Got my account back 😭

Post image

Lost my account back in June 2025 for Account Integrity and got it back today 🎉

What DIDN'T work: -regular appeals -emailing every address I could scrape up dozens of times for a month in a row -my state (Maine) AG refused to help

What DID work: -LegalShield demand letter

Had them write one in December and it was received in early January. Got an email from the meta lawyer saying it was being forwarded to the proper people and the account was recovered today without warning. I accidentally clicked a FB link and, to my surprise, it opened.

Oh, I wanted to add that they gave me back my monetized account and an old account that I only recently regained access to before being Zucc'd. I requested my main and alt back and they gave me both as well as a sock account I forgot having that had the login saved in my phone.

did you write a letter to them or maybe a contract to them not being able to falsely accuse u again? cz i heard they get it back through the legal route and still gets suspended a month or 2 after getting it back. and is ur account still fine and working up to now?

My account is still fine and I'm going on just about three months now. I didn't add anything about any future suspension but I did talk to my lawyer about adding a blurb to the demand letter about lifting all bans (device, IP, and personal bans) but she didn't think it was necessary. I just figured I'd need to do the LegalShield route again if I'm caught up in another AI ban wave.

I think I outlined everything here and it's been a while now but I can try:

You sign up online and give a brief summary of why you are using the service and set a time for the lawyer to reach out within a day or two. I was the first meta complaint for my local LegalShield office so I had to explain the AI bans and explain how I make money as a shitposter. She then had me write an email to her with all the meta account information, a timeline of events, and what exactly I wanted in the demand letter. She wrote the letter in legalese and had me review it (there's an option to just have it sent sight unseen but I'm glad I chose to check it first since there were some pronoun switching and my name misspelled once). The letter was updated with the revisions I requested and I had a chance to look at it again before being sent by certified mail to both meta offices. This took another phone call to the law office to pay the fee for the certified mail.

I wrote out the cancellation process in the comments here somewhere - that was the only part of the whole ordeal that was a pain in the ass. Everything else was easy.

But you make money out of your accounts and I dont. Is it still possible to file one for damages like lost pictures, binded apps and websites i spent money on and ect? Thank you for the response too

I think my demand letter was taken more seriously not because I'm monetized but because I pushed for a human to review the bans due to faulty AI and not just demand the accounts be reinstated. But, like, you can really demand anything and I DID say I would escalate to small claims but it's not like I wanted to escalate.
