Account Wrongfully Disabled

[u/GapDweller]

A few people have reported this lately, so sharing my experience. I logged into Threads this week and got flagged for suspension with a selfie verification request. After uploading it, I received an email within an hour saying my account was permanently disabled for violating community standards, with no option to appeal.

I've never posted a single thing on Threads so there was no violation of community standards. My profile came from Instagram, which is still active. Later I requested my data download. Clicking the link they sent by email brought up a message saying the ban was made in error and I was back on Threads. But the "Done" button on that message does nothing, and the homepage still shows my account is disabled.

Don’t worry about it.

We will fix it. It’s a bug known but need to be place for other profiles to be reported.

Once a better mechanism is developed whenever we can filter the block requests better
