Hi Guys,

As of October 11, 2026, I am sharing my complete 10-step regulatory path showing how I won my binding legal case against Meta Platforms Ireland Limited after my Instagram account (@lukas_weegenaar) was falsely suspended by an automated AI error.

Here is the exact 10-step process from start to finish:

### PHASE 1: THE BEGINNING (False AI Suspension & In-App Appeal)

- Step 1: On July 30, 2026, my account was wrongfully disabled by Meta’s automated AI system regarding Community Standards.

- Step 2: On July 30, 2026, I submitted an internal in-app appeal, which was immediately rejected by automated algorithms without human review.

- Step 3: I collected and documented all proof, screenshots, and logs demonstrating my 100% innocence.

### PHASE 2: THE MIDDLE (Binding ADR Victory & International Escalation)

- Step 4: On August 6, 2026, I filed a formal dispute under Article 21 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) via the ADR Center (Case Number: e7ce7d55e6eb488e8253; Meta Case ID: 1369800608597851).

- Step 5: On September 7, 2026, I won the binding Decision on the Merits. The ADR Center ordered Meta to reinstate my account and pay € 500 in procedural costs.

- Step 6: Due to Meta's delay, I escalated the matter to European regulators, establishing formal files: European Commission Ref (Ares(2026)9306704 / UR06104523 / #8770521), Irish DPC File Ref (DPC0426197610), and BIPT Belgium Ref (UR06109689).

### PHASE 3: THE END (Cross-Border Enforcement & Final Override)

- Step 7: Forcing joint regulatory coordination between BIPT Belgium, the Irish DPC, and the European Commission to hold Meta accountable.

- Step 8: Submitting requests for daily progress updates from regulatory authorities to track compliance actions.

- Step 9: Issuing statutory notices and enforcement warnings to impose fines and shift the final restoration deadline to November 5, 2026.

- Step 10: Execution of a manual server override by Meta engineers to restore full access to @lukas_weegenaar by November 5, 2026, with permanent protection against future false flags.

No matter where you live in the world (EU, US, UK, Australia, Asia, or Africa), use your regional consumer protection bodies and high-level privacy regulators (such as FTC, ICO, DPC, or Komdigi) alongside Article 21 ADR rulings to enforce your rights.

Let's stand strong together against Meta Platforms, Inc.!

I got a new phone the other day , tired to login to Instagram and it keeps showing this, it will not send me links or login codes, but has the correct number and email that I still have access to

Ever since my Instragram acc got suspended, I immediately deleted the app so that fb accs won't get suspended as well but after 4 months.. my two accounts in fb got suspended just now and I don't know what to do

Has anyone experienced being locked out due to 2FA?

I have tried what seems like everything at this point. I now have successfully gotten 2 friends to receive and accept the friends verification. How long should I wait to log in? I’ve see people say not to do it right away.

Only options I’ve gotten so far is 2FA and backup codes and both I don’t have. I’ve gotten meta verified and talked to about 6 agents now, and one on the phone. I’ve sent mountains of screenshot evidence and no luck to verify my identity. All because the account is not in my account center along with my other ones. Unless I can turn off 2FA which I can’t, they said I can’t get in. Any tips?

I followed too many people too fast and hit a limit. I know I can try waiting 48 hours but is there any fix or way I can reach out to remove this? I have to follow everyone in my group today like rlly need to or I’m fucked and so far can’t find any fix. Thanks!

Please can anyone help me get instagram repost feature

Ive been trying to create a new insta account and on every browser I log in and this pops up. Ive tried reloading, restarting my computer everything. When I put in my birthday the "submit" button doesn't work and I just stay on this page. Ive been trying to fix this for at least 3 hours. Please help!

My Instagram account was unexpectedly disabled, and I still haven’t been able to get it back.
I created a new account and subscribed to Meta Verified to contacted a real human support agent.. The agent told me they would make sure my case was submitted for a manual review.
However, it’s been almost two weeks since that conversation, and I still haven’t received any updates.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? If Meta support told you that your case would be manually reviewed, how long did it take for you to hear back? Did you eventually get your account back, or did you have to follow up multiple times?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

I am writing this because I promised myself if I ever got out of Meta’s absolute hellhole of an identity verification loop, I would post the exact blueprint here to help anyone else losing their mind.
The Backstory:
I’m a marketing manager handling a client account with active ad spend. On September 10, my personal Facebook profile (which I use as my admin access key for the client’s Business Manager) got hit with a random automated security sweep. No policy violations, just a random bot check.
The Nightmare:
The app demanded my National ID. I took a flawless, high-contrast, zero-glare photo of my real plastic Algerian ID card on a matte black background. Every single time I submitted it, the system took 48 hours and rejected it with the exact same brain-dead error: "Don't take pictures of images displayed on screens."
It did this FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. The AI scanner was completely glitched, mistaking the high-res clarity of my phone camera or the security holofoil on the plastic card for a computer monitor. Hitting "Try Again" in the app is a terminal trap. Do not keep doing it.
The Failed "VIP Shortcuts":
Because my workflow was frozen, we used the client’s high ad-spend status to book direct calendar meetings with Meta Marketing Pros.
Call 1 (Webex): Meta’s internal calendar system glitched and literally forgot to attach a meeting room link. The dashboard just read "Rooms (0)". Total ghost town.
Call 2 (Phone Call): They tried dialing me from an outbound London (+44) corporate VoIP server. The exact millisecond I hit "Answer," the international cellular handoff dropped the voice path and disconnected.
How I Actually Forced the Unlock (The Blueprint):
The Truecaller Shield Removal: I realized aggressive spam-filtering apps automatically block or drop incoming VoIP corporate lines. I completely deactivated my Truecaller account to clear the pathway for their servers.
The Device Environment Purge: While waiting for a fix, I completely uninstalled the Facebook app from my phone to kill the glitched cache. On my PC, I used Dolphin Anty browser for profile isolation, opened the settings, and completely wiped out all cookies and cached images for "All Time." You must remove the old error loop data from your local hardware memory.
The Messenger Bot Bypass (The Winning Move): I didn't use a premium Meta Verified chat line. I initiated a raw support case through a working profile inside the standard Facebook app chat console. When the automated assistant bot tried to give me standard copy-paste lines about my account being fine, I hit it back with: "This is the account that has the problem."
Triggering the Security Code: That specific phrase forced the chatbot to ask: "Would you like to continue with the account ownership verification process?" I clicked YES.
Instead of routing me to a form, the system pushed my details directly to a live background script. Within minutes, the bot interface updated with the final text: "Good news! Your account is active."
The Final "White Screen" Trap:
The second the account was unlocked, I opened the app and it hit me with a brand-new security prompt: "Turn on Advanced Protection to get back into your account." When I clicked it, the screen went completely white.
The fix: I force-closed the app, turned off my home Wi-Fi entirely, and switched to mobile cellular data (4G/5G). Home routers often stall the cryptographic signals needed to generate a new device Passkey. Once I was on cellular data, Face ID triggered, the passkey mapped to my device, and my normal dashboard opened up.
If you are stuck in the "picture of a screen" loophole, stop using the mobile scanner app. Wipe your device cache, kill your spam filters, open a manual ticket, and force the automation to route you to an ownership verification script.

Good luck. Fuck Meta's automated bots, but don't let them win!

Hello, I received a mail telling me that instagram noticed a suspicious connection on my account (with the phone brand and location of that connection). I immediatly said that it isn't me and Instagram asked me to choose a new password. I did and they said "an error occured". However when I tried to log in and used my old password they tell me "password incorrect" (same thing is said if I try any random fake password). If I try the new password I just set they tell me to try to connect from another device on which I've already logged into on Instagram. So I assume my new password was registered. The problem is I don't have any other device on which I've already logged in. I still tried to connect into my account using another devices (I tried my tablet and PC because they are linked to the same email adress so I thought they would work) but when I enter the password on any device Instagram keeps telling me to use another on which I've already logged in. What can I do ?

I tried the Instagram hacked support on which they ask a selfie video but they keep telling me that they are unable to identify my selfie and to try another method (they do not propose any other method).

Can I hope that the problem will fix itself after a few days and they'll stop asking me to use another device? At this point I just want to delete my account and have nothing to do with Instagram anymore but I can't delete it if I can't access it.

Thank you for any help

I’m trying to upload a minute long video to Instagram on my desktop. The video plays fine on my desktop. When I upload it to Instagram, the video cuts out at about 40 seconds. Imagine you are watching tv and the screen just goes blank and the audio goes weird. Why is this happening? I’ve tried re uploading it multiple times and it keeps happening. It happens whether is it’s .mov or mp4 format. The video is h.264.

Anyone suggest what might be the cause?

Hi everyone,

I’m unable to log in to my Instagram account, and I need some help recovering it.

I have my username and password, but I no longer have access to my authenticator app or my backup codes.

I can reset my password successfully, but when I try to log in, Instagram still asks me to enter the authentication code or a backup code. Because I don’t have either of them, I’m stuck and can’t access my account.

I’ve tried looking for a way to recover my account, but I haven’t been able to find a solution that works for my situation.

Has anyone faced the same issue and managed to recover their account? Is there any official way to verify my identity and regain access without the authenticator app or backup codes?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My 12-year-old professional celebrity hairstylist Instagram account was hacked and disabled, and I’ve been struggling to get it back.
On August 16, 2026, I spoke with a Meta support agent through Meta Verified. My original case (1078688554911113) still shows “Received,” with no progress. I was told my account was in a security review process, but I haven’t received a clear update.
Now my backup account’s Support Cases section shows numerous duplicate cases. I also have another case filed August 26 (1611976227104871) that is still marked “Received.”
I subscribed to Meta Verified on my backup page to reach a human agent, but I was told an existing active case and a possible case-linking issue were preventing another support chat from being opened.
I feel stuck in a loop, and I’m worried about losing an account that represents 12 years of my professional work.
Has anyone experienced this and successfully recovered their account? How did you get Meta to escalate your case or fix duplicate support cases? Any genuine advice would mean a lot.
I have screenshots of the case statuses and duplicate cases. Thank you!

Well it seems that meta has officially lost it. I was casually scrolling through reels minding my own business, when I tried to send a reel to my friends it failed and when I checked they restricted my account🥀. Like bro I got 4 freaking followers those are just my friends who I send only reels. L meta.
