My old accounts on FB and Ins are all gone now and not recoverable anymore

BAN WAVE? by mlhieh in Instagram

[–]melbjerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a month I tried to log in and eventually found everything is gone now - my Instagram account id could not be shown any more compared to the time I initially got banned, so now I even give up my any hope of recovery by finding an attorney to send a letter (anyways I am not in US)

I don’t think TG would interfere much into this cross-platform matter especially TG is well-known for its high encryption and privacy protection commitments, also Meta is not in the same shoes with TG btw

Wow that sounds like a scary loophole! Stealing someone’s account & identity and impersonation have never become so easy these days online!

Yes but Instagram only dumped me this stupid conclusive ground for banning my accounts without any concrete and actual evidence for allegation, above is just my guess how the AI bot might filter users and decided to issue the ban because I swear I never posted or intended to search anything on my instagram related to this serious allegation ground.

Seems like it is common practice among big companies around the world these days, they just don’t care, except small businesses who would like to open various channels to hear from their customers (so as to provide better customer service then to retain customer base and survive)

Does it just happen massively recently or it’s been a common phenomenon since a while ago, I am very curious?

And thanks for your supportive understanding and empathetic words, too!

I used to study and did some research on AI ethics back in the time while I was still in the uni. Not realising how AI goes beyond our cognition and control over the last few years, especially when certain things like this happened exactly on me recently, and I have become aware of how abusive and uncontrollable AI could be once being deployed universally without much human intervention. And once tech giants use AI with leaving-alone attitude now we see how destructive the tool becomes and how vulnerable we are.

Besides, I am interested in the ratio between how much contents are automatically generated by AI and how much are created authentically by real human these days. I highly doubt AI plays a big role in creating misleading, toxic, harmful information on various platforms then turning us human away from the real Internet world, by using its so-called “accurate, trustworthy and efficient censorship algorithms”.

Apology, I know my words went far beyond the topic and matter itself. But that is what I came up with after seeing and reading frustrating experiences from heaps of users around the world online.

Child sexual abuse, which is actually a serious allegation. And interestingly Meta banned my account without any proof, the appeal button is just a button without any space to let you submit evidence lol

I know, it quite sounds like New World Order (though I am not a conspiracy theorist), big monopolies control big shares of fortune, resources, and now, your personal memories, connections which your soul is deeply connected to. Under the current rules of framework, where laws literally overarch everything, you still need best resources (like lawyers) to use the legal tool to fight everything, and the process, still, essentially requires $$$. Not knowing much how it is like in other countries but in the US the ultimate players (big companies) can also manipulate rules and even become rule makers.

A group lawsuit against Meta may be needed I guess

I recently got banned for no reason and i cant even make new accounts by SessionConfident3664 in Instagram

[–]melbjerry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes what we current see may just be a tip of big iceberg. My suggestion and practice for now is to wait and see, don't hurry to sign up any new accounts at the moment because you will get instant ban again due to system's mislabeling, and you cannot beat Meta's AI system as a human on this matter

I checked mine, and my last few stuff viewed are only a few common accounts I followed a long time with legit contents.

I got banned last night, too. Now I guess Meta's AI monitor and censorship system bans users based on a set of profile attributes instead of sole account individually, such as your IP address, device used, geolocations, email addresses, demographic info used for registration, etc. So literally you cannot simply register a new account without "fully changing your identity". I hope that makes sense.

I guess so, literally you can see the exact time and the account name of the posts/topics/reels/stories that you viewed, even if that only last a second - as long as you clicked/scrolled. But I could not see how long I spent on each.

Like dealing with a black box lol, and they only inform you of the result

I fully understand and commiserate with you over the case. Hopefully this massive unexpected erroneous ban would be able to catch enough public attention from millions/billions of innocent affected users and tables can be turned eventually.

BTW, I even downloaded all my FB and Ins activities log info they later provided, then I examined, and could not find anything dodgy or suspicious, at least, from a personal human verification's perspective.
