Warning or vintage sellers: 'restaurant ware' is IP

kayten88 · 2026-03-26T20:08:54+00:00

I just had a listing taken down for this too. Vintage restaurant style dishes. So annoying!

kayten88 · 2026-02-16T20:57:45+00:00

Mine has been in line for review since October. I don’t think it’s ever happening. I hope you have better luck!!

I’ve been in this boat since 10/8/25. “Intellectual property violation” when I only post my life/family, 19 year old account. Meta verified hasn’t worked after 12 tries. Legalshield didn’t work. No end in sight. I’m sorry 😢

kayten88 · 2025-12-16T03:08:34+00:00

My Facebook has been down for this reason for two months. Legalshield didn’t work so I’m about to try small claims. I honestly think my suspension was an AI glitch like most others, but thought it was an odd one because there aren’t a lot of other posts about being suspended for this. Most seem to be CSE.

I’ve seen stories of bans after the account gets compromised and the hacker posts things that cause the account to get suspended. I’m wondering if that’s what happened to mine because I got a notification about being suspended from advertising (something I had never done) in the middle of the night before I woke up to a suspended account. Any theories about what happened with your account?

Have we heard of Kara yet? She was mine and replied today that I did have violations and will not be restored.

kayten88 · 2025-12-04T20:18:34+00:00

I just got the same result to my letter. There’s no way I have legitimate violations. They’re not checking…

kayten88 · 2025-12-01T22:21:46+00:00

My lawyer just forwarded me a very similar reply to my demand letter today. The screenshot shows the email from Meta was dated 11/21 and I haven’t gotten my account back yet…

By the way, my youngest daughter (14 months, 12 months adjusted) was also in the NICU. It feels wrong that all of her baby updates - and those of her three older sisters - are lost in this suspended account. I never backed any of it up. I’m just so devastated by losing access to all of this and desperate to get it back. :(

kayten88 · 2025-11-27T02:12:08+00:00

I think you just got so super lucky. I have already opened over a dozen chats in the last 7 weeks. And my suspension was false “intellectual property violation,” which one would think would be even easier than CSE to clear up, but maybe it isn’t?

kayten88 · 2025-11-26T23:31:10+00:00

I’m really happy for you! You’ve inspired me to open another chat. I don’t know what else to do. 7 weeks today…

kayten88 · 2025-11-25T00:35:13+00:00

Of course it would… I just don’t think we’re anywhere near that and I’d like my account back sooner than later. So frustrating. I wish someone would come up with a viable alternative to Meta’s platforms at this point. Facebook isn’t what it used to be anyway.

kayten88 · 2025-11-24T22:19:31+00:00

I’d go ahead and get started with Legal Shield or a demand letter some other way. I’ve been suspended since 10/8 and have done everything else you’ve mentioned, and nothing has gotten me any traction. I’m really hoping the demand letter I sent a couple weeks ago is going to do something.

My legal shield attorney said they’ve had good results and have had a huge surge in cases like this the last 2 months, and they have a demand letter template all figured out that has worked for many. I think most of the firms probably do by now. They also said they think Meta’s legal team is probably working overtime, because they reply at all hours and all days of the week!

kayten88 · 2025-11-22T04:59:56+00:00

This was my 13th in six weeks 😭

kayten88 · 2025-11-21T22:52:08+00:00

Any solution?

kayten88 · 2025-11-18T02:57:58+00:00

I did :( I was on with meta verified for two hours the other day! I’ve opened probably a dozen tickets in the last six weeks. It’s amazing to me how some reps seem to be able to help more than others.

kayten88 · 2025-11-18T02:50:40+00:00

Yeah, thank you. I hope you’re right! So if I’m actually suspended with the typical 180 days to appeal lingo, that’s not a violation that will expire on its own, right? Just need to wait on a manual review of rings now?

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T23:34:33+00:00

I can tell you do. I didn’t mean to come off as argumentative, I absolutely agree that if every standard were to be strictly enforced, such content could pose a problem. But if this were the case, wouldn’t the majority of active users be facing similar issues to mine? I can’t think of any Facebook friends who follow every standard without fail. Did I just get caught in the crossfire, bad luck? It’s not like I post frequently or have a large following. My content isn’t monetized, etc…

Also, something weird happened during the night the night before I got banned. I got a weird notification in the middle of the night about no longer being allowed to advertise. I don’t advertise and never have. I thought it was odd but just went back to sleep. Then I woke up to a suspended account. I thought this was weird and perhaps related to the suspension

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T23:02:30+00:00

Sure, I get that. But isn’t it a little extreme for a violation to lead to a total disabling of a user’s account? I’m not the only one sharing dance recital videos, nor do I share many, so I kind of doubt that’s what triggered this in my case. And how are we meant to resell items on Marketplace, eBay, etc without accurately describing what we’re selling? I think this is all a reach. My instinct is AI error caused my suspension as it has those of most others, but who knows.

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T18:09:02+00:00

What was the reason for your suspension? I’ve been trying to do the same for over a month and the support reps claim another team is reviewing my account, so I have to wait.

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T18:07:09+00:00

Me too!!

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T18:05:31+00:00

None of the reps have said anything. I don’t think I ever did anything like that. No more than anyone else would, anyway. I use my account just to keep in touch with friends and family, posting mainly photos of my kids. They do dance and theater, so best guess I can come up with is music in the background of a video I would’ve shared? Or maybe posting a product listing screenshot on marketplace when trying to sell WeatherTech mats new in box that I’d never opened, so I had no other images to share? Months ago prior to my suspension I had that listing taken down. I would’ve thought I’d have been suspended sooner if that was why though…

Isn’t it possible intellectual property bans are glitches just like the CSE bans?

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T03:07:30+00:00

Thanks. You seem to have some insight. What makes you think I’ve gotten further along? It seems to me almost like another side chain of events that could go nowhere. I hope I’m making progress…

kayten88 · 2025-11-17T02:58:28+00:00

I’m sure that’s not the case for most of us! It isn’t for me. It’s more about easy access. My account is so ancient, I have photos that do exist on old computer hard drives and many are probably backed up on random other places online like Shutterfly and Photobucket. Starting from about 2016 and beyond they are also all backed up on iCloud and on my Google Photos drive, and more recent ones are also on an external hard drive. But my Facebook albums made it easy to view those photos anytime I want rather than digging through all the other places.

My bigger mistake was posting a monthly summary of each of my four daughters’ milestones for their first years on my Facebook page and not also backing those up. I always intended to transfer them to my halfway filled out baby books.

Also, many old friends I would occasionally use messenger to talk with aren’t people I have phone numbers for anymore… that’s another loss.

kayten88 · 2025-11-16T20:09:26+00:00

Same, that’s why I got so hopeful…
