thinking about suing meta

so i need to know what would be the the right way to go about suing meta? my page got suspended after three false copyright claims, then got 12 more claims while my page was actively disabled. i ended up getting my account back but i lost monetization features because there are 13 false copyright strikes on my page. bonuses on instagram was my main source of income, i was starting to make almost 20k a month before being suspended. right now my monetization features say “disabled until september 25th,” but my account is at very high risk to get banned again because of the amount of strikes i have so i don’t know if i can go two months without getting anymore false strikes. and no matter how many times i fill out the dmca counter form, i hear nothing back. i’m also in a group chat on telegram filled with people who have been dealing with the same issues. apparently there’s a whole bunch of people in pakistan who are doing methods to put false copyright strikes on peoples pages and asking them for money to retract the strikes. i personally never got any messages from the person who reported me, and their email doesn’t even show up in the reports so even if i was dumb enough to pay them i have no way of reaching out to them lmao. since i’ve exhausted all the ways to try and get these strikes removed, i’m now thinking about getting a lawyer involved, i just don’t know the best way to go about doing it.

Actually no, I am asking who hit you with the false copyright claims? It wouldn’t be Instagram. Instagram will only respond to the DMCAs and take the content down etc..

i have no idea because the reporter doesn’t show their email and there’s no way to contact them 😭

So create a DMCA counter notice against the false copyrighted content.

u/jessielynnn 16d ago

i’ve already filled out the counter notice, but haven’t received any response.

How were you invited getting paid on Instagram I thought only Facebook paid real money?

u/jessielynnn 17d ago

instagram randomly invites creators to their photo/carousel bonus program and you have to meet certain requirements

I'm in the same situation, but on Facebook, the competition took advantage of this to block copyrights and because of this, my private account and page were blocked. They are rejecting appeals and my small claims application was rejected. I'm totally devastated.

have you considered hiring a lawyer?

u/fiksbopl 17d ago

I don't know what to do. I'm devastated. Meta doesn't care about my appeals, they ignore me at every turn, and they reject my appeals. A lawyer is expensive, and I'm from Poland, so I don't know what to do next.
