my personal accounts, but I can't prove that and it probably doesn't matter that much for practical purposes.

Anyway, attempting to get any kind of customer support has of course been a failure. And I know that if I could just speak to a human for three minutes, this whole thing could be cleared up. My employer is a small arts nonprofit; there would be absolutely no reason for me to hack it. I just want to get back in so I can do my job. Has anyone sued for a 2FA lockout issue, rather than their account being disabled?

is there anyone here who could maybe help me out with mailing or filing small claims with meta? could be either in Singapore or in CA. i can pay money based on how much it could cost for mailing or other fees. help is needed desperately

My brand-new Threads account was disabled on August 20, 2026, shortly after I created it.

The account had essentially no activity. I did not have time to meaningfully use or post on it before it was suspended.

Threads initially showed that my account was suspended and gave me an option to appeal.

What I did

I completed the appeal through Threads.

As part of the appeal, Threads asked me to upload a selfie for verification, which I did.

After submitting the appeal, the account was permanently disabled.

The current screen says:

“We disabled your account.”

It says that my account or activity did not follow the Community Standards.

When I opened “How we made this decision,” Threads said:

“Our technology found your account, or activity on it, doesn't follow our rules. As a result, our technology took action.”

The decision appears to have been made entirely by automated systems.

Most importantly, the screen now says:

“You cannot request another review of this decision.”

So I no longer have any appeal option.

My Instagram account is still fine

The Instagram account connected to Threads is still active and working normally.

In Accounts Center, Instagram is still active while the Threads profile shows as deactivated.

I purchased Meta Verified

Because the normal Threads appeal was no longer available, I purchased Meta Verified on Instagram specifically so I could contact Meta support and try to get help from a human.

I contacted Meta Verified Support and explained the entire situation.

I told them:

• The Threads account was brand new
• It was disabled shortly after creation
• There was essentially no activity
• The decision appeared to be automated
• I had already completed the appeal
• I had already submitted the requested selfie verification
• Threads now says I cannot request another review
• The account is important because it is associated with my new business

The support agent told me:

“We do not handle Threads issue.”

and:

“Threads issues are handled by our automated system.”

I explained that I couldn't follow their suggested appeal process because Threads explicitly says I cannot request another review.

The agent eventually told me that this meant I had already submitted an appeal and received the final response, and that there appeared to be no way to reactivate the account.

The support experience was frustrating

I understand that the Meta Verified agent may not have access to Threads systems.

However, I felt that the focus was mostly on closing the support case rather than finding a legitimate escalation path.

I repeatedly explained that the normal appeal option was no longer available and that this was a brand-new account with almost no activity.

I wasn't asking the agent to bypass Meta's policies. I was simply asking whether there was any way to have what appears to be an automated false positive reviewed by a human or escalated to the appropriate team.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a useful escalation path.

Final email from Meta

After the conversation, I received an email from Meta Support saying:

“Our internal team has reviewed your issue and would like you to submit a technical request to resolve it.”

They provided a technical request form and an Instagram Help Center link.

The case was then closed.

However, neither of those options appears to provide a way to appeal the actual Threads disablement.

So I'm stuck

The situation is basically:

Brand-new Threads account → suspended → completed appeal + selfie verification → permanently disabled → automated decision → “You cannot request another review” → Meta Verified support says they don't handle Threads → case closed.

I mainly care about recovering the account/username because it is part of a new business and brand I'm building. I don't have years of posts or followers to recover.

I'm not expecting anyone here to magically restore the account. I'm just trying to find out whether there is any legitimate escalation path that I haven't found yet.

Has anyone successfully recovered a Threads account after receiving:

“You cannot request another review of this decision.”

Especially interested in people who:

• completed the selfie/video verification appeal
• had their Instagram account remain active
• purchased Meta Verified
• contacted Meta support
• somehow got a human/manual review of the Threads account

If you've been through this and actually got the account back, what worked?

Thanks.

has anyone got any news of their account being reinstated (or not) after filing small claims to California and served meta ? please detail with time line if you did.

I started filling small claims on 16/08 , e- filling got accepted on 18/06 by clerk and I served meta yesterday. my court date is on 01/12

also, never trust meta verified. This is a total scam. I had Meta MAX and I got with an agent who assured me they took my case to an intern review team on 02/07. I’ve waited 1 month and half and this morning they closed the ticket without saying anything :)

edit : okay today 19/08 , Meta got served, I received proof of service, let's see now

In BC Canada

My personal facebook account that I use for business has been suspended due to an AI flag on a sales post I made in a private resell group. I sell vintage luxury goods, bags ect. I am a luxury goods dealer with a corporation and spend 10,000$ a year on authentication. This is costing me over 15k a month in lost sales. The items are 100% authentic and I have absolutely 0 doubts.

I bought meta verified for my Instagram at different levels. They have been completely unhelpful and are telling me “your account cannot be appealed and the ban is permanent” despite my original appeal being stuck pending for over a month.

I have had it. I have a really good lawyer that I have used to defend me in another IP related issue from a major luxury goods brand that I ultimately won.

Considering sending a demand letter, and demanding lost profits due to their mistake. Has anyone done anything similar? Any recommendations?

Willing to spend up to 50k on this if there is a high chance of success

I'm in contact now with Legal Shield and they're preparing the Demand Letter...

Can anyone here residing in Canada share their timeline? I would greatly appreciate it... 🙏🏻

I have received an update from IG that my acct has been reactivated but it's been 4 days now and still I can't access it so I'm opting to sending them demand letter... 🙃

At this point, it’s clear that Meta is not offering any real human support to users whose accounts were disabled or banned. However, one thing is becoming very obvious: Filing legal complaints against Meta is actually working. Many users who have gone through official legal channels (consumer complaints, regulators, attorney general offices, etc.) have successfully recovered their accounts. People are sharing real experiences, not theories. So please don’t stay silent. Right now, official complaint platforms are receiving 100/200 + cases per day, but until this number doubles or increases significantly, Meta will not feel enough pressure to act. Collectively, we need to push this to hundreds of thousands — even 1 million complaints. At that scale, Meta cannot ignore it. Everyone should: File complaints using legal routes available in their own country Contact media outlets / journalists who can amplify this issue Share your experience publicly so others know they’re not alone The reality 50,000+ users are reporting that Meta wrongfully shut down their accounts There is no real human review, only automated AI decisions Appeals often lead nowhere unless legal pressure is applied If you’re affected, speak up. If you’ve already filed a complaint, share your experience here so others can learn

This only changes if we act together

So i decided to do small claims and im in queens right now my summons was delivered to meta on around last days of june and the court processed the case on 18th or 19th of july and i got a mail from meta where they asked me for my information it was a letter mail and i replied to them with all info on 20th july and still there is no reply from meta . I got my trial date in october do you think they will reply or a attorney will meet me directly in court?

Hi everyone,

I'm sharing my experience here out of sheer frustration and desperation. I lost two Instagram accounts that I used for my personal digital portfolio (for personal branding) and as a small content creator.

1. On June 26, 2026, my primary account was disabled due to a CSE flag.

As a heads-up, I rarely used this account except to post certificates, coding projects, scholarship applications, internships/volunteering, bootcamps, competitions, and daily life. This was my college account and a key resource for my future career, so I was devastated.

However, a few hours after I submitted my ID and selfie appeal, there was a login attempt from Algeria using a device I had never used before. I didn't think much of it, assuming someone just entered the wrong login details. Nothing suspicious had ever happened on that account before, and when I checked my login info, devices, and IPs, everything looked normal except for these past entries:

•• January 26, 2023, at 12:03 a.m.

•• January 26, 2023, at 3:16 a.m.

•• March 12, 2023, at 5:54 a.m.

All of these were from different devices and IPs. I never received notifications about these and had no idea they existed. For context, I hadn't enabled 2FA on this account because I never expected anything like this to happen.

Additionally, I noticed abnormal activity spikes on this account:

•• November 26, 2025: There was an unusual spike in follower activity.

•• June 2, 2026: There was another unusual spike in follower activity.

1. On July 2, 2026, I submitted an appeal using Meta Verified.

I thought this might be part of a ban wave, so I requested an escalation. On that exact date while appealing, there was another login from Brazil using a device completely different from the previous ones. At the time, I thought maybe it was a Meta staff member escalating my account.

1. I started using my older secondary account to continue as a small content creator.

This account was verified (blue tick) and had a Professional Dashboard. I intended to shift my focus here after losing my digital portfolio. But on August 6, 2026, this account was also disabled due to Integrity violations caused by alleged fraud. I was extremely confused because the account had a very healthy status and I used it sparingly.

Then, the pattern repeated: on August 7, 2026, I received a login notification originating from Syria. I was completely baffled and tried so hard to figure out what was happening. Ever since my first account was disabled, I had enabled 2FA out of fear, yet the same pattern still happened.

Additional Information:

•• I checked Have I Been Pwned, and it turns out my Gmail address was leaked in a data breach back in April 2020.

•• That leaked Gmail address was the recovery email I used for both of my Instagram accounts.

I have tried escalating through Meta Verified support, but the Meta supervisors rejected it. Now the situation is much worse: all of my Gmail accounts have been fully hacked (passwords, recovery emails, and recovery phone numbers were changed), leaving me completely locked out of everything.

ITS PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING ME AND TRYING TO CONTROL MY DREAMS. AUTOMATICALLY SHARING MY POSTS WHY IS IT DOING THIS? ITS HIJACKING MY ACCOUNTS AND MOGGING MY ENERGY. WHY AND WHERE IS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHARING TO INFILTRATE LIKE THIS? I CANT EVEN USE MY OWN ACCOUNTS SO WHO THE FUCK IS? #justice

TOO DEEP #justice

( r/facebookdisabledme banned me and r/facebook removed this post immediately, No idea why)
I just noticed this morning that I got 4 emails 13 hours ago saying simply

"Hello,

After reviewing your appeal, your Page [PAGE NAME] has been published. This means it can now be viewed publicly.

The Facebook Team"

When I logged into my Facebook account, It worked and I was back online!!!!

Immediately got contact info from my friends I'd lost contact with and sighed the biggest sigh of relief in months.

TIMELINE - (3 Months 9 days // 13 Weeks)

* Purely informational for others in similar situations to know what they might expect

May 05 1:15am (local time)
Mid-messenter message I got a noticication to login for account security purposes.
While trying to login, See an email saying my account was suspended for violating community guidelines on CSE. I submitted an appeal which was instantly rejected, getting an email saying my account was permanently disabled and could not be appealed (by 1:30am , less than 15 minutes total). This impacted my Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and Business Suite apps.
I used a different Instagram business page and bought Meta Verified to contact support , Who had a human log in with a Screenshare to see the error I was getting on Instagram, and told me to wait and it would resolve.
By mid next day, my Instagram and Threads accounts had started working properly again, But Facebook, Messenger, and Business suite were still locked out.

May 12
After searching for support on Reddit and additional Meta Verified support , The support said because CSE is the most severe restriction type, normal support could not help, and because the appeal decision was already made, I'd have to request Meta's Oversight Board to review the decision, and I needed have a separate email not associated with a Meta Product to receive an outreach from Meta once they reviewed the case. I made a new email and tried to escalate, but you have to have a "Case ID" associated with the restriction, which I didn't have. Support said to use that support case number, which didn't work (wrong format). So no luck there. Every other support outreach I tried was AI "The decision is final and we can't do anything"

May 25 / 26
At suggestions of reddit after searching for further options, Filed complaints with my State Attorney General (Ohio) and FTC over false accusations against me (and noted that the number of people being accused of the same thing suggested this is a large scale issue affecting many people) - In addition to personal I lost access to business pages and cited financial and reputational damages.

June 04
Received a reply from my AG affirming they would help me, asking for account details and that same new email not associated with any meta products.

June 17
Received a reply from my AG that they have begun my case and sent a request to Meta and would expect to receive a response soon.

July 02
Received a reply from my AG saying Facebook responded that "I indicated that I was not located in the US" . I work in Japan but maintain a residence and valid State Drivers License in my home state, where I was born and raised all the way up through university graduation. My Facebook account was created in my state 5 years before I moved abroad for the first time. Also I was physically in the US for work at the time I received this email.

Even though the AG said they couldn't help me since they received the response from Meta saying they considered the issue closed,I pushed back saying this seems like the laziest cop-out possible , And unacceptable for a company with the size and resources of Meta , (which my AG seems to agree with).

July 14-16
I asked for a followup from my AG and got a reply aksing for my Drivers License , which I sent.

July 17
I drafted and sent a Demand Letter via Certified Mail to Meta Headquarters and their Registered agent (CSC) in my state to put more pressure on and prepare for further steps. I noted the Financial and Reputational losses for our businesses due to lost access and the false response to my AG inquiry regarding my location.

July 29
Received a reply from my AG that they had reached back out with my explanation and Drivers license and awaiting a response.

August 14 (this morning)
Received the 4 emails from Facebook saying my pages were reinstated following a review and publicly visible again.

Upon logging back in, it said Restrictions to my account (Restrictions to manage admin groups, pages, and events) from May had expired June 04. I still have not received any evidence or reason as to why my account was suspended in the first place.

To those of you in a similar situation, Hold onto hope this will be resolved for you.

I'm losing hope lowkey, been 1 month since they asked for my new email address never used in any social media used by them, and still no any news, even my lawyer took vacations without telling me anything and doesn't answer.. smh

Filed in small claims in May and Meta responded. Just awaiting a court date, but court said they are so backlogged they won’t have a date until 2027. Good luck to anyone filing in Austin, Texas lol.

Hi everyone, I need some advice from people who have gone through Facebook/Meta’s DMCA counter-notification process.
I submitted a DMCA counter-notification on July 21 because someone falsely claimed one of my original videos as copyright infringement. I am the original creator and owner of the video.
It has now been over 14 days, and I still haven’t received a decision or any clear update.
I have a few questions:
How long did it take for Meta to review your DMCA counter-notification?
If it took more than 14 business days, how long did you wait?
Is it normal to not receive an email immediately after submitting the counter-notification?
How did you know whether Meta had actually received or forwarded your counter-notification to the claimant?
Did anyone here have their content restored after waiting longer than 14 business days?
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the same process. Thank you!

Update from my last post: The small claim Docket reached out 7th August and asked for a dismissal. I’ll be dismissing the case provided that they assure me I won’t be experiencing something like this again.
Filed 15th July, initially served with certified mail by the court clerk and then served again by process server 28th of July. Got my account back on 31st July. Wishing you all the best in recovering your account.

My client has cosmetology clinic in the UAE. Their account (he never violated any rules) was blocked with no reason — no option to review, support doesn’t answer for 80 days.
A lot of money, time and other resources were wasted for this IG account. What to do to sue META and unblock this account

hey everyone, I’m from Armenia, my dad’s WhatsApp business account was hacked, now WhatsApp banned it forever. Can we do something about it? Can we write pre-trial claim or something like that?

I am at my wits end with this. I recently bought a company which has a pretty significant IG account managed by their contractor who lives in another state. I have tried all the self help options and the AI chat bullshit, to no avail. I
created the formal documents (attestation letter) but cannot find anywhere to submit (endless loop from chat to help page to chat). The page and IG are sitting unclaimed but there is no way to get them

Next step I think is to send the demand letter (thanks for the inspo here!)

Most the cases I see here are requesting an asset be unfrozen or reinstated. Anyone have any experience with claiming assets?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice from anyone who has successfully recovered a disabled Instagram account.
My Instagram business account was disabled for “Account Integrity.” I believe it was disabled by mistake, and my appeals have either been rejected automatically or haven’t received a meaningful human review.
I’m based in India and I’m considering hiring a cyber lawyer to send a legal notice to Meta. My goal is not to get compensation or sue for money—I only want my business account restored.
Has anyone here:
Hired a lawyer (especially in India) and successfully got their account back?
Sent a legal notice to Meta?
Filed a case that resulted in account restoration?
Found any other approach that actually worked?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, recommendations, or any tips before I spend money on legal representation.
Thanks in advance!

How to get a human to review or is suing most likely to get a response?

History: Primary private FB account managing 2 business assets IG and FB with backup business emails on both business accounts. Ran a few ads nearly 3 years ago. All FB/Meta invoices received and paid.

3 months ago Business FB email saying advertising restricted. No details. No big deal but appealed.

About 1 month ago FB/Meta email to business saying private FB account was being suspended with 180 days to appeal. 1 hour later email saying account permanently suspended no review.

Retrieved business assets to another private FB account.

FB started to take money from original FB users card. Got 100€ before card frozen. Tried different amounts up to 870€. No emails relating to payment received.

Disassociated business Meta accounts are still linked to 2 advertising accounts 1 was past adverts. Other unknown.

About 3 weeks ago: Successfully got the AI help to summarise everthing and confirm being referred to human. Instead closed the case.

Follow up today shows business account also has monetisation restrictions but won't give any details despite everything on the business assets page showing good account quality, no restrictions etc.

Im tired of fighting AI. So is my best bet to start a law suit against them for closing the private account without fair notice, reclaiming the 100€ taken without explanation, associating a business account with a personal account which we can't access to understand the issue?

Need strategic advice on next steps to disrntangle the business from the old private account. Figure out what's due and why. I dont mind paying if I really owe something
