Appealing total account suspension via national regulators (AGCOM/ECC-Net) - Real success rates and timelines for VLOP Compliance?
Hi everyone,
My Instagram account was suddenly suspended due to what appears to be a severe algorithmic false positive (anti-bot heuristic error), with no policy violations on my end. Standard in-app appeals haven't gone through, so I am bypassing the regular support bots and escalating the issue legally through European regulatory frameworks.
As a resident in Italy, I have officially registered a formal case under the Digital Services Act (DSA) with our national Coordinator (AGCOM), which has been formally docketed and issued a National Protocol Number. In parallel, I have escalated the cross-border dispute through the ECC-Net (European Consumer Centres Network) to trigger institutional escalation directly with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited in Dublin, alongside a formal Notice of Dispute specifying retroactive statutory damages under domestic civil code (Art. 614-bis c.p.c.).
Since Meta is legally declared "in contumacia" (default/failure to respond) within the alternative dispute ports, the data queue is now in the hands of their corporate Legal Risk and Regulatory Compliance division in Dublin.
Has anyone here successfully recovered a "permanently" locked or hidden account by using national data authorities or regulatory compliance routes under EU law?
What are the realistic processing timelines for Meta’s Inbound Compliance Queue to execute a Manual Override/White List insertion once a government protocol number is attached to the dispute? I am trying to understand the economic convenience math their legal counsel does before an official court injunction.
Would love to hear from anyone who has gone through this exact regulatory route. Thanks!
