"Instagram has wrongfully taken down all three of my accounts without letting me submit and appeal for things I have not done!"
Anthony Guerrero

"Honestly never expected to be wrongfully accused on a social platform, like if y’all wanna accuse someone y’all better have that evidence cause falsely accusing an individual or people is a CRIME! I just hope that this can actually do something about it cause people need to be heard and receive justice because these types of things can impact an individual’s life and professional status that some employers look for so they better fix this issue asap."

"I worked long and hard on my account for four years just to be wrongfully suspended for false allegations. This is not fair. I am losing out on so many business opportunities. Why do I have to suffer because meta wants to be lazy and use AI to flag people down. This so wrong and upsetting."

"I lost my account in June and I haven’t been able to get it back since. It got suspended and I submitted an appeal immediately but still have not heard anything back. That was my business account and I lost all my contacts and ever since then I’ve lost money from BOTH businesses I had on my accounts."

"At least 4 people/groups that I know of have had their accounts disabled over the last ten days. These people are dedicated advocates for endangered wildlife, and there is absolutely nothing wrong or suspicious about their activity. Their only "crime" has been a passion for helping to support and raise awareness about the serious issues facing Australian wildlife. RESTORE THEIR ACCOUNTS NOW META, WE'RE TIRED OF THIS AI NONSENSE AND NO HUMAN SUPPORT AVAILABLE TO ASSIST OTHER HUMANS."

"Good morning and sure, you can have my signature, but I'm oblivious as to why all of you just don't demand better. A place that can import everything, into a Real, Friendly User Interface (GUI); leave all the losers to... Oh well, my computer system finishes initializing soon, and then you won't have to suffer a F.I. (Fake/Artificial Intelligence) making critical decisions involving your health and well-being. Or your information being taken from you. And i can be just Richard, and when my brother says to me from an ocean away, "Richard?" the really good recording of it would go to me, if that was his intention. From there it'd be us talking in real-time, arranging to meet. Two months for all of us to go super-viral with our latest and greatest, calmest and quietest movement yet. I will be back. Peace, r"

"My Facebook account that I opened in January 2009 was disabled in July 2024. Due to a fraudulent Instagram account violating community standards. I woke up on July 28th 2024 to email notifications of suspicious log in attempts. My account had been hacked, from an IP address in Texas, USA. My Facebook password had been changed, my Instagram was also hacked and a fraudulent Instagram account was linked to my Facebook. I was able to recover my Instagram fairly quickly but my Facebook is still disabled/ suspended a year later. I contacted all the numerous emails for both platforms with no replies. I refuse to pay Meta money just to talk to a human being. I lost many years of memories and pictures as well as connections with people . It's all very suspicious behavior and most likely an inside job with this social media giant and it needs to be stopped."

"This is absolutely bullshit and part of why Ai needs to be better regulated not just in meta but everywhere. We all know this is not just a loosing your Facebook or Insta account issue, we know ai like this is working in HR in other companies and people are wrongfully loosing their actual jobs or even medical coverage or both, too. Fuck AI, real people should be in charge of these things!"

"It truly breaks my heart how many of us have to go through the same situation of being accused of something we have never done and meta so having to take away many year of precious and contacts with people we love and know. It doesn't make any sense as to why instagram and Facebook have assigned meta an AI to identify whether they can deem an account is truly breaking their guidelines or accusing other of being AI. This in turn shows that meta an AI used to take over an utmost important job of what a human should be doing not an AI which can't even identify right from wrong. Having to experience almost 1 week of being accused of exploiting young childern/nudity was by far the most disappointing and out right outrageous. the fact for being accused that right after posting a intimate birthday party with friends was flagged for going against the community guideline confused me. This situation as a whole showed how little instagram and Facebook has lowered their standard just so they don't have to hire people to do the utmost important job."

"My 15 year account was hacked & disabled on March 23rd, 2024. I have tried since then to get it back with no success. Hundreds of email messages, ID submitted hundreds of times, selfie videos submitted, & nothing has helped me get my account back. I lost my business page, a source of income, & all of the contacts I was communicating with. It's all gone. Meta needs to be held accountable for this. Don't just start another page. Take action!"

"I have been on Instagram/facebook since 2016 both my accounts were wrongfully been for the exact same reason everyone else was banned we shouldn’t be banning people without probable cause No further details or On Facebook nor Instagram As a community, we shouldn’t be doing this i’ve lost so many connections with people on my Instagram, including friends, family businesses, and on top of that memories that I’ve made on my Instagram and Facebook.

"I’ve had my Instagram account for 3 years! I’ve never done anything to my main account that would’ve gone against the terms and conditions. I KNOW better than to mess around with an old-ish account. Then on Friday I get booted randomly! Each account I make it gets disabled with NO appeal process. Mega doesn’t care."

", I’m writing with urgency and concern regarding my Instagram account “slimedat.tay”, which was disabled on July 2nd 2025 for allegedly violating instagrams policies. To be completely honest, I was shocked by this action. I’ve always made it a priority to follow Instagram’s guidelines and have never knowingly violated any policies. This account represents hours of consistent work building a trusted and highly engaged community around. It’s not only my creative outlet — it’s the core of my business and livelihood. I truly believe this may have been a misunderstanding or a mistake, and I’m respectfully asking for a thorough re-review of my case. If I’ve unknowingly done something wrong, I would be grateful for the opportunity to understand and correct it. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon with a positive resolution."

I don't believe they reviewed my appeal that fast. i literally did NOTHING wrong against their policies and i got suspended for no reason?? WTF!"

"I was trying to create a new Meta Business Account so I could advertise my business on IG. However, in the middle of trying to create the Meta Business Account, it suddenly tell me my account is suspended because I was violating some community rules. I was at a loss since for the life of me I have no idea what rules I violated, as everything I filled out was all just business information and there was nothing unusual at all. Then I tried to appeal and that process was very painful. Finally it went through, and days later, I received the message that it was denied. There were no explanations and no details other than I violated rules. It also told me not to appeal again and that I am permanently barred! It was extremely frustrating! I guess they just don't care for me business. I wish I knew why."

"Not a big social media person, don't really post anything. Getting back on social media to see what's going on just felt like a calling I should hop right back off. On July 14 2025, I get back on scrolling looking at cars, just to be emailed ALL FOUR of my accounts I've had being disabled together WITHIN MINUTES, all accused of Child Sexual Exploitation. MIND YOU, the only things I've posted that's "CHILD-LIKE" is my gym posts when I was 17-18 and stories dating back to 2012, I don't understand this hype for social media anymore, it's such a killer."

"For over six years, Instagram was more than just an app to me — it was where I stored memories, stayed connected to family and friends, and built parts of my life, including my business. Without warning, my account was falsely banned for something as serious and heartbreaking as CSE, an accusation that is not only completely untrue but incredibly damaging. This wasn’t just one account. The ban triggered the loss of multiple connected accounts, including my Facebook and business-related pages. Years of messages, photos, videos, and personal milestones were suddenly wiped out. I lost the digital archive of my life — birthdays, family gatherings, travel, friendships, even grief and healing. Being falsely accused of something so horrific — without a chance to explain, appeal properly, or be heard — left me feeling voiceless and violated. It’s not just about losing access to an app. It’s about being treated like I’m guilty of something I didn’t do, and having pieces of my identity, memories, and work erased because of it. I’m speaking out because no one should have to go through this. No one should be falsely labeled, locked out, and silenced without due process."

"Facebook removed the post sharing my grandmother’s death and obituary, flagging the link to the obituary as “violating its policies”. This was incredibly insensitive and upsetting.

"I’ve had an account for over 10 years; on June 9th of 2025 it was taken away; appealing through their system led me to a message that said that I’d receive a response/decision in 3 business days. 30 seconds after I get to that page I get an email saying that my account was permanently disabled. I’ve been unable to reach any form of support or customer service through phone or email; and as a result I’ve faced scrutiny at work and been snubbed by friends. Lots of lost memories and a damaged reputation is all I’m left with."

"I'm a 26-year-old Mexican entrepreneur who used Facebook to promote my food business. I had a page with 300 followers, which I had built up over nearly a year, and it was generating regular sales. My biggest mistake was linking my business profile and page to my personal account. Almost a month ago, my mother fell ill, and it's common in Mexico to share food posts, so I searched for a light dish in several Facebook groups. Minutes later, I received a notification from Facebook saying my post about the food had been reported for "Child Sexual Abuse". They banned me, claiming I could appeal, but all they required was a video of my face, only to permanently ban me minutes later. To this day, Meta has taken down my business account and my personal account, which held my last messages from my father, who passed away in 2014, and cherished memories with my closest friends. The page had been active since 2009. Meta has taken a part of my life, and I have no idea how to recover it. Please, let this reach the right people. Enough of AI overreach."

"My account of over 11 years as well as all other associated accounts were disabled without clear justification. I immediately appealed and submitted a valid government-issued ID. Despite complying with their process and confirming I am a real individual, they denied the appeal the following day. The sudden removal has damaged my professional reach and access to clients and collaborators, as I used my account for business purposes. I have attempted to contact Instagram through all available channels — including in-app support, email, and external forms — and received no human follow-up or explanation. Their system appears to be heavily automated, with no reasonable customer service or recourse for legitimate users. This practice is unfair and detrimental to small businesses and creators who depend on the platform. Not to mention the loss of access to countless family and friends that I'm now experiencing. Extremely disheartening"

"I was also permanently banned and I have no idea why. I was having trouble signing in to my account and was banned. When I tried to appeal it, less than half an hour I received notification that the ban was permanent. I had Facebook for almost 15 years and never had issues until then. I could not even talk to anyone who could help me. It was disheartening as my family and friends use it to communicate, as well as losing my page I created for our family genealogy."

"My Facebook account, that I began in 2007 was disabled (not suspended - Disabled!) in March 13, 2025. No explanation was provided and I have been left guessing which posts or activities were responsible for my 18 year old account being Disabled, with no recourse to appear. I wrote multiple emails to support.fb.com, appeals.fb.com and disabled.fb.com. I might as well have sent them to the moon! My account was a primary connection to my family and friends and there are thousands of pictures and posts that appear to be "gone forever." The lack of concern and accountability of Meta is decidedly appalling."

"My Story Matters Too I’m one of the countless people whose Instagram account was wrongfully flagged for child sexual exploitation—not once, but on both Instagram and Threads. This horrific accusation was not only false, but it instantly wiped out my ability to reach my customers and connect with my community. As a small business owner, this wasn’t just a technical issue—it was financially and emotionally devastating. I tried over and over to contact Meta for help, only to be bounced between vague automated messages and dead-end support channels. No human response, no accountability, no resolution. The systems that are supposed to protect us ended up harming us instead. I’m standing with others who’ve been silenced, shamed, and shut out. We deserve real support and fair treatment. #PeopleOverPlatforms #MetaPetition #AccountabilityNow"

"I've been on Facebook for nearly 20 years. Recently my Instagram, Facebook, and Threads were all suspended without warning and my appeal has fallen on deaf ears. There is no way to contact Meta and I can't even use the Verified method because I can't access my accounts. I recently allowed my teenager to get Instagram and was monitoring her account thru mine. That is no longer possible. I made another account with a different email address so I could view business pages and try to monitor hers, and that one was banned too. My mom recently died and my posts about her were still reaching people, and they're now gone. 20 years of memories have just disappeared, I am without several important resources, and I'm feeling extremely isolated. No recourse, no support, no humans to go to for help. Someone needs to fix this ASAP."

"Despite having two-factor authentication and responding that it was not me to a notification that somebody was trying to login to my account on Sun, Aug. 3, 2025, my account was still hacked (they somehow "verified" that I was under 13... despite my account being started in 2005) and Facebook disabled my account, including my business account and subsequently my Instagram business account for "being under 13" (I am almost 4x that age). I am self employed and have worked for years building up my following and rely on these accounts for communication with my audience, not to mention friends and family on my main personal account. I didn't even get a chance to appeal the suspension before they disabled my accounts. That email offering an appeal came about 12 hours after the fact and it was no longer an option when I clicked on it to appeal. I have tried to reach out - verifying by AI with a selfie which failed for no good reason, tried to find live, or at least email, support, and nothing, no responses to emails sent, no 48 hour promised response to another "manual review" .. just a message over and over that "your account has been disabled". And now my email address has been disconnected. The hackers seem to still have more access than I do. I have never violated any community standards or terms of service. I have filed a complaint with my state's Attorney General and will be passing this off to my own attorney for further action. If this is not resolved, my business (including myself and family) will suffer serious repercussions as I am unable to communicate with the following that I have built over many years. Losing access to family and friends online, as well as my business following, has taken a major emotional toll on me. This is totally unacceptable."

"I've Had Instagram since 2017, this includes Facebook and WhatsApp as well. My account was suspended and I appealed it and 20 minutes later I was permanently banned. From what I've seen this has been an issue for months now and Meta hasn't done anything. Years of memories are gone and friends I can only contact through Instagram I'm unable to contact again."

"I’ve had my Instagram for 8 years and my Facebook even longer and I’ve never had issues with either until meta came along. I got flagged for CSE which is highly false, and they deleted both accounts at the same time, I retrieved my Facebook but I was told by customer support of meta after verifying and buying a blue check on Facebook that there’s nothing they can do. It’s been gone since Father’s Day and I have yet to hear from anyone on why my page is gone and I can’t get it back. This is complete bs, and I wish I could get my page back. I ran a business and was gaining profit. Mets can’t get away with this AI stuff."

"I have created a Facebook account approximately four months ago, I have not posted anything I have not really done anything with it, the only thing I have done is viewed Facebook marketplace, that is it, and in that time when I was trying to look for bikes, I have been disabled for absolutely no reason, screw you Facebook. You will be held accountable."

"I had a couple of accounts that are personal and business and most of those accounts got suspended and it was on the night of July 4th and it wasn't right at all and they are doing nothing but making people disappointed."

"I personally feel like it’s unfair I’ve never done anything to violate or disregard instagrams rules I’ve never been banned before or suspended or anything now all of my Facebook pictures are gone all the pictures from my childhood were on my Facebook page. This is ridiculous."

"At the beginning of August my insta account was suddenly disabled after not even having posted in nearly a month. No way to appeal, no one responding to any form of communication. I spent over 3 hours trying to find this mysterious appeal process that was mentioned in the 1 email notification provided that my account had been disabled due to something truly unbelievable only to realize there is no way to appeal. No matter what you click on it just takes you in circles. I’ve had my insta account for almost 15 years and my facebook for nearly 20. Years worth of memories and friends absolutely gone. It’s heartbreaking and disgusting how meta more or less steals your memories without even the due justification of why. Both of those accounts were methods of communication to my friends, family, graduated students, a whole community of professionals and neighbors. What’s even more frustrating are the number of spam accounts able to continue on without problem. Why would anyone knowing that this is a possibility ever even willingly subject themselves to losing all of their personal memories. We’ve become too trusting; trust that these giant conglomerates have our best interests in mind when in reality there’s no one even behind the scenes and everything has turned to AI. Social media is such a central part of life these days and to have this source of communication ripped away with absolutely no warning at all was beyond devastating; I don’t think I’ve ever felt so isolated in my entire life. You stole nearly 20 years of my life meta and others need to be warned."

"I, for one, WELCOME our new AI Overlords! As a trusted Facebook user, perhaps I can be useful in rounding up others to work in their underground crypto mines."

"I've had facebook since 2007 and lost my facebook and 3 instagram accounts (mine, my son's, and my daugheter's) in June because they're all linked. I've tried appealing with no response or update. I've lost 20 years of memories of all 3 of my children being born and all of the photos and events shared. I've since recreated an instagram account and reshared 3 years of information for my daughter. I tried creating an instagram account for myself last night and used my email address and my daughter's new instagram account that took me 40 hours to rebuild has now been blocked because it's "owned by the same person or entity as an account that has been disabled". Because of an error in the AI process that flagged my original account, my new account has now been taken down as well. Something is broken here."
