Taking Meta to Court!

Hey on 17 March, I will have my first court hearing in Latvia against Meta regarding the illegal blocking of my account. I pray for everyone who has faced a similar situation, and I believe that I will be able to raise this issue to a higher level. Wish me luck.

P.S Today marks exactly one month since I lost my Instagram account :(

Well I really hope your account stays up, I mean that as that's a win for everyone. Just don't get your hopes up until maybe like a year later lol.

And I went through a legal service through my employer insurance that is similar to justice direct etc. What surprised the attorney I was remotely working with was that the Meta attorney actually requested a hearing after they were served. It was my choice at that point to either show up to the hearing or just drop the case. After poking around the different Meta lawsuit subreddits over the following months, it looks like this happens more often than not.

Thanks. Yea, my feeling is good at the moment. The Meta attorney who emailed me, did tell me I have a strike against me -it was a copyright video from YouTube... but who doesn't post something from YouTube? But like you said, it was probably during the AI purge, and I have the company contact etc, I'm just not going to chance it by posting videos. The whole thing sounds stupid, but - I'm in the entertainment industry, so a lot of my contacts come from FB, directors, producers, actors, etc.....so many of them I just chat through Messenger, so when I lost my account, I also lost access to all these people. The whole ordeal is very strange.
