"My name is Daniel reyes, my instagram account went by danieltheposer. I had instagram for many many years. Connections with family and friends, as well as memories. I woke up to being falsely accused of CSE, and no way to recover my account. It is permanently disabled and I have no hope of ever getting it again."

"This is the second time my business accounts have been wrongfully flagged for child exploitation which is absolutely absurd being as my business is skincare and flowers. I have lost all accounts not once but twice. Two times of having to start from scratch, having to create new accounts, new followers and new signage for my booths. It has cost me money and so much time. And now this time I can’t even create a new account unless I obtain a new phone number. This isn’t fair."

"Facebook AI suspended our church's Facebook page that we've had for over 10 years. We've spoken to agent after agent who have confirmed we've done nothing wrong but that they do not have the power to restore our page. The button to even be able to disagree with the decision and make an appeal doesn't even work, it goes to an error page. We are now unable to: -livestream our church services which our elderly and homebound community relies on for their religious practice and community -invite our community and run ads inviting them to our annual Christmas musical. -share with our community winter weather and holiday related changes in church service schedules. -celebrate with our community and town, and share resources for benevolent needs including: homelessness, winter shelters, free community meals, Christmas toy donations, etc. This has become a nightmare for our church family and community."

"I woke up this morning with a notification that my accounts have been suspended for violating their policies on child sexual exploitation and nudity. This is absolutely false and has caused me distress all morning worrying about police showing up at my door, taking my children and everything else that could happen with such a heinous accusation. I’ve appealed it with Meta but based on what I’m reading online I don’t expect a response. This is an atrocity and should be addressed via class action."

"I’m a music producer and my music account was banned on June 29 2025 and I’ve had this account since 2019. RANDOMLY I was suspended for the most absurd reason ever “child sexual exploitation” and I sent an appeal which was never even reviewed so therefore my account was permanently disabled. Every time I make a new account I now get banned for “account integrity” this is absurd, falsely accusing me of “child sexual exploitation” AND infringing on my business, my livelihood, all for some stupid broken AI that doesn’t work, doesn’t look at appeals, AND falsely bans people. This needs to be fixed, absolutely unacceptable for a multi million dollar company. Shame on them."

"Automated ban for violating 'account authenticity and integrity' rule, but no explanation of why they came to this discussion. Appeal quickly denied, automated, never a person to speak to, no response to emails. My FB account was under my real name, using my real email, for over a decade. How could the integrity or authenticity of my account be in question? For no valid reason, I lost touch with many distant friends, past colleagues, and both high school and elementary school groups."

"After being on Facebook with a farm business we were shut down today Dec 31 2025 for sexual exploitation of children!?? We are a farm with no children or anything even close to what this would entail! We appealed and the AI says it is denied! We have NEVER posted anything to do with children on our page it’s all about farming and manufacturing products from our own grown produce. The world is doomed if they let AI decide issues! Our business page as well as other pages tied to our business including instagram is toast along with all our customers and followers and no one to call or talk to for help."

"I've had the same Instagram for about 12 years now, I was suspended months ago for something I didn't do. I appealed straight away & was told "it usually takes us just over a day to review your account", that was 29th October, & still haven't gotten any response. I have so many childhood friends on my Instagram, memories from friends & loved ones that have since passed, & none of it is recoverable. You can download your "information" but it doesn't download anything worthwhile that you'd actually want to keep (photos, messages etc.). & because my facebook is linked to my Instagram, my facebook has also been suspended even though what that accused me of doing "happened" on my Instagram & not my facebook. There is no way whatsoever to get in contact with anyone to help out, & I'm just slowly watching the countdown until my accounts get deleted, while not being able to do a single thing about it. Not only are accounts being lost, the accusations in which they're accusing people of is absolutely disgusting."

"n 2025 alone, I was banned four separate times, including on December 1st, when my account was disabled and later reviewed. On December 3rd, my account was restored and I was clearly told that I had done nothing wrong. Despite this, I was banned again on January 1st for the exact same reason, without any warning, explanation, or new information. These repeated bans have resulted in the loss of every single one of my photography accounts, all of which I built through years of dedication, creativity, and consistency. Every time I begin to grow again and finally gain momentum, reaching thousands of profile views and new engagement, my account is suddenly taken down. This cycle has left me confused, discouraged, and unsure of how to continue growing when my work is repeatedly erased without cause. The most painful loss was my main account in 2024, which I had maintained since 2017. That account held years of memories, creative projects, and nearly all of my personal connections, from middle school friends to college contacts, all of which were lost permanently. What makes this situation even more difficult is the inconsistency of enforcement, being told I did nothing wrong and then being punished again anyway. These actions have caused serious emotional distress, disrupted my ability to create and share my work, and erased years of personal and professional history. I am not asking for special treatment, only fairness, transparency, and accountability so that creators are not repeatedly harmed by unexplained enforcement errors."

"This is clearly a disgusting process. My account was blocked tonight, with absolutely no warning, and the threat of this one being permanently deleted is way over the top. I've been running my account since 2011, and will lost everything, chats, pictures, contacts. and there's clearly no way to make a fair appeal."

"My account was hacked and when I received an email to change the password my account was disabled. The loop of trying to get in touch with a real person is ridiculous and frustrating to say the least. 10 plus years of family and business pictures that I own as the creator gone with no access. Follow the absurd directions to download your information and you get your user name, birthdate and date you joined?! I want my pictures and access back! This has hurt my business as well. A lot of my customers look to Facebook for information and when you can't communicate with them, you lose business."

"Instagram suspended and then disabled my parent managed account I had for my 6 year since 2020. After uploading a valid ID all my accounts were disabled including my both my personal and business pages on Facebook and Instagram. Its impossible to talk to anyone unless you are able to use someone else's account or pay for meta verified and even this isnt guaranteed because the 1st appeal is their "technology". A company should not have this much power with accountability to the people who use and support them daily. Having no way for consumers to talk to someone to fix this issue shows they are a billion dollar corporation that does not care about consumers. I have had my Facebook account since 2005, thats 20 years of memories and connections just taken in a blink of eye with no warning nothing!"

"My Facebook account that I've had since May 22, 2007 was hacked on Dec. 5, 2025 then permanently disabled on Dec. 8, 2025 - completely unbeknownst to me. The hacker first gained access to my email account that I had linked to Facebook, changed my mail forwarding setting and display name. I stopped using that email acct years ago but had it set to forward any email to my current email address. Since the hacker changed that setting, I had NO idea my account was suspended due to violating the Community Standards regarding CSE. The hacker used the one & only appeal which resulted in my account being permanently disabled. Facebook/Meta CRIMINALIZES the innocent users while GLORIFYING the hackers by giving them exactly what they want! There needs to be an access point for us to prove our innocence! I WANT MY PICTURES, VIDEOS, POSTS, CHATS, ETC... RETURNED!! THOSE ARE MINE - NOT FACEBOOK'S!!"

I did manage to talk to meta representative before my IG was hacked but with the restrictions on my name now I haven't had any luck. This must be fixed and stopped!"

"I have been trying for 3 yrs to have a Facebook account, and each time I have set up an account, it is disabled with 1 - 3 days. I even joined meta verified so I could get official support. I was told I could open a new account successfully yesterday, so I did, attaching my business page to my account. I took time and effort to do this, and again, I have today been asked for a selfie video and am now waiting to see the outcome. I am expecting my new account to be disabled again. I feel unfairly disadvantaged as a small business owner and am fed-up with Meta's incompetence. never any reason given as to why this happens."

"Meta doubles down on their faulty AI moderation & no entity is able to hold them accountable? Livelihood, income, community, info resources - things that people have spent a decade + to build gone in the blink of an eye with zero human support. It is unacceptable. My theatre (creative work) account was wrongly flagged; reinstated via "we got this wrong" message; then banned AGAIN without warning bc the AI has it falsely flagged. My emails were different across accounts yet Meta still linked them and cascade banned ALL THREE of my accounts (FB & IG). The appeals process is a joke. This has absolutely devastated our creative work and small family business. 5 weeks banned as of Jan 4, 2026."

"FB wrongfully disabled my account on 1/3/26 after a hacker got into my account through Business Suite/Meta verified. FB's AI accused me of posting explicit pictures. I have sent proof of my location vs the hackers location and receipts showing I was actually where I said I was. I hope that is enough proof to be reinstated. I've had this account since at least 2008. The memories I've shared and created for my daughter to keep are gone. Access to my moms account is gone, I was her legacy contact. There should be a live person to talk to when this happens. We should be protected."

"Hi, and good day, Meta removed my posts over a dozen times over Christian, movies, and music suggestions I made. I kept adding people or organizations to follow at 100, 500, 1,000, and I kept getting minor postings in my feed everyday. So, I wanted good deeds, so everyone is trying to make money and get likes ❤️and I get blamed for something I was not doing like these other people I have listened to. This crap of being blamed for sexualizing while on a public site where everyone needs likes to make money is a joke. I was hoping my good deeds of giving like would lead to getting the same thing. I was hoping to land a job in the entertainment business reviewing music and movies. I was up to almost 5,000 that I followed, but my feed kept giving me minor postings which was pissing me off. I gave likes to everyone, cancer patients, moms, animals starving in need donations, sports, politics etc…. 98% of my feed was still minor crap when I was following nearly 5,000 nothing changed whether I l❤️ liked a post or not. I kept getting minor stuff, what the hell and they never listen to anything I say. Now I get blamed and no one to complain to, there system is Totalitarian behavior and very much gas lighting of us as consumers that we have no recourse to defend ourselves against the super rich META-Black Rock 🪨 on the board and Artificial Intelligence. What was done to me is so infuriating. I prayed for the Lord God almighty to give justice to me, and for my brothers and sisters. Please 🙏 Help! I lost everything on Instagram and Facebook like my brothers and sisters. This has given me a lot of emotional stress and depression that this crap 💩 happens who just wanna be creative, have fun, and make money, praise God. Thanks for listening, Bret Kaehn"

Pictures and videos all throughout my career, especially the military deployments and missions to help the less fortunate, how I showed people in the Philippines how to make exercise equipment from nothing but wood and concrete and the pictures documenting it that I was going to make a documentary on, all gone because of meta ai's mistakes. 14 years of Instagram history, sponsors, pictures of my achievements in the fitness industry, tons of comments from people I've inspired, all my Instagram and Facebook followers, all gone. Please keep attention own this because what was done to us is very wrong and I feel for all the others, especially that are hurt financially by meta"

"On 12/28/25 I received a notice on Facebook that my account was suspended for "violating community standards." I was given a link to a page about child sex trafficking. This suspension also prevents me from using my Quest 3. Spoiler Alert: I'm not a child sex trafficker. I've been a user with no prior issues since 2007. The only possible reason for this I can think of is that I posted a family Christmas picture with my little one-year-old niece on my lap and the automated system flagged it as "possible child molestation, requires further investigation." I clicked the "Appeal" button, but word on the street is that this "review process" could take weeks or even months and I'm absolutely not okay with being blocked from using my $500 Quest 3 for that time. It's already been over a week. Facebook/Meta has no phone support. I've already sent them an email and so far no response."

It shows how much the creator does not care about its users by the way he’s not doing anything to fix this issue. This is absolutely disgusting. This has happened not only to me but also to my family and friends along with many many people on social media."

As a cannabis breeder / influencer in the legal industry who had on average 1.5-2.2+ million views monthly just for my botanical content.. This false ban greatly hurt my business, and brand by not having direct access to my professional social network. I lost contacts that I've been developing for years through international networking, and various social events. Rebuilding is going to be an incredibly difficult journey, especially post-covid.

"I have had a Facebook and Instagram account for over 15 years. Was just removed from both platforms, being falsely accused a VILE act which I absolutely did not do. From my research this is happening in masses due to a Meta glitch. With no customer service center to speak to we are at the mercy of a bot to reinstate our accounts. This is a serious problem and needs to be rectified. Many people are losing so many photos videos and memories which is so devastating. Facebook and Instagram need to be held to a higher standard and need better communication options for their users."

"I was wrongfully suspended from Instagram for “child sexual exploitation, abuse and nudity.” It’s the most outlandish claim about me I have ever heard. Then I found out it’s happening to other people as well. Appeals don’t work and now they permanently disabled my Facebook account that was linked to it that I had for over 15 years. I have pictures and memories on there that I’ll never get back now because of this. I’m furious, to say the least. I hadn’t even posted anything on either of them in years. I just liked looking back at the pictures and videos I had from back then. I’m half tempted to sue if possible. I can’t even make new accounts because they keep banning them. And of course there is no one can talk to about it. I can only email the AI system that screwed it up in the first place. I go on FB Marketplace and watch IG reels….thats about it.

I see the header of my account even though IG says I don't have access because its disabled. I've tried contacts all through 2025. I hate the automated program Meta has because i did not violate the community standards. I suspect someone didnt agree with some random comment and like gamers who get doxxed, i must have got bombarded with people reporting me to the extent that my page got wrongfully disabled. i had no bad comments or violating images on my page. It was for modeling and travel. I lost alot of contacts for my business and old friends I have no way to contact. I will keep bothering Meta until they take responsibility."

Enough is enough with the dead ends and using AI to solve problems vs using human interaction and actively communicating with users alike to provide solutions.

"Before I add my 2 cents here, be on the lookout for comments claiming "anthonydavies01" can get your facebook account back. It's a scammer!! Had a Facebook account since 2010. Been banned on multiple occasions for absolute ridiculous reasons. Yet Facebook refuses to get rid of scammers, spammers, fake accounts and comments making death threats, not to mention trash racist comments. I once reported nearly 200 accounts for the above reasons. Facebook only took action on THREE of them, and all the 197 others Facebook said they didn't violate community standards. And now Facebook is banning 10's of thousands, if not millions of accounts for absolutely NO reason other than their AI bot doesn't know what the hell it's doing and was programmed brainless tools. How is it possible they could allow this to pass as an AI, one that has control over banning users, is beyond me. They had to of known. Because as what I've read, Mark Zuckerburg doesn't care about his faulty AI deleting millions of users account when they hadn't done anything wrong. He even said that after that report, he would double down on the bans. Like it's a joke to him and he doesn't care about those on his platforms. Meta makes BILLIONS monthly. They could easily afford to hire actual people for user support and it wouldn't even make a dent in his finances. But of course he won't. Zuckerburg is a poor excuse of a human being. I pretty much have about had it with Facebook/Meta and any service or product they are associated with. I don't want anything to do with their Meta Quest and I also advise you to avoid it. If your account is linked to it and Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp etc ban you, you will permanently lose access to ALL of your Quest games. Meta doesn't care if you did nothing wrong or lost $$thousands$$ in games. Just like Facebook, you will lose it all and there won't be anything you can do. I rarely ever use my Facebook anymore. I just now downloaded my data from my entire 15+ years there. I would highly suggest you do the same. It contains all of your photos, posts, comments etc. I did it just in case Facebook decides to pull a fast one on me. I don't trust Meta/Facebook one bit. That company has become too corrupt. Just look at all the lawsuits going on against them. There are new lawsuits, massive ones filed multiple times a year. You can't even get any resolutions on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Facebook used to resolve issues there for years. But as of about 3 or so years ago, Facebook stopped responding completely. There are now THOUSANDS of complaints with ZERO responses. That there tells you how much they "care" now. Check out r/facebookdisabledme on Reddit for MANY more reports just like these here. It's nonstop. You can also find TONS more at r/facebook. It's high time Meta starts paying BIGTIME for all the garbage they keep pulling!"

"Relying on Ai to do your job is embarrassing. Banning people’s account falsely is OUTRAGEOUS. Memories, businesses, creative freedom, art, A PLATFORM is taken away from us. No it’s not just an account. No I will not be creating more, I shouldn’t have to. Do your job. Do you not care bout the people who use ur apps? Slowly no one will end up using it… ruining ur own business for good smh."

"Hmmm, I was treated this same way. I was very pissed because I use the accounts for work, and all memories of my new baby are on them. I'm thankful to my mom; without her help, I wouldn't have gotten into my account. Thank you so much for linking me up with anthonydavies01 on Telegram. He works at Meta, and with his assistance after I hired him, I got back into my account."

"Having been on Facebook since it's inception. I was randomly banned 4 days ago with no warning. Just said I violated community standards and no other details. The appeal was denied almost immediately, maybe 2-5 minutes tops. I had a page that match my YouTube creator account where I posed engineering projects that match and I interacted with, gone. this affects channel views and engagement. Years of family and friends memories now gone and no real understanding of why. Pictures of my dog that has passed are also gone with all the memories we shared together. I was in the middle of selling a dirt bike and truck on Marketplace, I no longer have contact with them to complete the sale, was expecting almost $20k to come in from this that i needed. I used messenger to keep in touch with friends from overseas. now I can't, don't have any other forms of contact with. them. I feel alienated from everyone else with no due regard. I'm also frustrated since Meta enjoys 302 protection as a platform and not a publisher, but they are acting a publisher while enjoying 302 protections."

"Having Instagram for over 2 years and then just getting deleted for something absolutely disgusting is ridiculous. I appeal my account and which nothing has happened. Even making a new account gets banned for Child Exploitation Sexually, Absuse, Nudity. Absolutely sad. The lack of support and care they have for this app is absolutely sickening."

"I have friends and family in different states that I use instagram to maintain a relationship with, as well as marking significant milestones in my life, which is gone now due to the unfair and horribly inaccurate ban on my account. Not only that, but CSE is a HUGE accusation and could seriously damage my reputation and job choices before I even get into my career!"

"I was recently banned from IG for CSE. I have no posts concerning it. I never got a warning. My interactions with youth are appropriate and very limited. I use my account primarily for school (college), and interacting with people who have disabilities, whom I can learn from. I started getting into sports cause of it. I also want to start businesses and nonprofits because of what I have seen on Instagram."

"I was suspended on Instagram for “Child sexual exploitation, abuse, and nudity” by their AI moderation system. It was absolutely disgusting to even think that I would be framed for such a thing. I originally downloaded Instagram just to keep up with my school’s events. Not to mention, the last picture I posted was of me leaving the hospital, and it didn’t even have my face in it. How could that be violating any rules? Once I submitted an appeal, they suspended me again for the same reason less than a day after I got my account back. I doubt a real person even looked at the appeal I had sent them."

"Hello, I just saw a report about Meta disabling people’s accounts with no proof of what they are being disabled for. I am one of them, this is the second time within this month, this time it says permanently. This is definitely an issue that needs to be resolved."

"I had both my Facebook and Instagram permanently banned during the summer and it scared me to death. I appealed and got no where and like many was given no actual evidence or examples of my violations and of course had no interactions with a human customer service representative. I've lost contact to people in my life both personally and professionally. This is the problem with putting AI in charge. They rely on algorithm and many times they interpret those algorithms incorrectly. I was repeatedly suspended for telling FRIENDS they looked pretty or other compliments with Meta accusing me of violating their bullying/harassment policies. These were friends that posted style pictures who wanted advice and opinions. But the AI does not see that. Meanwhile other posters but up very EXPLICIT content with very vulgar comments and they were left alone. The AI is very flawed and Meta NEEDS human interactions to verify when something is reported like this to ensure people are not being falsely banned. ESPECIALLY with such extreme accusations that could have very dire legal consequences. All cases that were banned should be immediately reviewed case by case by a human dept. And reinstated fully once these bans have been proven false"

"Was randomly false accused and permanently banned on Instagram leading to my facebook account also being banned which is where i talk to certain family members, have many childhood/family photos of myself and the ban has just caused me to loose touch with many people."

"I had an Instagram account I used for photography and it was my passion and I was wrongfully taken down after two years of growing the account. And had my Facebook of over a decade taken down as well just for being linked. All wrongfully done. Meta needs to address this with support from REAL PEOPLE."
