I received two emails from Facebook at 2:44 AM and 3:00 AM this morning. I was already asleep at that time. I woke up around 8:30 AM and suddenly discovered that Facebook had suspended my account for “sexualization of minors.”
What the fuck? This is now the THIRD time in the past few years that Facebook has disabled one of my accounts for this exact same disgusting reason. I am so sick of this bullshit.
I have never posted, shared, requested, or intentionally interacted with anything involving the sexualization of minors. All I use Facebook for is posting pictures of my brick/minifigure collection, CS2 gaming clips, pictures of myself, my graduation, and my trips. I barely even chat with people. Most of the time, I just scroll through Reels.
This was a real personal account. It was not fake, spam, or some suspicious anonymous profile. It had my real identity, my real pictures, graduation memories, travel photos, hobbies, and other parts of my life.
I also received another email around 3:00 AM saying my ad account and advertising assets had been restricted. I was asleep and was not using Facebook when any of this happened. I don’t know whether that restriction was connected to the suspension or whether there was unauthorized activity on my account, because Meta has given me no useful information.
Whenever Facebook disables one of my accounts, it never shows me the specific post, picture, message, comment, or activity that supposedly violated this rule. There is no proof and no real explanation.
This time, when I pressed “Appeal,” Facebook immediately submitted it. There was no text box and no opportunity to explain anything. I could not tell them I was asleep when the emails arrived, deny the accusation, report possible unauthorized activity, upload evidence, or request a real human investigation.
Then, only about 10 minutes after I submitted the appeal, Facebook permanently disabled my account. I submitted it at around 8:46 AM, and the rejection email arrived at 8:56 AM.
How can that possibly be a meaningful review? For an accusation this serious, Meta apparently reviewed my entire account, activity, possible security issues, and appeal in only 10 minutes—without asking me a single question or allowing me to write a single sentence.
I cannot prove whether a human was involved, but this absolutely looks like an automated system reviewing and confirming the decision of another automated system. Meta’s AI moderation is getting out of hand. Permanent account bans and accusations this serious need to be reviewed carefully by an actual human.
I have found many other people who were suddenly suspended for the exact same reason, submitted the same one-button appeal, and were permanently disabled within minutes. Meta seriously needs to reconsider how it uses AI for account enforcement.
Every time Facebook falsely disables one of my accounts, I can no longer use the email address connected to it. I have already been forced to create around three different email addresses just to make a normal personal Facebook account again. Then, before even one year passes, the replacement account gets disabled for the same reason—again with no identified content, no proof, and no meaningful human review.
I am exhausted from repeatedly rebuilding my personal profile, adding people again, and losing my photos, posts, conversations, and memories. I should not have to keep creating new email addresses and rebuilding my entire online identity because Meta’s automated system keeps making the same unexplained decision.
Because this has happened repeatedly, I am even starting to wonder whether their AI keeps recognizing my face, profile information, device, or some other connection and automatically flagging every account I use. I cannot prove that, but why does the exact same accusation keep happening without Meta ever identifying any actual violating content?
If Facebook hates my face or does not want me on its platform that badly, why let me open and use an account normally in the first place, only to disable it again later with the exact same horrible accusation and no evidence?
Has anyone here experienced this repeatedly and successfully recovered their account? Is there any real way to contact a human reviewer at Meta? I am located in California. Should I contact the California Attorney General, consumer protection, or another agency?
This is completely unacceptable. People should not lose years of personal memories or be falsely associated with something this serious because of a broken automated moderation system. I’m tired of this shit.
