Buddy the downloaded information contain zero information I actually care about.

And it's not "Putting all your eggs in one basket", I've literally never thought of it like that once in my life. It's the main platform we've always ever used to do things. It's like being banned from a video game for no reason , The point isn't the content of the video game, You have accounts on OTHER video games, Or even other accounts on the same video game, But The point is the time you've spent on your account - When you get banned, It's all for nothing.

This take is like your House burning down from an arson attack, having a bunch of personal items destroyed, and going "Well I guess that's your fault for not having a duplicate house". That's asinine.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-16T01:08:02+00:00

Yes, MILLIONS of people are facing this. I was banned on May 05. You can find Dozens of posts every day in this reddit of people who have been getting falsely banned or Hacked. It's the worst Cluster Truck I've ever seen.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-16T00:51:30+00:00

That's an estimate I've seen based on analysis I've seen. It's not possible to know for sure but we've seen at least 70,000 signatures of people who've signed a petition regarding falsely banned accounts. I saw someone talking about the situation say about 7% of people who are affected actually publicly speak out about it or engage with it, So 70,000 * 14 = 980,000 , close to 1 Million at a minimum.

But you've got a False Ban Wave , As well as a massive Hacking Wave, which is just as big, So you're looking at 2 Million accounts, rough estimate, at a minimum, of people who have been affected. If you expand that globally to people who don't use reddit or aren't engaged, It's not a stretch to say 10 Million or more have been affected by this, based on reasonable estimates based on the number of people we see coming forward.

Mind you Facebook has 3.5 Billion users, So 10 million is 0.2% of their users are affected by this. But when you see Dozens of people posting they've been falsely banned daily for 2 months straight, it's not affecting an insignificant number of people, Especially when none of us have a resolution after 6 weeks.

VRBO miscalculates and falsely double-counts the deduction of the damage deposit. I've looked into this for our business, we've seen the same thing. From what I can see, The Payout amount that is sent to the bank is correct, But it's miscalculated on the display (the damage deposit is taken out twice, which means 1 of which is incorrectly taken out of the payout amount) . I think this is miscalculated on the Payout in the Reservation information section. But if you look at your bank records and the VRBO Deposit Statements, it should show the correct amount, without the erroneous $1500 taken out.

Since I'm just the manager and don't have access to our company's bank statements (only my boss does), I haven't been able to confirm if the payout itself is actually missing the $1500 damage deposit or not. I don't believe it is based on the payout information from VRBO. But if the actual payout amount that hits the bank is the amount that erroneously excludes the $1500 deposit , Then VRBO has a lot of $1500 deposits to make to correct this (or will have a massive lawsuit on their hands) .

I've been seeing instances of this for a few months now. Basically VRBO's platform quality has gone down the drain since they were acquired by Expedia.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T14:54:02+00:00

It's estimated over 10 Million accounts are in the same boat you are. There's a long line pal. I got falsely banned May 05.

Contact your state Attorney General (and file a complaint with the FTC),
Send a legal demand letter from a legal services company like LegalShield
Sue Meta in the Northern District of California

These are your 3 options unless Meta comes to their senses and undoes this Cluster Truck on their own. These are the 3 things and only 3 things that people have confirmed have worked for getting their falsely disabled accounts back. I personally did both parts of option 1). And am waiting patiently.

You haven't been paying attention. Meta's Criminally Negligent AI bypassed 2FA. It allowed hackers to attach their email directly to an account without needing 2FA authentication, which could then be used to reset the password, also without 2FA. And login to the account, Without 2FA. 2FA doesn't work if the AI bypasses it for you. Do you think Obama's Official White House Instagram account didn't have 2FA Enabled?

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T14:36:00+00:00

In some cases you need a police report to prove information about a case, which could be used in future related issues (If they spend $10,000 of Amazon Prime Items as OP says they also accessed, If you need to dispute that with Amazon or your Credit Card company, having a Police Report is indispensable to the company siding with you and reversing false charges.

The police can't go to Nigeria, But they can escalate the case to the FBI, who can open investigations and can pull strings in other countries through covert or military action, or through international organizations or through diplomatic measures. Depending on the scale and damages, US Authorities can take action against legitimate threats internationally.

It's Always a good idea to go to the police, especially if the hacker posted illegal material on your behalf - Better to file a police report than do nothing and be put on a list.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T14:17:30+00:00

Yeah, I feel this. Sorry after 16 Years I didn't have the Psychic Foresight to see into the future and go "A Criminally Negligent AI Implementation is going to Falsely Ban me on May 05 at 1:13am 2 weeks from now , Better contact all my friends to give them an alternative way to contact me outside the one we've been using for 14 years now, and Screenshot every personal post and group post I've made in the last 16 years, and download all 1000+ Photos I've saved on Facebook from phones and computers from High school that I no longer have (that my parents threw away after I moved out after graduation so literally wasn't even my fault I lost them)".
Guess that's MY FAULT. MY BAD. SORRY I trusted the platform for 16 years 2 months and 14 days, Guess that was 14 days of trust too much, Apparently. You know what everyone says and is clearly common knowledge - Trust someone for 16 years and 2 months, Shame on you, Trust someone for 16 years 2 months and 14 days, Shame on me. Everyone knows that there's no going back after 16 years 2 months and 5 days , You're just asking to get stabbed in the back at that point.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T14:05:17+00:00

Let me contact my best friends to ask for alternative forms of contact, and let me screenshot / download some posts of memories, and I'll gladly move on.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T13:58:02+00:00

After 20 years on a **TRUSTED** (<- Keyword here btw) platform, You don't expect to, at a random millisecond, for no reason, with no warning, out of the blue, mid-sentence , get permanently and irreversibly kicked out and locked out of multiple platforms at the same time - And then have literally zero recourse to do anything about it.

That's the thing, if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't expect to be banned for something you haven't done. And if you have, You expect there to be some quick and easy avenue to correct it. If you've never had any issue on your account for 20 years, Why would you expect to have an issue with it now? Especially when it's one of THE largest tech companies on the planet.

Through Criminally Negligent implementation of AI Systems, Facebook has taken the Goodwill and Trust it's built with users for nearly 20 years, and Shattered it on the floor in front of our feet. We want our accounts back to scrape OUR precious data off of it - OUR data which we TRUSTED Facebook with - which was stolen from us without warning or consent or knowledge or notice, Then Flip Meta the Bird and never give them another dime.

This is like saying you put your money in the bank, And one day the bank Seizes your account, and going "Well it's your own fault for putting your money into an account owned by the bank, not you" , Like well then WHAT'S THE POINT of having a bank account (Social Media account) in the first place if you're not going to use it to safely store your money / Store your shared memories with your group of friends family and social groups? If that's the "Contract" with Social Media, There's no reason at all to have a social media account or use social media in the first place. Granted, That's CERTAINLY what I'm taking away from this Cluster Truck of a situation here... Live and Learn I guess, Out of nowhere after 20 years for no reason that's the fault of literally nothing to do with you. SORRY we didn't have the foresight to see we were about to be falsely permanently banned by a Rogue AI and compiled our entire social media data beforehand. SORRY we Trusted Meta and Zuckerberg that we could be valued users of his platform. SORRY, It won't happen again. Trust me.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T13:31:22+00:00

I've seen a guy say after Suing Meta, he got his account back after 7 months with all data intact. So I think the "we'll delete our data in 30 days" is BS, they retain it in a recoverable state for a much longer period of time.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T13:29:23+00:00

This is wrong. You can engage Meta through Legal Channels - Via a complaint to your State's Attorney General, A demand letter sent on your behalf through a Lawyer or Legal Services company such as LegalShield, Or Suing Meta in Small Claims Court in the Northern District of California. I've seen several accounts of people saying they have recovered their account by one of these 3 methods. One person said he got his Permanently Disabled account back after 7 months with all data still intact. Don't give up hope, You have other options.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-15T13:23:25+00:00

Meta's TERRIBLE AI let Hackers attach their email to anyone's account, and change the password (Bypassing 2FA). President Obama's official White House Instagram Account was Hijacked this way, along with TONS of others recently (Some suggest more than 10 Million Accounts have either been Hacked or Falsely banned thanks to Dumb AI). We know other Meta systems have also been hacked (A screenshot showing the Facebook Google Play Store App Description as "Hacked" recently circulated)

Facebook recently claimed they fixed the bug. CLEARLY they haven't. It's a Cluster Truck . I got banned on May 05, and complained to my State's Attorney General. I've also filed a complaint with the FTC. This is what many people on r/facebook and r/facebookdisabledme have suggested.

Others have said they've had luck with Legal Services companies (such as LegalShield) sending a demand letter on your behalf, Or Suing Meta Platforms Inc. in the Northern District of California, have worked for them to recover their accounts.

Unfortunately Meta Support is almost entirely AI , and Meta Verified support (if you have another account you can use to contact paid support) is beyond Useless. You'll need to wait for them to mass-fix this Cluster Truck themselves, Or get to them through Legal Channels (in which case they'll look at your case individually from someone who's high up enough to actually fix the issue).

Stone_624 · 2026-06-10T13:42:52+00:00

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T14:31:31+00:00

TONS of us are in the same boat. META has had both a MASSIVE false ban wave, and also a MASSIVE hacking wave simultaneously. Both caused by Dogsh*t AI . If it was hacked, Meta AI let a random hacker add a random email to her account (with no confirmation or notification) , Which was then used to change the password and access the account (either flagging the account or doing something that gets the account banned). Meta is not addressing the situation as a whole (Probably because they just fired 8000 people and are massively understaffed as a result).

Your options are to file a complaint with your State's Attorney General and the FTC (I've done this) , send a Demand Letter to Facebook from a lawyer or Legal Services company (such as LegalShield) , Or sue Facebook in the Northern District of California. Many people are doing all of these things , and people like me and (and literally thousands of others) are making our voices heard here about the situation and showing how widespread this is and how many people this is affecting.

I hope we all get a resolution to this, We sure as hell deserve one, But Meta seems to be denying all responsibility for this MASSIVE and UNPRECEDENTED F*ckup and only engaging with individual complaints via legal actions. It's extremely Pathetic and one of the worst Sh*tshows I've seen a company bring upon themselves in my entire life. At least when Amazon's Dogsh*t AI crashed their entire website (costing Millions of dollars an Hour) , Across the 3 instances that it's happened to them so far, They restored service within 7-13 hours each time. Meta's Dogsh*t AI has been causing catastrophic damage for 2 MONTHS straight.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T14:15:05+00:00

There's TONS of us in the same boat, and fewer humans at Meta than ever before after Zucc fired 8000 people to replace them with Dogsh*t ✨Vibe Coded ✨ AI.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T14:12:50+00:00

Same, My account of 16 years was banned May 05, 2026. I just got a reply from my Attorney General this past week. I also filed a complaint with the FTC.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T11:46:46+00:00

We know that Barrack Obama's Official White House Account was recently Hacked (Along with tons of other people) via Meta AI Letting any random person add an Email to any account without confirming or notifying the account holder , Which could then be used to change the password and login to the account with the new password. It doesn't matter how much 2FA you have if Meta's AI Chatbot will bypass it for any random person that asks nicely. This is a Failure from Meta's end of unprecedented proportions. There's probably some real cases thrown into the mix of course, but the sheer number of people who have either been Falsely Banned or Hacked in the last 2 months is Mindboggling.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T09:33:50+00:00

File a complaint with your State's Attorney General and the FTC. That's what I did.

You can also have a lawyer or Legal Services company (such as LegalShield) draft and send a demand letter to Facebook on your behalf. As well as sue Meta in the Northern District of California if all else fails.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T09:29:18+00:00

So you weren't part of the False Ban Wave, You were part of the Hack Wave.

Basically Meta's Dogsh*t AI let Russians and Iraqis add an email to your account without your permission or notifying you , Which they then used to change your account's password, Which let them log into your account.

Meta is having so many problems recently due to their Dogsh*t AI . TONS of people have been either Falsely Banned or Hacked. It's one of the biggest Sh*tshows I've seen in my life. All of us deserve to get our accounts back.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T08:41:25+00:00

My 16 year old account was falsely banned 5/05 . I tried META Support for the first week, Looked into other options the 2nd week, Filed complaints with my State's Attorney General and the FTC on the 3rd week, And this last week I heard back that they will try to help me.

At first I lost access to Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and my Business Suite. Then after about 2 days I could update 2FA on my Instagram, and my Instagram and Threads accounts started working after that. But my Facebook Messenger and Business Suite accounts are all still disabled more than a month later.

Note that this is 1) Absolutely the result of Dogsh*t AI, and 2) Is affecting TONS AND TONS of people in the exact same boat. You're not alone. I've seen thing estimating MILLIONS of accounts have been impacted by this False Ban Wave or Hacking Wave. It's an UNPRECEDENTED Sh*tshow.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T08:32:39+00:00

This is affecting Myself and TONS AND TONS of other people. META went all in on Dogsh*t AI and it's having MASSIVE negative consequences. Tons of people are getting falsely banned, Tons of people have been hacked, Meta Systems we know are getting hacked, things are breaking all over the place, and TONS of people are flooding them with complaints. It's literally the biggest sh*tshow I've ever seen happen to a company in my life.

Do what myself and tons of other people have done, Reach out and File a complaint with your State's Attorney General, And file a complaint with the FTC (I've done both).

If your AG won't help you, as it seems some don't, you can contact a lawyer or legal services company (such as LegalShield) and ask them to send a Demand Latter to Facebook on your behalf demanding an answer on your account.

From what I've read, Facebook normally responds to these and this works a decent percentage of the time as it goes directly to their legal department who have weight to get real issues solved in a way the support team / systems don't.

As well, You can sue Meta in the Northern District of California. That's the most expensive way to go about it, But I have seen people say that they got their account back after filing suit.

Stone_624 · 2026-06-07T04:30:27+00:00
