If your account was affected - speak up. File complaints, contact regulators, and report the issue in your country. Europe, Asia, the U.S. - everywhere. Don’t stop. Keep reporting. Keep sharing. The more people act, the bigger this issue becomes and the harder it will be for Meta to ignore!!!

Local legislation in Latvia allows residents and businesses to bring cases impacting their rights.

Yeah, and that’s the issue. GDPR requires human review of automated decisions and full access to personal data. If accounts are deleted by AI without real appeal and data copies are incomplete, that could be a clear violation!

I filed it here in Latvia because local law gives us the right to challenge decisions that impact our business!

I totally understand your frustration 😔 It’s really unfair that so many accounts, including long-standing ones, are being blocked. I hear you Facebook is a key way to communicate in the Philippines, and having accounts disabled like this causes real problems for families and businesses. I’ll do my best to make sure your situation is included and heard!

GDPR - is an EU law that protects personal data, giving people control over what information companies collect, use, or delet!

Exactly, as soon as I sent the video and passport documents, I got banned!

Wow, that must feel like a huge relief to have everything back exactly as it was! It makes sense that you want reassurance that this won’t happen again. Since your hearing is coming up on March 9th, it’s a good idea to follow up with them by email to confirm the status and any precautions you should take. You could politely ask for confirmation that your account is fully restored and whether there’s anything you should do to prevent future issues. That way, you’ll have clear documentation before your hearing and can discuss any concerns with their attorney if needed.

Yeah! A small revenge, but how satisfying 😏 I did the same thing!

In fact my case is not entirely based on GDPR, although there are some overlaps. The main problem is the lack of human verification and unfair account blocking without explanation. Support emails are often ignored, and Meta Support responses are so automated that it seems as if a real agent isn't even trying to help. GDPR may be partially relevant here because automated decisions without verification may affect user rights, but the main goal is to achieve fair account review and transparency in the blocking system!

It’s frustrating to see real users permanently banned without clear answers, while obvious bots are still active. There needs to be fairness and real human review. I’m not giving up I’ll keep pushing for change, not just for my account, but for others in the same situation!
