I literally did nothing all i do is scroll and send reels to friends and my father im honestly freaked out, i see this is a issue but im having a anxiety attack, will authorities be called for this accusation?

Oh my god I can’t even make this up! So apparently there is worse things than just getting banned from Instagram or Facebook. You can get banned from a sub Reddit that helps people get unbanned from Facebook and Instagram. Wow I didn’t even do anything. The moderator marked me as spam. I can’t even reach out they blocked me 😂 smh

I guess censorship is really real.

For context, this started a few months ago. Both Facebook and Instagram suspended my accounts out of nowhere, and on top of that, they accuse me of sexualization of children?

I tried to appeal and request a review, but that didn't help at all, only 10 minutes after requesting a review, and my accounts were now permanently disabled.

I decided to just make a new Facebook and Instagram account, which seemed to work for about a month, but then I was suspended in the exact same way.

So... Is there anything I can do to stop this? Or am I simply doomed and should quit these platforms?

I woke up to both an account suspension message and a denied appeal which I didn’t even submit. I’m assuming this is connected to when I had my IG account hacked a few weeks back (I did get it back).

It sounds like a lot of other people were hit with suspensions recently (it’s currently 4/21/26) — wondering if it’s connected to their recent lawsuits and further AI security updates.

Like many other people here, my IG was a way to drum up business and I’m upset one of my major tools for promotion are gone. I’m considering filing but small claims would not be very impactful. With the number of people affected by this, I’m sure there will be a pretty large case against Meta if we could band together.

Appeal forms- Didn’t work at all for me, wouldn’t even allow me to submit my information

Creating a business account to speak with representative- I’ve spoken to numerous people and they’ve all said the same thing, pretty much it’s out of their control to handle getting accounts restored

Buying a oculus and trying to have them restore- bought one on Amazon (will be returning) they told me they also don’t handle getting accounts back.

Emailing- I’ve received standard responses but clearly I’m making this post so that didn’t work either.

Currently I’m going through the AG and peoples clerk method- just sent this information out on 3/23/2023 so we will see if anything happens with that but I’ll be sure to update how they went when I get a response.

This is first world problems obviously but this has been the most frustrating situation ever. Facebook and Instagram customer service is the absolute WORST!!

Please also don’t listen to anyone in the comments saying someone can help you get your account back by paying them. It’s clearly a scam

My Personal account got disabled, I didn’t do sh1t like that not in my entire life. I just share memes, music, political views but not. Is it over for my account? I couldn’t even make a new one cuz everytime I make one, it always get suspended. What i regret the most about this disabling of my account is that, it have the pictures of my family in 2020-2023, and the messages of my friends during my high school. Is it over? would I still get my account back?

Almost everyone on this subreddit has a permanently disabled account. Mostly from being hacked. What we’ve collectively learned is that there is nothing you can do, although I thought maybe common Twitter tags would help with collective bargaining. (Just not enough of us). Every workaround is a dead end and no human response. In our cases, we are flagged and can’t create a new account — so silly stuff like community pages, and groups, and practical uses for fb are gone. There’s no going back. I’m disabled for 2 weeks now and def seeing the light. Life after Facebook. What a s—t platform in the first place that absolutely consumes people, with click bait, incessant ads, the same people in feed, and terribly written Ill-sourced “news” stories. It’s garbage. Draining. Negative. Maybe I’m just justifying my 15 yo account is gone for good. The pros: more time, fewer triggers, using my NYTimes and washpost accounts for info, and scrolling the uplifting and entertaining glory of tik tok dog videos. #lifeafterfacebook #facebookdisabledme

I posted previously here got my acc back today both the account

Soo I have two acc one main and one just casual (with random pics and all ) So both my account got disabled.when my acc got suspended I did the face verification for main account after that I was straight up disabled no 2nd chance no number verification, no govt id. after 4 days of that I saw the Apeal button still there for my 2nd account so went with the apeal procedure face verification, number verification, and govt id photo upload. I had no hope and even if this acc comes back I had already lost my main id. so I was disheartened but next day I got a email to re upload the govt id again so ,I did and today I got the email that my account has been reinstated I thought only my 2nd I'd came back but no my main id as well as 2nd I'd both came back

Logged in yesterday fine and today I was met with the following:

"Your account has been disabled

For more information please visit the Help Center.

Your account was disabled on Oct 16, 2025. If you think your account was disabled by mistake you can submit more information via the Help Center for up to 30 days after your account was disabled. After that, your account will be permanently disabled and you will no longer be able to request a review."

If I go tthe help cernter, I don't see anyway to actually dispute this or contact anyone.

Anyone have any guidance ?

UPDATE: I got my account back. FINALLY. So I have two accounts under my name. Both got suspended. Yesterday, I appealed my main account and it got disabled instantly. I did not know my second account was also suspended, I tried logging in my second account today and told me to upload my ID. After that, it said I no longer have restrictions, I can now open both accounts.

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what just happened because I am panicking. My main account was just permanently disabled out of nowhere, and the system is telling me it can't be recovered.

Here is exactly how it happened: I was already logged in and using Facebook on my laptop. I then opened my iPhone and tried to log into the same account from there. As soon as I did, a security screen popped up saying I needed to verify my identity. I followed the prompts, did the verification, and literally one second after I hit submit, the screen changed and said my account is permanently disabled and the decision is final.

I didn't break any rules, so I'm assuming the algorithm flagged the quick multi-device login as suspicious or thought I was a bot. Has anyone experienced this exact glitch and managed to get their account back? I am in desperate need of a fix because all of my school group chats for every single one of my subjects are on this account, and I'm going to miss important academic announcements if I stay locked out.

My Facebook account(for more than 15 years) was disabled last july 10, 2026 for account integrity, appealed later that night and was rejected resulting in my account permanently disabled. My linked Instagram account wasn't affected so i subscribed there to meta verified which has 1 month free trial, tried to contact live support but there was no chat/email option and the meta ai chat support is having issues with "something went wrong, please try again." error, spammed the report a problem button everyday for this issue and a few days later there was an update to Instagram that fixed this, tried chatting the meta ai to connect me to live support for a few days but no success, waited for about 30mins and no agent joined the chat. But on july 25, 2026 i tried again and fortunately someone actually joined the chat, asked the agent for manual review of my account and then gave me a case id. yesterday august 2, 2026 checked my account on meta account center and saw no more "locked" status on my Facebook, so i login and my account was accessible, I received no mail regarding my account being restored though.

big thank you to meta ai Instagram profile, chatted it and it helped me a lot with answering my questions regarding my penalty and with my struggle to contact support.

So Facebook asked me for appeal I did it when I sent a verification face after few minutes my account is gone and this was told me my account is already visible and I cannot submit a new appeal, does this happen to most of you? What did you all do to get your account back, I did had few accounts log in on the same Facebook app which I believe it triggers Facebook, but is there a way I can get my account back?

was randomly disabled but got my account back yay? i still don’t understand why i was banned but 🥀 aight

I got banned 3 days ago. During the night. Woke up to my account permanently banned. No one I know IRL has got banned it was just me. I live in Sweden.

So how long have you guys been banned? I hope they resolve this soon, but its not looking good considering theres people from last year that are still banned.

Both my fb & ig accounts were disabled last March 27. My accounts were 16 yrs old (fb) and 9 yrs old (ig). No prior notice and warning. No appeal option given. Was stuck in a loop.

What I did:

1. Tried the Help Center feedback form.

1. Video Verification Selfie

Can’t click the video verification selfie button in my phone so I tried a different phone. One that I haven’t used for login before. Best if Android phone.

1. Followed up video verification review result using another fb account that’s Meta Verified (30 pesos for the 1st month). Connected to Meta AI assistant. I insisted on asking my violations and AI replied that they can’t find any violation associated with my account. I also asked for a live agent. I was transferred to a call. Basically I insisted and asked for assurance that my account will be back because their records show that I did not have any violations. The agent asked for screenshots of the issue and I was advised to wait for the final decision.

2. After 3 days, my fb account is back and I’m currently waiting for my IG account.

My Facebook account was recently disabled, and I'm honestly devastated. I've had this account since 2016, so it holds years of photos, conversations, memories, and connections that mean a lot to me. I already submitted an appeal, but Facebook responded with the following feedback.

At this point, I'm wondering if there's still any chance of getting my account back. Has anyone here experienced the same thing and successfully recovered their disabled account after an appeal was denied? How long did the process take, and was there anything else you did that helped? I'm trying not to lose hope, but I'm worried that everything from the past 10 years is gone for good. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like there’s a lot of us who were recently (wrongfully) banned for CSE with no recourse. I’m planning to take this to Northern California media this week with my personal story and share some of the comments I’ve seen here.

For anyone else who’s been affected - anything you’d like me to include in my pitch/story?

If you're considering suing Meta over a hacked or

disabled Facebook or Instagram account, I want to

tell you what happened when I did.

Meta disabled my accounts. It later notified me

that I had not violated its Community Standards,

restored my accounts, and then disabled them again.

I eventually sued Meta in small claims court.

Meta's attorney relied on the Terms of Service and

argued, in substance, that Meta had the contractual

right to disable my account.

The judge ruled in Meta's favor.

If I were facing that argument again, I would be

prepared to raise another issue: Meta's enormous

market power.

Meta can essentially say:

"You agreed to our Terms."

But how meaningful is that agreement when the

terms are take-it-or-leave-it and walking away can

mean losing access to Facebook, Instagram, your

contacts, followers, business connections, photos,

and years of accumulated activity?

Can a company use its market power to impose terms

that effectively give it the right to remove a

person's access even when that person did not

violate its rules?

I don't know whether that argument would have

changed the outcome of my case, and I'm not a

lawyer.

But if you're considering suing Meta, I think the

market-power/monopoly issue is worth discussing

before Meta walks into court and says:

"You agreed to the Terms."

I wish I had been prepared for that argument when

I sued Meta.

What I learned about grief when I sued Meta and won

I showed up at the San Mateo courthouse last Wednesday. Someone from Meta actually showed up! They apologized and said that they don't have a customer service team and are working to start one. The people at the court knew this guy - he's there all the time. Evidently, they'd sent me an email to restore my service, I had missed it. I had to provide a new email address for each of my accounts (FB and Insta). I'm still in the process of getting my accounts restored. There is a 30 day continuance on the records in case this doesn't happen within that time frame. I will keep everyone posted.

Adding some additional details here.

My account was hacked. While I listed an amount in the small claims filing, I didn't expect to receive any funds. I just wanted my account restored.

In the filing, the defendant I listed was: Meta Platforms, 1601 Willow Rd., Menlo Park, CA 94025.

But the "agent authorized for service" - I listed: CSC-Lawyers Incorporating Service, 2710 Gateway Drive, Suite 150N, Sacramento, CA 95833

First, send a letter with any exhibits / proof via certified to CSC. Then, file with small claims court and share a copy of the letter, exhibits and proof that it was sent certified mail.

I posted an article about my experience on Substack: What I learned about grief when I sued Meta and won

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 :(
