"Wtf Meta! You are using AI to review our accounts and you do not even bother have humans check if the reviews made by your fucking AI are true. Community standards there, that. Girl, Meta. If you want to accuse me of violating your community standards, show us your proof! We have explanations why your AI is creating false reports!"

"I have had my Facebook account for 16 years. I rarely post anything, but this account holds years of private conversations, meaningful exchanges, trusted contacts, photos, and personal data built over a lifetime. My account was hacked and taken over by a third party. Without my knowledge, it was used to publish illegal and harmful content, which led to its permanent deletion. Despite being the victim and providing explanations and evidence, my appeals were denied. I lost access to irreplaceable memories and important personal and professional connections for something I did not do. This petition asks for compassion, fairness, and real human review so that victims of account takeovers are not punished instead of those responsible."

"I was accused of something horrendous and had to give explanations to people I work with, friends and my family. I feel disgusted and so humiliated. I am depressed to even think of such. It’s been a hard 6 months. I had photos I no longer have, meta needs to be held responsible of all the damages."

"Long story short. Randomly I got banned for child exploitation. Waited a few days after appeal. They permanently banned the account. Made a new account. Was going for a little bit but then got banned for spam/being a bot? Still waiting on the appeal."

"I have been a Facebook user since 2009 and never once had any issues. I don't post anything political or related to hate speech, bullying, cursing, or anything that a rational reasonable human would think would violate Facebooks standards. Suddenly one night at 3:59 AM while I am sleeping I get an email from META that my account is suspended because some of my posts or comments don't follow their community standards. There is no explanation as to what specifically violated their standards and the only option I have is to appeal their decision. While waiting to hear back from the appeal, my account is still blocked and all it tells me is I requested a review. There isn't even a way to ask for clarification on why it was suspended and no one from Facebook or META reaches out to me. Then 2 days later after appealing, I get a notification that my appeal was denied and I cant request another review of the decision again, and my account is disabled. This is very frustrating and upsetting because there is no customer support and no way to reach out to a live person for help. Everything is controlled by AI from initial account suspension to appeal review to final account disabling. Even the HELP section on Facebook just keeps looping me in circles that don't help with my situation. There is no way to retrieve anything I have put on facebook and the option to download my information does not show the actual issue or show anything like photos or anything I have posted over the years. Everything for the last 18 years is just gone, wiped away. Friend connections, photos, marketplace listings, messenger conversations, groups I follow, I am blocked from accessing all of it. This is no way to treat people especially people who are honest users who have been using the platform for years. META is a very large business and should work to correct this and restore peoples accounts who were treated this way and wrongly punished."

"Years of connections & personal records locked down with no notice, adequate reasoning or recourse other than appealing to a one directional automated appeal ‘process’. The loss goes far beyond inconvenience; is isolating from family, friends and community and Meta shows a contemptible disregard for users attempting in good faith to solve for random issues cloaked in silence with zero interaction."

"I've been banned fron Facebook for no true motives since December 3, 2025 (more than a month now). I've created 2 groups with more tgan"
Gilles Menard
January 17, 2026
"I created a local history group with over 27,000 members, of which I was the sole administrator. I was also the main administrator of another related group with over 5,000 members. More than 10 years of unpaid work, research, and sharing, without a single advertisement, offensive content, or indecent post. Then, suddenly, I was banned under a false pretext: posting too much advertising! I immediately appealed, and I'm blocked. All my posts are no longer accessible to the members of my groups (the very reason for their existence). I tried unsuccessfully to contact Facebook staff, but received no response or acknowledgment. My groups are surviving somewhat thanks to other members' contributions, but are gradually declining. This sudden ban has prevented me from recovering my original comments and contributions, and I feel greatly wronged. Facebook still hasn't ruled on my appeal against the ban, and in my opinion, won't do so anytime soon, knowing full well that if they did, they would be liable for damages. My only option: legal action."

"12+ years of business and personal growth on the Meta platforms snatched in a day for a false accusation with no evidence, an ignored appeal for over 4 months with all the required information provided, and no human explanation. The emotional and financial distress this has caused is unparalleled as I know I may never recover what has been lost. Banned August 29, 2025. Appealed August 29, 2025 and provided identification via video as required."

"I have never used Facebook because frankly i don't care to use it not at all. But just recently around 2 or so months ago i decided to get into threads. And Instagram because why not. People were being monetized over there and it seemed like a better twitter. So i started one account with a niche on manifestation. Time goes by. My account is suspended because they want to verify I'm a human. Fast forward to last night i am asked in a span of 2 hours to verify i am not a bot twice. The first time was at 9 the second time was at 11. And today. January 17 2026 i wake up to find out thaf my account has been disabled. For "breaking the guidelines." Keep in mind all i did on that account was make posts based around manifestation, alignment, peace, self love etc. I never said anything that could be considered harmless or hurtful or anything that would be considered remotely hurtful without question. And all i get is a pop up on my screen that says i violated the guidelines. It doesn't say what specific guideline just that i violated the guidelines. Crazy how that works."

"Throughout the past year, I was falsely accused by Instagram of “Sexually harassing a minor”. Not only that, theres no HUMAN tech support that can help you. This is unfair to its users, and can give people some pretty big allegations, this is also overshadowing the actual harassment on insta. They need to either Fix this meta bot, or get an actual support team."

"In December 2025 my FB account(had since 2008) was randomly suspended without any specific explanation. They said you can click here to appeal. I did and received a response saying appeal denied, your account is permanently deleted. How can I appeal when I have no idea what I'm appealing? I really have no idea what happened. I had not posted anything in weeks. I no longer have access to posts from my daughter's entire childhood, my deceased dog's memories, and I've lost touch with hundreds of people. This seems arbitrary and unfair."

I have been accused of sexual exploitation of children, this is extremely painful as a parent who's child has been assaulted by a stranger. I take this VERY seriously as a slander against me! Instagram reviewed my account, apologized and said that they found that I did follow the guidelines, then they banned me AGAIN!!!! This is Harrassment!"

"Instagram wrongfully suspended my account without warning in January for CSE. My account is ONLY used to communicate with friends, family, and to share pictures of my life I find interesting. I’m appalled to be accused of such an awful thing and absolutely FURIOUS there is no REAL customer service support to fix this issue. I’ve emailed Instagram numerous times and demand this entire issue be resolved for everyone impacted by their awful AI use. I’ve luckily been able to submit an appeal but with the level of intensity this violation is according to Instagram policy I’m nervous I won’t get my account back. I’ve had my account for nearly 10 YEARS and have so many memories and chats with friends and family I would HATE to see disappear because of negligence. Please, we all need help."

"Having been with Facebook since 2006 I have never had any issues with the platform. Fast forward to 2025, a year after I put my teen child onto my account so I can monitor what he is doing has now permanently disabled all of our accounts. All my international communication with family, friends, and colleagues gone and my son's social media representing him in his sports and future career goals for recruiters. The new AI tracking is not accurate and trying to get to a person to review the mistake is impossible. I hope Meta will figure out how to properly build an AI system where they can weed out those who are truly inappropriate and let those who are innocent continue to live their lives."

"I had my Facebook account, which I created back in August 2008, get permanently disabled for falsely accusing me of sexualization of children, when I have not done any wrongdoing. I appealed for it and got denied automatically without any real explanation at all. Now I am unable to contact my family and friends at all, and all of the pictures and memories I've made over 17 years are all gone. It also affected my Instagram and Threads accounts. Meta using AI to automate bans innocent people without any real proof is a very wrong thing to do, and you let it destroy these people's lives and memories they have worked on over the years."

"Have had a business page for IG for almost a decade. It has sentimental memories archived from humble beginnings to where it stood before being wrongfully disabled for potential harm to others. I have stayed within guidelines and adapted to updated rules and was wrongfully penalized and permanently disabled at 23k and growing. It has caused decrease in sales and previous traction that was organically building and being wrongfully accused of something that took a whole two minutes to review fot potential appeal is not okay especially with no receipts to back up false claims and relying on uncoordinated ai to “scan” for these false accusations. Cant imagine how many others have a similar scenario for their personal and business pages."

"We are living in a world where AI decides who exists and who doesn't. My account was disabled for using 'Amanda Marie'—my legal names—simply because I didn't want my full identity public for safety reasons. Meta’s notorious lack of human customer support means there is no one to listen to my explanation. There are no live agents to call, no support emails that aren't automated, and no way to prove I am a real person trying to stay safe. I am struggling with a legitimate addiction to this platform and the anxiety of being suddenly cut off from my entire support network. Meta's 'Community Standards' are being enforced by machines that don't understand context, and the impact on mental health is catastrophic. I am tired of being told to 'submit a review' to another bot. I need a person. I need my life back."

"I tried making a new Facebook account for content creation 3 times. It instantly permanently banned all three account. I tried appealing each time to no avail. Each time it said I violated community standards, which is impossible. I hadn't even uploaded anything to violate the community standards. I hadn't even made it past the account set up. Each time I would go to verify my email it would send me the verification code and when I would enter it, it wouldn't work. When I would go back to my email (I had to make new emails each time as well) there would be an email stating I violated community standards, my account has been suspended, and asked me to appeal. Again, I appealed every time and did the verification process. Each time I was asked to record a video of myself, which I did. I would wait for the appeal to complete before trying to make another account. Within an hour I'd get another email saying my account has been permanently banned for violating community standards. That's impossible. I hadn't even logged into the account for the first time or posted a single thing. I also used my real name when signing up. So it's not like I used some crazy fake name. This is outrageous on Facebooks part. They say we are allowed and welcome to make content creation personal profiles and/or pages, yet it's impossible. They make a lot of money from content creators so I don't understand why they are making it impossible for me to make a profile which I intend to turn into a page. This really sucks. I am at a loss on what to do or how to fix this or get another the bot auto rejecting my accounts, which appears to be sent to another bot (so not human verified) who also instantly rejects it."

"My instagram account was banned for an insane accusation, when myself am a teen. I own a meta vr headset and because the AI detection banned me. I made an appeal and later the next day it says none of my accounts exist anymore. I have spent a surplus amount of money on virtual reality games just for META to screw me over nothing."

"I had my instagram account for year, since around 2016. Recently my Instagram account was suspended and my appeal was automatically discarded by an AI system within minutes of me submitting it. I've lost my main form of communication with multiple friends I've met throughout the years, including some who I only had regular contact with via Instagram. I've lost access to multiple priceless memories, even though I haven't violated any Instagram policies. It feels almost targeted against me since I've voiced my displeasure with AI as a whole, which Meta has been steadily trying to push forward. It feels targeted because I often make comments on political discourse. I hate these automated systems where you are fighting endlessly against a computer that is programmed to automatically deny any appeals. Oh you appealed and our "expert trust and safety team" determined that you are still in violation of our policies in less than 30 seconds. That isn't a diligent and thorough review. That is negligence and laziness to save Meta a couple hundred thousand in wages for actual human trust and safety members. Hold Meta accountable. Hold Twitter accountable."

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident last November 2025. My account was disabled the second I posted an explanation why some hard tire compounds get dangerously slippy on dry pavement. The explanation came in part from a ChatGPT analysis which included links as references. I was not trying to sell anything. There were no apparent reason for disabling my account. It's been over two months now and nothing. I tried to contact FB via the Privacy Claims and PIDEDA Acts to get an explanation of why my account was disabled and how did they used my personal information in the process. Privacy department discarded my request saying they don't deal with account suspension. Although there is a legal ground to argue about the use of AI to process content and personal data."

"I am a legacy user of Instagram. I have been on the app for probably over 14 years in great standing and following all the Community Guidelines properly, like so many others who are also facing this issue. Unfortunately since the Facebook/Meta acquisition and Meta’s implementation of AI moderation, there has been an issue with their AI detection system unfairly banning accounts. My account, catalo_rosa, and all connected Facebook and other accounts (connected via Account Center) have been disabled/banned unfairly. Even worse, on my new account, I paid for Meta Verified so I can gain access to receive support regarding the account, and I have been waiting for months, followed-up on the issue after waiting months, and every agent gives me a different reply/answer and answers are inconsistent. Some agents say that the case is still open, some agents say it’s closed, and some say there is not an existing case at all. The accusations also continue from Meta and their support agents as well. They are removing not only me, but others and making criminal accusations against human beings. I am still here standing with a completely clean criminal record, on the other hand being reminded by clueless support agents that the account was removed for not following Community Guidelines and Standards and that I need to read the community guidelines properly. I have never been in violation of any community guideline. In addition to that, they labeled me and my account as a “Dangerous Individual and Organization”, which just doesn’t make sense. If this will not be handled I will be handling it via legal proceedings due to the criminal accusations that are being made against me and my character. Thank you. I hope that Meta’s development team can restore all negatively impacted accounts. Thank you."

"Having been on Facebook since it's inception. I was randomly banned 2 weeks ago and the appeal was automatically reviewed by the same broken AI process that resulted in the ban. Not further details, no access to support, no ability to recover data, no procedural fairness. Years of family and friends memories now gone and no real understanding of why. Then the fact that the ban pushes across all other Meta services then has wide ranging affects as businesses and community groups turn to Messenger and WhatsApp their primary communication tool. These erroneous bans are affecting waves of users and isolating many people's main source of communication and information."

"About 7 months ago I had my account suspended with no explanation what so ever. I made an appeal and got no response for 5 months! Each time I checked it just gave me the same answer iver and over that i appealed on this date etc. I don't think they even looked at my appeal! Today I finally found out the information that the account was permanently disabled (which i wasn't even notified about so who knows how long its been disabled since i checked last) and the reasoning was completely insane. I was banned for apparently violating child sexual exploitation guidelines, an accusations they gave absolutely zero proof for, not that they could anyway BECAUSE ALL I DID FOR THE SEVERAL YEARS ON THAT ACCOUNT WAS POST MYSELF OR PICTURES OF NATURE, AND SEND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ANIMAL VIDEOS, LIKE? I have tried to make a new account THREE TIMES now but the first two were almost instantly suspended as well. F you meta."

"I have been selling on Facebook and been banned or suspended for NO reason given. I asked them in the appeal, if they can't give me the EXACT reason, why I am being suspended to put back my account. They will put back my account and in less then one day, it's suspend again, despite the fact that I have a perfect stars review, at 5 stars from buyers and customers! This one guy got mad because HE said he couldn't authenticate a doll I was selling and blocked me and the minute he did that, Facebook blocked me to!"

"Meta permanently disabled my Instagram and linked Facebook accounts for alleged policy violations that are factually incorrect, likely based on automated AI misclassification. The appeal process was automated and did not provide a way to submit context; the decision was affirmed within minutes and I was told no further review was available. These accounts are central to my business: they serve as my portfolio, marketing channel, and client communication hub. The disablement abruptly cut off customer communications, eliminated incoming leads, disrupted scheduled work, and threatened deletion of years of content and business records, causing significant financial and reputational damage."

"Hello my name is Victor (Vdrt777) was my handle I have never participated or shared or looked up anything explicit on Instagram or any social media I have ever owned and I got banned for child sexual exploitation and I appealed of course and within 2 min it was denied, there’s no way I have no idea what happened I just scroll reels on here, I have 3 photos one of me sitting with my dog, another of me standing next to my cousin who’s also an adult male, and another of me infront of a mirror taking a selfie fully clothed. I am so disappointed with this mainly because my Facebook was linked and it is now gone and I use that to talk to my family and friends from long ago, I cannot make a new account I must be IP banned but there is nowhere to go for further assistance this is wrong.."

"I’ve had a Facebook account for 20 years and was recently becoming a small influencer. I had thousands of followers and friends. Hundreds of posts and comments and dozens of groups. Saved messages from special people. One morning I woke up and my account (Facebook and Instagram) had been hacked, “reviewed”, and permanently disabled with no option to review or talk to someone directly. No support whatsoever. Now I’ve tried creating new accounts and they keep getting marked as fraud and disabled or restricted. I want my account back. This needs to change. Meta needs to be accountable for its AI review banning legitimate people from it’s platform."

"Meta’s recent actions have significantly impacted my business/accounts by limiting visibility and engagement across my platforms. Changes to algorithms and account restrictions have reduced my reach to followers and customers, directly affecting growth, communication, and overall performance. In some cases, content that previously complied with Meta’s policies has been flagged or deprioritized, making it difficult to maintain consistent engagement. These disruptions have caused a noticeable decline in traffic, interactions, and opportunities that my business/accounts rely on to operate effectively. Meta’s actions have had a significant physical, emotional, and financial impact on me and my business. Financially, reduced visibility and restricted access to my accounts have led to a loss of income, missed opportunities, and a decline in customer engagement that my business depends on. Emotionally, this situation has been extremely stressful and discouraging, creating anxiety and frustration after investing so much time, effort, and creativity into building my platform. The uncertainty of not knowing when or if the issue will be resolved has taken a mental toll. Physically, the ongoing stress has affected my focus, sleep, and overall well-being, as I’ve had to spend long hours trying to resolve the issue and recover what was lost. Overall, Meta’s actions have disrupted both my livelihood and my personal health."

"I just had my Facebook account suspended by Meta. I have done nothing whatsoever wrong. I am also disabled (Autism) and Facebook is my main social connector. In effect I have now lost many friends and contacts built up over a decade and contact with overseas blood relatives. I pressed the appeals button and rather than this launching a double check (which would surely find me innocent) they seem to be farming for my personal data - I jump through a few of the hoops and then things got so invasive I thought, if this company has a leak then this is an avenue for serious identity theft - plus, with what is going on in the US at present, I don't really want to supply that nation with my UK documents and/or cards due to being uncertain what hands it might end up in. I got as far as them asking for marriage certificates and the such like. As a disabled, non-driving and non-travelling person, I do not have much in the way of the ID proofs Meta insisted upon. I was thinking of offering my disabled person's bus card, but that alone would not be enough. I know META is a private firm and I accepted that when signing up way back in 2009 - the only account I kept and used. It is their right to throw me off their site. It would be nice to be able to talk/text to a human being and protest my complete innocence. Interestingly, last night I got the message from Facebook about paying not to have adverts. I selected that I would not pay and carry on with Facebook as before. Now, some hours later, my account is suspended."

"I am writing regarding the sudden disabling of my Instagram account @Dancer2873, which also resulted in the automatic disabling of my connected Facebook and Meta VR accounts. I was informed that my Instagram account was banned for alleged Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) content. This accusation is both deeply shocking and entirely unfounded. I have never violated Meta’s Community Standards, let alone engaged in anything remotely related to CSE. What is even more concerning is that my appeal was denied within approximately five minutes of submission. This is not nearly enough time to properly review a 14+ year-old account with extensive history, content, and context. It gives the impression that my appeal may not have been genuinely reviewed. This situation is extremely distressing. Because my account was disabled, I have lost access to years of personal photos and memories, including irreplaceable photos of my late father and my family. These memories hold enormous emotional value, and losing them has been devastating. I respectfully requested the following from Meta: A full, manual re-review of my account (@Dancer2873) by a qualified human reviewer. A clear explanation of what content triggered the CSE accusation. Restoration of my Instagram, Facebook, and Meta VR accounts if the review confirms that no violation occurred—as I am confident it will. I have always followed the Community Standards, and I was simply asking for a fair review and a chance to regain access to my own memories and accounts. I have not heard back from Meta and I also filed a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, they accepted my complaint and reached out to meta on 2 occasions with no response."

"I help creators manage their accounts and a few of my clients got randomly disabled for no reason at all! with no meta support no human to talk to and no appeal that works in a human case, they were left no option. No money for bills, no food on the table. Meta needs to be held accountable!"

"I have had an account with IG since 2016 and the traction has organically grown with sharing reels and collab posts. On Jan 17 2026 my account after ten years got disabled under false assumptions. I have followed guidelines best to me ability only to have the only source of networking taken away, affecting business and growth for the brands associated with. We comply with guidelines and deserve real people to look through and reverse the decision to simultaneously ban accounts from a glitch within AI scanning. It is obvious its becoming a problem and there are faults to be sorted out before giving less of a chance to help those affected."

"I've had my Instagram and Facebook for my entire life all my friends and contacts are on Facebook and Instagram and then one day I get falsely suspended pending review. It was about 2 and a half months later after I had given up that I got an email saying a mistake was made and I got Access back until 2 more months later it got suspended for the same reason and I've never been able to speak to someone regarding it if appears as if my account review is in limbo not doing anything"

"Lost almost every connection to my past in an instant, my closest connections were kept obviously through phone number, but 100s of friends and memories lost in an instant, no only this, but I lost the ability to access purchased gaming content though meta vr devices. I feel as if I have been robbed of my own identity with the accusations made against my account and to that my own digital property, which I do not technically own, but invested money and time into and it just goes away for nothing. Very sad to see such a big company treat its own customers and users like this. Not being able to talk to a human or be updated with proof against you feels almost inhumane to a degree. I wish for there to be a just review process, that doesn’t seem like much of an ask, ultimately we will see."

"Back in December, my Instagram account (and facebook) was disabled after multiple suspensions and responses back from META that I did not violate community standard for Child Sexual Exploitation (possibly for chatting with my 14 year old daughter about her mental health). Then on the 4th suspension I sent my photo as required and suddenly it was permanently disabled with no turning back. I lost 16 years of my life in facebook. Every photo I ever took I dumped in facebook. Photos of my family members who are no longer with us. This is ridiculous, and no where to go from here. Stop letting robots control multi-million dollar companies!!!"

"Been on instagram since 2020, had the same account for over 5 years already but I had to separate my art from my personal life so I made another account to promote my art while having not to interfere with my personal account! Well, they suspended my art account due to not following their guidelines but it doesn’t tell me exactly what I had done wrong so they did a chain reaction ban on my art and my personal account! I appealed and they said nope, it was permanently disabled! I wanna know how I can fix my wrong doings if I have any but they just won’t contact me!"
