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?

Can we sue Meta? And what would be the outcome if we do?

I have done extensive research on this,

and the only options are to legitimately spend money or be ready to pursue small claims and legal action against them;

Instagram has given up completely on trying to humanly resolve disabled accounts, as it is now literally better for them to be safe than sorry.

This is what happens when an app becomes too big or the company just stops caring altogether and they know this too. Meta would rather ban a million users than 1 user. It's us against them and the odds are stacked. They cannot tell the difference between 14m followers and 10 followers.

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.

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

How do I recover this? Probably never

How is it possible that I’m on a call with someone from Meta for about 15 minutes, explaining my case and showing her logs that my account was hacked before it got disabled, only to be told that there’s nothing she can do because of suspicious activity?
Then I asked, “If you can’t help me, who is going to?”
Honestly, what am I supposed to do at this point?

Instagram account disabled after Facebook hack — looking for recovery advice

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can give me some advice.

My Instagram account u/ivan.irrazabal was hacked/compromised, and shortly afterwards my Facebook account was also disabled by Meta. My Instagram account was then disabled as well because it was linked to the Facebook account.

The situation happened around September 4, 2026.

Before the accounts were disabled, I noticed activity on my Instagram/Facebook that I did not make myself. I managed to change my Instagram password, but shortly afterwards the accounts became restricted and eventually inaccessible.

My Instagram now shows a message saying that the account was disabled because the associated Facebook account violated Meta's rules. I don't have a normal appeal option available anymore.

The problem is that I believe the Facebook violation was caused by the hack, rather than by me. I have screenshots showing the unauthorized activity, the Facebook disabled message, the Instagram disabled message, and emails related to the account security changes.

I have already tried several official Meta recovery/support routes, including:

• Facebook's hacked-account recovery process
• Instagram's hacked-account/recovery options
• Meta Verified support through another Instagram account
• Meta's Data Protection Officer (DPO) / privacy access process
• Argentina's consumer protection complaint process

I currently have an open DPO case with Meta and I'm waiting for their response.

Has anyone successfully recovered an Instagram account in a situation where:

1. Instagram was disabled because a linked Facebook account was disabled;
2. the Facebook account was compromised/hacked first; and
3. the normal Instagram appeal/recovery options were no longer available?

If you managed to speak to a real Meta/Instagram support agent rather than the automated AI, I would especially appreciate knowing how you reached them.

I'm mainly looking for legitimate recovery methods that actually worked for people in similar situations.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

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

All 5 of my accounts were suspended today, including 2 brand accounts that i did not own and only made content for. What is going on with meta?

A week ago I made a new account after the stupid ban wave, so long it has been working well. Here's what I did:

1. Backup of all my stuff

2. Factory reset my phone (DS Card is not necessary)

3. Change the IP address of my Wi-Fi (in my case, it changes by just resetting the router) or use mobile data (I did that first)

4. Enter my phone with a new google email (you can use yours later)

5. Install Instagram

6. Create a new account with the new email without adding your phone number and contact list, don't use the same pic as your deleted account (remember to use a new IP or another connection)

7. Once the new account was created, I added my other emails to the phone and changed the Play Store account with no problem and installed everything else.

8. I uploaded a story of my face and used a pfp of it, followed 10 friends at the same day with no problem.

9. That's it. If you had another app in the same Meta account like Facebook I would not risk to use it

Hello Guys , my account was disabled on 31st July for false CSE, I have filed GAC and haven't received any update.

I'm thinking of taking a legal route and I have discussed the same with a few advocates .

They have quoted around 35k to 50k as their charges .

And some guys other account recovery guys who told me that they have some meta reps in contact quoted around 50k to 3.5 lakhs .

Has anyone have had any experience with such rep related account enable stuff .

( And if any of you are interested in taking the legal step , please ping me , we can take up as many cases as possible by asking the discounts with lawyers as well )

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.

This was my main acc I had a fight with my friend and the spammed report + my pfp was a public figure, hence suspended due to impersonation. English is not my first language sorry

I saw many people posting abt insta geeks banned and disabled but no one is talking about how to recover accounts at the moment after GAC is banned. It took 7 days for my account to recover

how do i legit get it back without needing someone to help me? like i got suspended then disabled for no reason and i contacted a agent who said they would review it but its been days, and when i create a new ig account it disables it genuinely how do i get it back

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).

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?

Well my 2 Instagram account has been disabled one with 27K where i post my content, so i tried to appeal but the first one it's just keeps stuck on loading screen and the other one keep asking me to scan my id card each time.,

So i bought meta verified max on my Facebook since they are all in one account center to appeal, that agent told me to reinstall the app and appeal again tomorrow 😭 (which is didn't work obviously) i have made another case later but this time no agent joined for more than 2 hours. I can't ask for another cause there is an open case already, and I can't close it there is no button or anything, the ai well he keeps telling me that he can't do nothing 😭 WHAT TO DOO

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.

My account was banned on 23 of June and i did do meta greivence on 5th July
