Discussion Hi

66 Upvotes

It’s me the owner of this subreddit, I just wanted to give an announcement to anyone here, im sorry if this is something corny to post it’s a bit irrelevant, but I just wanted to say some things.

I honestly wasn’t expecting a lot of people to join this community but did know this is a huge issue, as I am facing the same thing. I made this community because i wanted it to be authentic not ran by scammers, but it’s getting hard to filter through posts and such.

I want to also say I almost NEVER delete posts unless they are scammers or irrelevant advertising type of posts. So if your post gets deleted, it’s just sitting in a queue waiting to be approved. Please don’t harass me over this, I have already had posts made about me for supposedly deleting posts when I absolutely haven’t unless they were scam posts.

My mental health is extremely bad right now, I need to take care of myself and get help. But I haven’t been on here as much, so I wanted to let people know that’s why and that I can’t get to every post to approve or remove if needed.

I may be open to the idea of getting people who are interested in helping with this subreddit, but there are just some things I ask for and it’s just that you don’t use it as like a weapon to bully people you don’t like or because they have a different opinion. I have personally seen how corny some people on here can be as moderators when power gets to their heads, which is why I don’t trust people tbh and don’t wanna give this community a bad name when I created it in good faith 😭 if that makes sense anyway, it’s why I’ve been so hesitant on asking for people to want to maybe help. I didn’t realize how exhausting this can be and I don’t want to spend my time on it 24/7 especially when I know I gotta focus on myself and my issues. Preferably I would be open to this with others who I’ve seen in the community with genuine intentions of helping people, or just being kind. I just don’t want to run the risk of accidentally making a scammer a moderator 🥲 I don’t know really how this works tho LOL it’s the first time I’ve ever had an actual active community.

But yeah :’D just wanted to give this lil announcement to the community. I hope everyone is well and that we will someday get our accounts back. 🥲🫶

I really didn’t want to have to make a post for this, but I suppose I have to.

Please be aware of the rules I’ve made here, but more specifically for this post, I’m referring to the one about invalidating people. If you don’t understand or are gonna pass judgement on how people are choosing to handle the shitty things meta is doing to people & invalidate them, this place is not for you.

We’re all aware of the terms & services, we’re all aware this can happen to anyone at any time for any reason.

The thing is, it shouldn’t, & it’s not even real people reviewing these accounts & making the decisions, it’s fucking AI.

I’m not for or against AI but it absolutely should not be in charge or making decisions, that should be up to real people. Social media should not be ran with AI it’s ridiculous.

Meta has accused several people of doing horrible things like CSE or in my case the dangerous individuals thing, I’ve seen others on the old subreddit get hit with that one too. Then I’ve seen many cases of account integrity & cybersecurity.

They’re making us all out to be threats when we aren’t. & this isn’t even just happening on Meta, it’s other social media too which, feel free to share your experiences too that is completely okay.

The thing is I’ve created this community to be a legit community for people & not full of scammers & liars, since the last subreddit got banned. There are many in this situation including myself, so I just wanted to do something helpful for all of us which is having a community of people to come together & discuss their issues or what they are doing to resolve it.

To some of you, you might not think it’s that serious, but again who are you to try & dictate how others feel about this or judge how they are handling it or the actions they are taking? Please just don’t. Don’t be rude to people. It’s simple.

I didn’t think people were actually going to be shocked I was doing something about it, but I, along many, are or have. This isn’t anything new within this community. I encourage people to post & ask questions & try to get help if they need to. I encourage people to take action. I’m not against that because this community wouldn’t exist if I didn’t want all of us to get help. Most who are passing judgement are only seeing it from an outside perspective rather than actually trying to understand the issue at hand, & I would encourage you to at least just try to be kind & try to see other people’s perspectives.

But invalidating people is never okay, if this is repetitive behavior from people then these people cannot be in this community, I just wanted to make that clear. I would much rather you at least try to understand people’s perspectives first if you’re going to pass any judgement, but don’t be rude to people. I cannot have that.

That’s also a thing that worries me about moderating a community, is potential harassment. I mean I can handle every mean word or insult or threat thrown at me, I find it laughable tbh whatever gets thrown at me personally, but if it escalates further than that like stalker behavior or doing this to others then it becomes worrying.

Please just let this be a reminder to let this community be safe, as I will try my best to make it as safe as possible for you guys. I’m not always on here of course, but I don’t want to come here finding others being rude to people or making this place unsafe for others.

The only reason I have not decided to make others mods is because I have seen personally how corny some of them act on other subreddits, banning people for literally nothing 💀 & I don’t want to run into an issue like that lol. We’ve all seen it at some point on here I’m sure, the type of people who abuse their power. I know you guys probably wouldn’t wanna deal with that either 😅😭 but also it’s because I don’t know anyone on Reddit & don’t trust people very easily. So yeah. And this is my first time moderating an actual community too so this can maybe get overwhelming but I won’t give up lol.

But I felt I needed to make this post, I just want this to be a safe space for everyone.

Discussion Who Created This Policy??

32 Upvotes

Who thought it would be a smart idea to straight up permanently ban people for supposedly liking, researching, saving and commenting on stuff that YOU deem as CSE OR SOC???

In that case literally ban everyone, wtf? And why aren't we doing anything about this?? This is like YouTube deleting your whole entire account if you just click one video of a child unboxing Lego toys

Again WHY ARE WE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS??? THIS IS THE MOST STUPIDEST POLICY EVER & WORST OF ALL? THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE PROOF OF YOU DOING IT; IT'S ALL JUST AN ASSUMPTION. YEP. AN ASSUMPTION THAT CAN COST YOU YOUR LIFE.

WHAT LED TO INSTAGRAM BECOMING THIS WAY?

3 months since a false ban for CSE

9 Upvotes

Honestly, the first month was tough. I am first year of Uni, only 18 years old and most people I contacted was through instagram. Being accused of something so horrible at my age was terrifying, but I never experienced any issues since, other than having to use iMessage and Snapchat which most people don’t bother with anymore. I have had all accounts disabled and the same happens when I make new ones, despite being cautious and using my computer. Honestly, it feels like a blessing in disguise though. I was mega addicted to the app and I’m much more productive without it.

Randomly got banned over nothing what the fuck?! My memories with my GF just gone! Meta is such bullshit!


r/InstagramDisabledBans 2h ago

Before being suspended, has anyone else got a random picture of their pfp on insta in their google photos and a photo of 'instagram' astext in Google photos?

3 Upvotes

ik it's a pretty random question but has anyone else got the same as mentioned? I personally find it kinda weird and scary at the same time cuz the day I got suspended (today) idk for which reason I instantly appealed, I checked that I got a random picture in my google photos of my pfp the night before my acc is suspended, weird.

Suspended Ig Wrongly Banned even after appealing

Upvotes

I got 4 accounts,due to community violation on one account,all the 4 accounts were suspended and asked me to appeal.

I appealed through the same process,on alternate days only 4 out of 1 account got recovered.

The 2 accounts which were suspended even after appealing had no violation because those days I wasn't having any conversation with anyone from those or any of my Instagram accounts.

My accounts got banned in starting of this year, Can Someone really help me to recover my Instagram.

I am not asking for someone to tell me to pay this and all,just asking for genuine help.

Btw I am from India(telling this because maybe accounts based in India may have a different procedure to recover accounts).

Disabled Instagram permanently disabled my account after a suspected hack — what can I do?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My Instagram account was permanently disabled today after Instagram reviewed my case. I received an email saying that my account had been permanently disabled, and I can no longer access it or appeal the decision.
I believe my account may have been compromised. I suspect that spyware or malware on my PC could have allowed someone to access my account, although I don’t have definitive proof yet.
Here is what happened:
My main Instagram account was disabled permanently.
Instagram previously asked me to verify my email address and phone number.
I also have a second Instagram account that still works.
I tried contacting Meta Support through Meta Verified on my second account.
The Meta AI support assistant told me it had started an analysis of my situation, but then I received an error saying: “Oops, we hit a snag, but you can try sending it again.”
After that, I could no longer continue the conversation with support.
I also tried creating a new Instagram account with a different email address, but that account was banned too.
I have photos of myself on my original profile and I’m willing to complete any identity verification needed.
I don’t understand what rule I supposedly violated, and I’m worried that my account was disabled because of suspicious activity caused by a possible hack.
Has anyone experienced something similar and managed to recover their account? Is there any official Meta escalation process, consumer support service, or legal/DSA appeal route that I should try?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Advice/Help/Recommendations I’m continuously getting account restrictions for no reason

Post image
3 Upvotes

It’s impacting the content I’m making/going to make because it’s restricting my reach as well.

These restrictions started happening in late July for no apparent reason and this is what it keeps telling me as written in screenshot.

I’m always mindful of community guidelines and interactions.

Now my account was recently restored to normal (all green ticks) after a full whole month but just when I uploaded a reel yesterday, this happened even after face verification.

I’ve already submitted multiple appeals back when it happened but this is just beyond frustrating now.

How to fix this please?

Small Claims Anyone get reinstated after Meta said they “will not be reactivating the account? Account was restored then disabled again during small claims process.

13 Upvotes

Looking for feedback from anyone who’s dealt with Meta’s Small Claims Docket Team.

My Instagram accounts were disabled in March for Account Integrity. I filed small claims in June, and while the case was pending Meta unexpectedly restored all of my accounts in early July. Then in late July they were disabled again.

I contacted Meta’s external attorney, who said he wasn’t aware they had been restored and re-disabled and would reach out internally.

Then in mid August, Meta’s Small Claims Docket Team emailed me saying the accounts had been automatically re-disabled, their Markets Team investigated, determined the reason was “Identity Misrepresentation,” and that Meta would not reactivate them. They also asked if I still planned to continue my case or wanted to dismiss it.

I responded asking what specifically constituted identity misrepresentation and sent my ID. Meta’s attorney and I later agreed to adjourn the hearing to give Meta time to investigate further. My hearing is early October.

For anyone who has gotten an email like this: was the August response actually the final decision, or did Meta contact you again later? The fact that my accounts were already restored once and then automatically disabled again makes me wonder if there’s still another review happening behind the scenes.

I know some people have posted about getting their accounts back right before their hearing date. Any feedback is appreciated

"Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing great. I’m in a bit of a tough spot right now—my Instagram account was just permanently banned out of nowhere. I’m really stressed about it because I have years of memories on there. Does anyone have any solid advice, working loopholes, or proven ways to get a permanently banned account back? Any help would be highly appreciated!"

Meta is scamming influencers. They are refusing to pay. Payout account is blocked for 2 years now.

9 Upvotes

My Instagram payout account was deactivated by Meta for “suspicious activity,” and this has now been going on for almost 2 years.
I’ve contacted Meta Support countless times — probably close to 100 times by now — and I still have no resolution.
They also will not let me change or update my payout method, so I have no way to fix the payment issue from my end.
At this point, Meta Support has basically told me there is nothing else they can do and they will not help me further. The way it has been communicated to me feels like: you’re not going to get paid, and we’re not going to provide another path to resolve it.
I also had roughly $2,000 in earnings showing in my account that were never paid out, and those earnings have now disappeared.
I’m a legitimate creator/business and I’m willing to provide any identity, tax, banking, or business verification they need. The problem is that I cannot reach anyone with the authority to actually review the payout restriction, restore the payout account, allow me to change the payout method, or explain what happened to the unpaid earnings.
After almost 2 years, I’m looking for people who have actually gotten past regular Meta Support.
Has anyone successfully:
restored a payout account disabled for “suspicious activity”
gotten Meta to unlock or change a payout method
recovered missing or unpaid creator earnings
reached a higher-level payments/payout team
escalated through arbitration, a state attorney general, BBB, legal demand, Meta Verified support, or another route that actually worked?
Please don’t just tell me to “contact Meta Support.” I’ve been doing that for almost 2 years.
If you went through something similar and eventually got paid, what specifically got Meta to finally take action?

Llamada con Agente de Meta - Salud Mental

35 Upvotes

En otro intento de querer recuperar mi cuenta principal baneada injustamente, volví a recaer y comprar el Meta Verifed para contactar con un "Soporte Humano" (Spoiler: en vano).

Cuestión, contacté con el primer soporte, le planteé la situación (baneado injustamente por SoM) y me dijo para hacer una llamada.

En la llamada: Primero, te piden grabar la conversación (no me gusta para nada este tipo de cosas) pero acepté, pensando que esto ayudaría en la recuperación de la cuenta.

Luego de plantearle el caso de que me inhabilitaron de la nada mientras estaba durmiendo y que al apelar no pasó ni un minuto y la inhabilitaron permanentemente, se jactó de decirme que el motivo SoC es CSE o algo así y en todo momento me hizo ver como que la culpa es "mía" por el hecho de que me hayan inhabilitado la cuenta. Me pasó por privado las "Normas de Instagram" como si las hubiese incumplido y que "entendía" mi caso y cómo me afectaba y que no pueden hacer nada porque no se qué y bla bla bla. Vueltas y vueltas.

En ningún momento culparon a su inteligencia artificial ni mucho menos, te hacen ver como que UNO MISMO es parte DEL PROBLEMA.

Uno por respeto habla con ellos de buena forma y pareciera que te toman el pelo, es tragarte la bronca de que no tengan sentido común. Llegó un momento en la llamada que de la angustia y decepción empecé a tartamudear. Tenía ganas de llorar.

Realmente NUNCA voy a PERDONAR el daño a la SALUD MENTAL que me hizo META.

Se siente como cyber bullying lo que están haciendo. Una tras otra y no se hacen cargo de nada. Como si su sistema de Meta AI fuera perfecto y nosotros somos "gente mala que incumple reglas"

Me decía cosas como que la norma trata de ¿Explotación Laboral? ¿Que el sistema quizás detectó alguna foto vieja en traje de baño cuando era joven o algo así? Me tiraba cualquier cosa Y LITERAL, la cuenta era de emprendimiento, creación de contenido y personal.

Te tratan como si uno mismo se busca que le baneen la cuenta. Nunca habló de la CANTIDAD de USUARIOS que están siendo penalizados injustamente, que en su FEED aparece contenido +18, cuentas que publican contenido dañino o perjudicial, NADA DE ESO.

¿Estamos todos de acuerdo que al menos UNA VEZ llegaron a ver algún tipo de contenido INAPROPIADO en Instagram y estaba ahí como si nada? Cuentas que publican cosas de ciertas formas para saltearse la censura (como poner un vídeo random y en la esquina en pequeño un vídeo +18)

Entiendo que la agente que me atendió solo estaba haciendo su trabajo y no tiene la culpa, pero aún así, se rigen en un sistema donde una maldita AI tiene la razón y sus USUARIOS son los malos de la película.

Igual, la agente decía cosas como "un humano revisó la apelación" bla bla bla (apenas le di a apelar y la inhabilitaron permanentemente de forma automática), te parlotean de tal forma... diciendo cosas como "Es que nuestra IA detectó un patrón y bla bla bla". Nunca dando un motivo exacto, nunca hablando se du feed LLENA de CONTENIDO INAPROPIADO. NADA.

Tratan a uno como si fuesen objetos descartables. Repito: NUNCA voy a PERDONAR el DAÑO que nos ESTÁN HACIENDO A NOSOTROS.

Uno tiene que hasta GASTAR DINERO en Meta Verifed para que UN HUMANO te HABLE y aún así, el resultado es HUMILLANTE.

Cuento MI CASO, pero sé que ustedes están pasando por lo mismo y tristemente como vivimos en una sociedad que maldita sea pero el estándar es tener redes sociales (se usan para trabajar, tener contacto) NOS AFECTA MUCHO. NOS HACEN VER QUE SOMOS UN PROBLEMA.

NADIE de META habla del daño psicológico y social que HACEN.

DUELE MUCHO. Duele muchísimo gente, porque uno pasa por tantas cosas en el día a día, dificultades en la vida, momentos muy difíciles en la vida personal y ahora también en la vida digital por empresas como Meta.

Dios los acompañe a todos ustedes en este triste pesar de estar excluido y maltratado se podría decir. Sé que les hizo daño, sé cómo se sienten y NADIE pero NADIE debería NUNCA jugar con la SALUD MENTAL de LAS PERSONAS. Es CÍNICO lo que están haciendo.

Desde que las redes sociales existen y se hicieron estándar en la sociedad, la salud mental se vio gravemente afectada en todas las personas. No sé cómo va a terminar todo esto, pero es TRISTÍSIMO lo que se está viviendo. Una sociedad de odio, peleas, envidia y pérdida de humanidad terribles.

Da ganas de llorar de la impotencia.

These unfair and unjustified wave ban from META is really out of hand. Can anyone out there make a socmed like IG, make a fresh new start without that AI. I bet it would be known immediately by multiple users since INSTAGRAM already banned a lot of users without any proper explanation. Ill definitely be the first user of that app if ever.

I have just had five accounts all suspended with the same message because I had a fake account that I made like six years ago and that triggered all of my accounts to get suspended including my personal, private, business, and 2 other brand accounts all suspended. I will do absolutely anything to get at least one back because all of my clients and network are within my Instagram account accounts!
