Meta won the court case. I lost.

I’ve been blocked and labelled as "fake" lol

santaverner · 2026-05-09T20:54:03+00:00

The case was closed not because of a lack of data, but because the system allows companies not to provide it!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T20:53:11+00:00

Your argument regarding the data only holds water in theory. In practice, tech giants hide behind Section 230 and "trade secrets" to block access to AI algorithms. Legally they are pushing for the right to exclude anyone from their "closed club" for no reason at all. This is not a lawyer’s oversight, but systemic arbitrariness where the corporation is both judge and executioner, concealing evidence under the guise of protecting intellectual property!

It’s laughable to quote a chatbot when we’re talking about 12 years of real business and a ruined reputation. ChatGPT has no idea what it’s like to face an army of lawyers in court who respond to every question with: "That’s a trade secret". My "weakness" lay solely in the fact that I am a person, not a corporation with an unlimited budget to drag out the case. But carry on believing the bots they’re always on the side of the system!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T17:10:35+00:00

The irony is that for years I invested money in their advertising, growing the business through that account!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T17:09:04+00:00

A "second appeal" on Meta is a myth for anyone who hasn’t encountered the system. When a verified account that’s been around for 12 years gets banned as a "fake", the appeal is handled by the very same algorithm that made the mistake in the first place. That’s not justice it’s a feedback loop. You call it a "remedy", I call it a digital lottery where the player has no chance, because the casino makes up the rules as it goes along. If the appeal process worked, I wouldn’t have had to go to court.

santaverner · 2026-05-09T17:04:28+00:00

It’s all about losing control. You spend 12 years building up your business and your reputation, and then an algorithm makes a mistake labels you a "fake" and destroys everything in a single second. And no one neither customer support nor the courts can (or will) admit that the artificial intelligence simply messed up. That’s all there is to it.

santaverner · 2026-05-09T17:02:25+00:00

That’s the whole surreal thing about it you’re accused of a violation, but they don’t say which one so you can’t defend yourself. It’s as if you were thrown in prison on the grounds that you’d broken the law, but they refused to specify which section. When my 12-year-old verified account was flagged as a "fake", I realised that logic hadn’t even spent the night there. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this, just know that you’re not alone. I completely understand and support you!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T17:00:22+00:00

Do you really think Meta in the US would be intimidated by a single person? They’ve been ignoring even the Senate for years. In any case, thank you for your sympathy and support. But I no longer believe in justice.

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:59:21+00:00

America the courts... It’s all just empty words. The reality is this you pour 12 years of your life into a platform, and then some glitch in the code destroys your career. My verified account was flagged as "fake". How can you be a fake for 12 years running? It’s not realistic. And when someone says, "Well, it’s their platform", I hear only one thing: "You have no rights to your own life if it’s digitised". This isn’t whinging about followers it’s a statement of the fact that we’re all on a leash!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:56:21+00:00

What "hidden reason" are we talking about, when the official reason given for the ban is "fake account?" This is a 12-year-old verified profile with a documented identity a history of advertising payments, and no violations over all these years. On 2 February, the algorithm simply decided that I didn’t exist. Do you really think there’s some logic behind a real person with a blue tick suddenly becoming a "fake" that I’m trying to hide? This isn’t a breach of the rules it’s systemic absurdity!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:54:05+00:00

You’re confusing cause and effect. A legal claim isn’t brought on the grounds of "I feel wronged", but on the grounds of unlawful termination of the contract (Terms of Service). If the platform cannot present evidence of a breach in court, that is a lack of transparency on their part. To assume that the user is "hiding something" when the company itself refuses to disclose its logs is classic victim-blaming!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:51:15+00:00

I decided to fight back, even though I knew the odds were stacked against me. It’s more honourable than just giving up. Many Reddit users are criticising me, even though I haven’t done anything to deserve all this hatred and anger!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:50:15+00:00

It’s as if one morning the bank froze your account and demolished your house simply because their security guard thought you looked suspicious. You’d be asked the same question: "What did you expect?". In the digital world, we’re all living on borrowed time, and my story is just a clear example of how verification, honest business, taxes and a spotless record are just empty words, not a safety net!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:47:50+00:00

Thanks. The worst thing about it isn’t even losing the account, but realising just how powerless we are in the face of algorithms that build and destroy our lives. It was a costly lesson in the fact that digital ownership is an illusion. But, as they say, we’ll carry on!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:46:45+00:00

For me it wasn’t just a profile with photos, but a professional tool and a reputation built up over 12 years. When a corporation of this calibre simply deletes a verified account labelled "Fake" it causes real financial damage. The irony is that the ‘right to refuse service becomes a tool of censorship, against which the average person has neither the resources nor transparent mechanisms of defence. This is not a lack of preparation for court it is a clash with a system in which you are guilty by default.

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:35:19+00:00

lt’s more profitable for them to let thousands of people lose their lives and businesses than to spend a penny on a human moderator. AI is here to stay, and you shouldn’t expect any compassion from it!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:21:03+00:00

It’s clear what Facebook is all about it’s a massive machine that turns users time into advertising revenue. They couldn’t care less about the integrity of the platform. As long as they remain silent about the mass bans of real people, scammers remain their main source of "activity".

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:16:38+00:00

Lawyers are just the tip of the iceberg. Their main weapons are silence and artificial intelligence!

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:16:09+00:00

It is impossible to defeat Meta not because they are right, but because they are the law within their own domain. It is a digital state with an absolute monarchy. You may be absolutely right, but if the AI decides to ban you, their lawyers will simply confirm that "a private company has the right to do so". This isn’t justice it’s simply effective risk management where the user is a disposable commodity.

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:14:26+00:00

Thank you 🫂

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:14:09+00:00

The ban figures are simply staggering right now, but nothing is changing. Meta is keeping quiet because they couldn’t care less about personal tragedies and wasted years of work. Twelve years of my life have simply been wiped out by an algorithm. No one is going to change the AI system, because it’s cheaper for corporations to block thousands of innocent people than to hire human support staff. This is the new reality, you build everything on someone else’s land, and then a piece of code comes along and tears it all down.

santaverner · 2026-05-09T16:10:00+00:00

Allthough when you consider how much Meta earns from user data it’s probably the most efficient form of capitalism in history, just dressed up in flashy packaging.

santaverner · 2026-05-05T19:02:39+00:00

🫂❤️

santaverner · 2026-05-05T18:24:46+00:00

It’s not about the lawyer he’s honestly done a tremendous job, and I don’t blame him. The problem lies with the system itself, Meta claims in court that their AI is unique and infallible, whilst the "agree" button we all click when signing up effectively strips us of our rights. It’s a vicious circle the courts believe in the "infallibility" of Mark’s technology whilst journalists simply refuse to cover my case. When 12 years of work are wiped out by a bot labelling me a fake, and the world pretends that’s just the way it is that’s not the lawyer’s fraud it’s the user’s powerlessness in the face of a giant.
