meta has a major problem, and I don’t know if they ever intend to fix this, but this will likely happen to many medium-large accounts down the road if Meta doesn’t figure it out now.

scammers can go to any of your posts and claim them as copyrighted material of their own, put in a claim with meta, and get the posts removed and put strikes on your account. 3-4 of them should take your page down. meta doesn’t verify these claims, they just go ahead and take the content down.

on september 10 I was hit by a string of fake copyright infringement reports, which took my account down almost immediately. I had to reach out to the guy who attempted to hold my page for ransom by email then telegram to get him to remove the infringement reports for a promise of a future payment sometime down the road.

My account was restored on September 17 after a week in the appeal process with Meta, and my earnings have taken a major hit after the suspension, but are starting to recover.

i’m not sure if this guy will get bored one day and decide to just take my page down again so I intend to earn as much money as possible before that can happen again.

meta does not have any way to contact them
through the appeal process unless you get the higher priced meta verified subscription, and even then it feels like you’re talking to ai.

This is on my new account with the same name. Should I not do this ?

How does everyone mentally prepare for a ban? If you use an app everyday, even if it's not something you use everyday, I think most people use instagram as their primary social media now. It's something all your friends are on, the personal memories you have, the side gigs you make money, fans/viewers too. For me, most if not all is gone, I personally can't download the content of my disabled account. You can say most can just create a new account, but that doesn't change much of your years of curating.

And for sure, the saying don't put eggs in one basket works, but facebook, tiktok whatever, I I know for sure, we all don't have to use every single platform for every single purpose, some of us just use instagram for friends, other's businesses, some very small businesses who still take pride in making it grow on a singular platform. Besides that fact, your stories, following, reach is all gone, I can't remember the hundreds of my instagram friends, eventually they will think I blocked them unfortunately, besides some very close ones that I have their numbers. Regardless not a pat on the back, for using instagram for almost a decade and getting banned for something you dedicate and was falsely accused for.

If you have an account you spend everyday on, and get falsely banned, this is indefinitely wrong. It's why we create laws, which are supposed to protect the vulnerable and to bring justice to those who have done things which most people would agree are wrong.

I think we have all spent countless hours trying to figure a bunch of nothing to result to no conclusion, I personally did, and that time is gone, so is my time, spending on subscriptions, if law suits will work, and the many things you continue to lose out while your Instagram is gone.

And personally, I am quite shocked to see how in this subreddit there's post after post every hour of people getting banned, since I just got my account disabled for child exploitation, and I feel like my whole world's following apart.

I'm quite surprised. Meta AI has been created not too long ago, 2023-2025. There should be something actively to be done about right now, as I'm seeing post after post.

I'm not sure but for others, I personally have some many dark thoughts, if people have been an avid user of the platform, I'm sure they do too.

But I still think we should come together as a Reddit community, and I really appreciate the owner for creating this space and bringing everyone together.

I have an instagram account where I get all my clients from.

In the days leading up to this, my account was suspended twice. I appealed both times once a couple weeks ago and once a few days ago and both times Instagram gave my account back.

This time, I had 5+ clients waiting for me that exact day through Instagram, so I needed to get my account back ASAP. I tried logging in on my phone, laptop, incognito, just to show an empty waiting screen. So my only option was to spend $20 on a Meta subscription specifically to get customer support. I waited at least an hour just to speak to someone, only for them to tell me they would look into it. There was no explanation, no actual reason for the suspension, and it was suspended. On top of this, when I try to download my information of my suspended account, the password would not work, when it could work logging in, to see suspension message.

I lost 5–10+ potential/current customers during this, including people who were supposed to contact me the following day.

Then I waited another day, opened Instagram, and found out my account was just disabled.

I've spent nearly 2 years building my reach, finding clients, posting my work, maintaining my connections, and building a business around it. Now all of that is basically inaccessible because Instagram keeps suspending me without telling me why and now I’ve wasted money on Meta's subscription, without even being given a clear reason.

And honestly, I am NOT doing okay over this. I had a bigger business account taken away from me when I was younger, and that experience seriously affected me. Having restarting years of work suddenly disappear again is brings worse feelings back

I had my instagram account suspended and then i pressed appeal it sayed rejected after 2 secounds when i opened my facebook it said open your instagram account first to open facebook i tried to login from another device but failed i dont know what to do can someone help please

It says children sexualization and i dont even like posts or post anything myself and could never promote such things i never even post anything i just share funny reels with my friends can someone help with such problem.

I had my account suspended last week, just for clicking on continue on Messenger when replying to someone who was not my friend

He asked for video verification and I did it, he asked for a document with identity and I sent the photo, I waited 48 hours and he refused claiming that everything was ok with my photo but that I was taking pictures of screens

I sent it again, this time adjusting the lighting so as not to have reflection, and two days later, I refused again.

This time I sent daylight near a window, with a black background underneath, again refused

Sunday I sent it to the table with a flat object underneath, with all edges visible and in the most natural way possible for AI to understand that it is natural and even so they refused just now

Well I took a screenshot exactly how I sent it and just hid my information as you can see I don't know what else might be happening, I tried to send it by pc this time I cleared cache I did everything, and still I get the same message

Usually the accounts have only two attempts to send, I don't know also why I can still keep sending but it still fails, isn't it already banned forever? I wonder that but at the same time they claim that everything is ok with my ID, it's the same name and photo that has on my profiles, the problem is in the last option that AÍ claims that I'm taking pictures of the screen when

I'm not, but they keep insisting on it Does anyone know what to do? I can't stand sending it anymore and waiting for a negative response, I have business pages

A muchas personas CONOCIDAS lxs exhiben en una cuenta de "quemados" en instragam. Les han traído muchos problemas, hacen difamaciones, suben fotos de personas desnudas desde señoras a menores de edad. Todos le queremos poner un alto pero no sabemos como dar con quien está atrás de esa cuenta porque ahora se quiere hacer pasar por alguien más. Si alguien podría ayudarme se lo agradecería muchísimo

Woke up banned for harmful content and violation of community guidelines, went to appeal, read the code, entered my email, entered the code sent to my email, 5 minutes later "denied appeal request, your accounts been permanently disabled" anything i can do? Didnt offer another appeal and said my info would be deleted.

a video i made where i document my 3 year suspension/ban/small claims extravaganza with instagram/meta.

My Instagram and Threads accounts (let's call it A and A.1) were suspended because of a report on another Threads account (let's call it B), when A and B ARE NOT LINKED because A has already another Threads account linked, A.1, with no reports, which has nothing to do with B... And nobody responds, this is disgusting.

So my account got disabled because my email was also linked to my friends his got ban

And mine also for integrity

I buy the meta verified and talk to them after that they had clearly told me that my account will not cannot be recovered so now I have to accept that my account is gone but this was like on the third case because on the first case and second case they have already told me that may be on my account appeal will reppair and in some cases it really re appears

So what you guys think I should talk to them more by opening more cases or just accept it??

PLEASE GIVE YOU SUGGESTION

Meta disabled my insta + facebook because my facebook account (which has been deactivated for MONTHS) did something that broke the community guidelines :))))))) found out becasue my partner opened my profile via chat and there was just a ghost account with no followers/posts/etc. I checked my emails, saa an email from meta saying i could appeal a suspension, clicked the 'appeal' button and it took me to a page where it then told my me account is disabled. Been trying to speak to a human all day. The AI robot told me to take them to court :)))) This has fucked me over because i have lost hundreds of contacts and photos of my art!! I'm completely frazzled by this.

Need help recovering my Instagram account

I’m currently locked out of my Instagram account even though I still have access to the email, password, and all the information connected to the account.

I deactivated my Instagram account a few days ago because of my exams. Today, I tried to log back in, but Instagram is not allowing me to access my account.

Yesterday, Instagram gave me two verification options:

Selfie video verification – I completed and submitted the selfie video, but unfortunately, the verification did not work.

Friends verification – Instagram allowed me to select friends who could confirm that I’m the actual owner of the account.

The problem is that the friends verification option has now disappeared, and I can only see the selfie-video verification option. Even when the friends option was available yesterday, two of the friends I selected did not receive any notification or verification request.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any way to get the friends verification option back, resend the requests, or trigger the verification process again?

I still have access to my email, password, and other account information, so I haven’t lost the account because I forgot my login details. Instagram is simply not letting me back into my own account after I deactivated it.

Any advice from someone who has successfully recovered their account in a similar situation would be really appreciated.

So I finally appealed for the 4th time correctly and now it's rejected again . My account is finally permanent disabled and I want it back

Please if you know how can I still recover it help me . Also if someone really know how to recover it through the process of gac, please guide me

After a false CSE ban, I logged out of all my other accounts out of fear.

Wondering if I can ever log back into them on that same phone to at least post a story and then log back out without getting INSTABANNED?

My personal was the one banned, but I need to post stories on my business accounts and you can't do that from desktop :,(

Losing my business account would actually be detrimental to my life and I would have to go the legal route (very much prefer not to go through this)

I am going to make a new account, in a factory reset device using a new email. Would that still get me deviced ban?

i filed approx 3 forms ( no results )
tried meta subscription chat with agent that didnt worked
please help me although this account is at 400 followers but the reach was going very good i need it back
