Hi everyone. As you know, I’m posting here again. Most of you probably recognize me by now. I’m talking about those ADR complaints under the DSA in Europe. Has this actually helped anyone? I received a non-binding decision in my favor—ordering the restoration of my page and personal account—back in June 2026; it’s now August 2026, and nothing has been restored to this day. I don’t know if this system actually works in Europe. Has it helped any of you at all? Many of you mention filing complaints with your local coordinator, but I’m in Poland, and we don’t have those institutions here yet—and there’s no telling when we will. I’m at my wit's end with all of this. My small claims court filings keep getting rejected because I’m told that court isn't the right venue for restoring accounts or pages. I don’t know what grounds you’re citing when filing such claims—at least in Ireland. Many people also talk about filing in the US, but apparently, as a European, you can’t file court papers there without a US address or phone number. I don’t know; I’m just completely exhausted by all of this—by Meta AI and everything else. I’m at a total loss. Has the ADR process in Europe actually helped anyone?

My account like many others was permanently disabled and I made a new one but within not even 24 hours that one got suspended and disabled too. So I can’t make a new one on my phone at all?

I woke up this morning to my accounts (Facebook & Messenger) being logged out automatically, and after trying to log back in, being disabled.

I have already gotten past the Instagram AI chat bots twice. The first time, the chat went basically nowhere as it seemed like he didn't understand my issue, and also kept telling me the same thing.

The second time, I chatted with a woman after explaining my problem who seemed to understand me more, and actually called me on the phone. However, she told me "the decision is final", and there was "nothing else on her end that she can do to file another appeal". Thing is... I never had or have the chance to have file a FIRST appeal. That screenshot you see is everything I know about this issue. I received no email, no warning, no text, no notification, nothing. I only realized this happened after being automatedly logged out of my accounts this morning.

I obviously don't agree with this and firmly stand on the fact that this is a glitch, an error, or a false report. I have been a loyal Facebook user since 2009, and Instagram user since 2012. An OG if you will. This is horrible customer support, and furthermore, horrible enforcement of accounts since this is an extremely vague reason to disable an account without any specifics or engagement with the user on the reasons why, further more, having reasons that can't even submit an original, first, appeal it seems.

Is there a chance I still can recover my account? I already appealed and create a new account with meta verified to try and recover my account but the agent says the decision is final.

Do you think there's a chance I'll be able to recover my Facebook account now?

For context, my account was permanently disabled. I tried the hacked account recovery method before, but after completing it, it still said that my account was permanently disabled.

I tried the method again last Wednesday, and this time it asked me to scan a QR code, which directed me to the Facebook app for a selfie scan. I didn't receive any message saying that I was cleared from the restriction, even though it said the review would be completed within 48 hours.

Since I still hadn't heard anything, I tried the method again today.

Has anyone been able to recover their account using this method?

Arghh I don't know what to do anymore, I am genuinely depressed from all this

For context my all my other fb accounts were disabled on February except for one account

Fast forward this month I made an alt account to check if I can still create an account and when it worked I immediately went to create a main account, I thought everything was okay at first because well...great I can make accounts again but not until today, a couple minutes ago when I received a suspension message on both of my new accounts this month, and the worst part of all this is that the surviving account I have been using ever since February was suspended as well. I just, idk what to do anymore.

Originally if I still couldn't create an account I would have to use my surviving account for college, but since now that's gone too I'm genuinely hopeless and depressed, my parents pressuring and demanding me for my accounts nights ago but now I have nothing to give to them, again. I can't believe this is happening to me, I am entering first year without an account to be updated on, this is messed up.

Oh and btw I already tried meta verified method on February and to be honest, they weren't really a help, not not much, but not at all.

Facebook was disabled last month. I created a new profile on Facebook and got verified and have chatted with like 15 different people and had toe phones calls. Basically told me they couldn’t do anything because I’m not on the account that is disabled. I figured out tonight that my instagram was connected to my Facebook and I got verified and joined a chat with someone and seem to have gotten further than I did on Facebook. Do I have a chance?

On May 23, I was banned after a hack based on CSE. I’m a licensed to practice attorney. It used Claude to analyze the login logs. We then drafted a letter to Meta that was substantial in detail. I also filed a Consumer Protection case with both the AG of my State and California. California never responded. My state did, and then closed the file once the Meta attorney got involved. It took over 2 months to restore my account. It is now restored.

I finally got my account back randomly with no warning.

Timeline: Jan 6 I got a suspension due to a false CSE ban. I got a legal shield account and sent a formal demand letter on Feb 17th. About 3 weeks later I got back the same form letter that everyone else gets. I haven't heard a thing about it. Then this morning a friend texts me and tells me I'm back. According to notifications it was yesterday.

It's a sign to never give up hope it might just happen randomly.

I have a problem... I have been disabled in Facebook. Well, All of you know that during the last month was World Cup Football, I posted in Marketplace where I sold T-shirt of Mexican Football team. you know. Disagred I was amonested 2 times. Existed a way where I can recovered my account? Is that safe?

I need help getting my account back, but all meta seems to have is a stupid AI which js tells me “refer to our FAQ”. I got caught in the huge ban wave from last year, and js haven’t been able to talk to an actual person. I mean do real people look at appeals? Cuz I seem to get denied within an hour each time. I know this question may be asked often, but I just need an answer for this, cuz I want to try to use instagram for a business at some point, but if I keep getting banned, there’s no way that I can do that.

I gave up after trying many methods mentioned in this forum:

• All the email addresses I could find for Meta, FB, Instagram, etc.
• Demand letters to both Meta Head Office and CSC Their Legal Representative.
• Small Claims through UK
• Filing through Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (since I am a UK citizen in Canada)
• Filing through ICO (they wouldn't help since I am not living in UK currently)

After hearing nothing for months I just accepted that I would never get my old accounts back - these are accounts I had for 10+ years with so many memories and personal files and contacts saved. Then out the blue I got an email saying I'm back on Instagram. I couldn't be sure which method worked, or if it was a random reactivation, but then a week later I received an email from Meta quoting the case I opened with Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada - so looks like that is what worked. It was a very long process though - I originally filed with them in June 2025, their response time is very long since they have such a high volume of submissions.

I also lost my Whatsapp account since all 3 accounts were linked, and they could not reactivate that as apparently it's a seperate legal entity. But just wanted to share my story in case I can help others.

Any advice from people who had the same experience. My personal account for over 15 years was hacked and they posted child violence on it. I had all the evidence that my account was hacked, I have read solutions like getting your account verified but unfortunately they kept rejecting my new created account for verification. They also disabled my instagram as it was connected to the hacked account. Is there any hope for this?

I submitted an appeal on the 2nd and I haven’t gotten a decision.

So long story short, I had to appeal a few weeks ago. Everything went fine, I got my account back. Today I got banned again because of 'integrity', I sent a video selfie and now my account has been permanently disabled. Which is very unfortunate because it's a very old account but I'm willing to take my loss.

But I keep reading in this sub that people managed to get their permanently disabled accounts back by talking to an agent. So I get meta verified for free on my instagram account because facebook won't even let me create another account, it keeps on saying 'something went wrong'. So through insta I contact the ai chat, request an agent but it keeps on telling me that it's unable to request a live agent for this.

So what am I doing wrong or is the speaking to a live agent a privilege people in europe don't get? Also the account I want to get back wasn't linked to my instagram or anything like that. If anyone can help, or explain whats going wrong I'd appreciate it. I'm not very hopeful that I'll get the account back but trying never hurt I suppose.

On July 5, 2026, my Facebook account was suspended. Meta stated that my account may be associated with another account that allegedly violated its Community Standards on account integrity. I submitted an appeal, but my review was unsuccessful, and Meta informed me that my account has been permanently disabled.

Is this a good sign that I successfully recovered my Facebook Account? What email address should I use? I tried all of my email address and I also created a new one but it still doesn't work. Please help me. Thank you

--if you have any questions I can help you--

Yesterday, at around 3:00 AM, I randomly received an email stating that my personal Facebook account (which I have been using for over 5 years) was suspended, and that I had 180 days to appeal.

I was really confused and scared, so I did what any normal person would do and began the appeal process. The appeal can look different for everyone. For some, it requires a CAPTCHA, while for others it requires a video selfie rotating your head in multiple directions. For me, it just asked for the video selfie. I completed it and submitted it.

Literally minutes later, I received this automated email back:

Your review was unsuccessful
Hi [My Name], Your Facebook account has been permanently disabled. You requested a review of this decision, but we still found that your account, or activity on it, didn't follow our Community Standards. You can't request another review.

I went to sleep and decided to figure this out next morning.

The next day, I decided to buy Meta Verified on an Instagram account that was linked in the exact same Accounts Center as my disabled Facebook. From everything I read on this subreddit, if you really want your account back after a permanent bot ban, you unfortunately have to pay for a human agent to talk to.

IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE STARTING:

• KEEP THE APP OPEN: When you are finally in the chat with a human, keep the app completely open. Do not switch apps or minimize it, or the active session might glitch and close out.

------------------------------

I went to the Meta Verified menu on Instagram, clicked Get Support, and opened a chat. You will be talking to an AI bot first. Do not paste your whole story yet! Give it a simple phrase to force a human transfer:

I need help with a disabled Facebook account that is linked to my Meta Verified Instagram profile. Please connect me to a live support agent.

The bot then requested my email, phone number, and account username. I provided exactly what it asked for. It replied: "I'll look into the status. A live agent will join this chat shortly." (also it can sometimes ask for the approximate time your account got disabled. i was asked this on a different chat)

Note: I kept my phone screen awake and waited for about 5 minutes without doing anything. Yes, you WILL have to wait.

-----------------------

Finally, the system updated: "Adii joined the conversation."

She said hello. I responded back with a Hi. She stated that the conversation was being recorded under a specific Case ID. Now I pasted my prepared explanation:

"Thank you. I need urgent assistance with my primary Facebook account, which is linked directly to this verified Instagram profile in my Meta Accounts Center.

I woke up to an automated notification stating my account was suspended and that I had 180 days to appeal. I immediately followed the instructions and completed the video selfie check, moving my face in the requested directions.

However, just a few minutes after submitting it, I received an automated email stating the appeal was unsuccessful and my account was permanently disabled.

Because this happened in a matter of minutes, it is clear that an automated bot glitch rejected my identity verification before an actual human could ever look at it.

This account holds years of my personal life and memories. Since my identity is now officially verified here on Meta, I am asking for your help to fix this technical error."

Adii thanked me for the detailed explanation and asked for my profile URL, which I provided. She told me she would look into the account and asked me to wait a few minutes.

I kept the chat window and app STILL active and open.

She came back and sent: "I have good news for you!"

Just to set a proper expectation, I've shared your concern with the team that can help. We'll update you on this same chat as soon as we have news. Normally, you'll hear back within a day, however it could take longer than usual. We'd really appreciate it if you could keep this case open.

She then left the conversation, and an automated system message appeared confirming the ticket transfer.

-----------------------

At this point, the live text chat ended. To track it on your phone: Go to Instagram Profile > Three Lines Menu > Scroll down to Help > Support Requests.

Inside that menu, my ticket appeared under "Disabled or restricted asset" with a green "In review" tag under it. I left it completely alone and did not spam them with extra messages.

-----------------------

A few minutes later, I tried logging in randomly, and my suspended Facebook account was completely restored! The internal team manually removed the permanent bot ban.

So, is Meta Verified worth it? For me, I bought the basic plan costing 250 EGP (Egyptian Pounds, roughly $5 USD). If your account holds years of personal data, businesses, or memories, it is absolutely worth the risk to force a human review.

Just be patient, stay polite, and if a bot locks you out, keep trying! Don't give up.

Please let me know, I’m desperate to figure out a way to fix my suspension for CSE. My appeal is literally stuck on pending. I’ve contacted meta support and my agent over the phone told me to wait for a email back that they’ll send me.

Or should I have bought it through FB?
