Please help: My business Facebook, Instagram, and personal acct all got disabled

solfox | 34 points

My Facebook account got banned because I didn't have an Instagram account and a bad actor signed up using my same email and I guess did things that violated the TOS. I saw the verification email and ignored it. Two factor authentication didn't matter. That was over a year ago and it's still banned.

Update: Because they banned everything associated with my account, my developer account has been disabled, which broke a live mobile app. I have no way to restore or fix it because they seem to have blocked my IP from creating new accounts. Absolutely bonkers!

I’m learning my lesson: no more FB integration.

This demonstrates the problem with business plans that rely upon a 3rd party service or services over which one has no control and is subject to the whims of 3rd party TOS that can be changed with no warning.

Final Update: A Meta employee was able to resolve the ban and restore my account. Thanks all for the visibility and support.

I'm so sorry. I gave you an upvote so hopefully a Meta employee sees this. It's crazy how much power these few companies have.
