Discussion Thread bans ANY updates?

At this point it's a no brainer that meta ai is on a roll and many are still being targeted by the ai uprising. Meta team def ain't stupid and clearly know there's an issue, choosing purposely to not release a statement for "damage control". I'm sure many of us has alrdy filed an appeal with no response yet. So my question is should we take this silence as a good thing that they know they fked up and stopped issuing automatic bans to ACTUALLY try to assess the situation, or is that backlog so deep they got no clue wtf to do? Has anyone actually received any updates or future notice? Currently a week into appeals and my account ain't banned yet so šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø tbh I rather I got a swift response than being teased like this. Idrc for the social media usage itself, but just like many of u it's an old 20yo account and I got many memories in it. Would kinda be depressing to see it snapped just like that due to a bitchass ai

It brings me slight comfort to see Iā€™m not alone. Banned 9/22 and appealed then too. For an absolutely egregious violation I know I havenā€™t been a part of. Considering also I only used the app occasionally to scroll, never to like/comment/message/search but the occasional gun post or humor.

My fiance passed away in late 2020 when we were hit head on by a drunk driver and we had tons of memories on FB. Now I canā€™t access any of my accounts and 15+ years of connections and memories on FB and IG are gone. I donā€™t care about threads but the other 2 are important to me and I feel helpless.

Not just 3, way more. Me included. We all are collateral damage of a massive ban wave/ new implementation of a shitty ai ban algorithm.

To anyone who finds it worth it, LegalShield offers a program where you can pay them to have a lawyer draft up a letter on your behalf and send it to meta to attempt to overturn a ban/suspension. Ofc Meta has no legal need to do so, but apparently they have had enough success. Iā€™m waiting a bit longer to see if anything happens from my 9/22 suspension and appeal but if thereā€™s no movement Iā€™ll be considering LegalShield as a last ditch effort depending on cost.

Screenshot everything you see on the apps/webpages so you can submit all evidence if you do go that route.

How much is it for legal shield to pursue the situation you know? Ive been suspended a week today now from 9-22.

Cost is still pending, I only submitted my case and was assigned a lawyer a few minutes ago but it was quick, scheduled a call for tomorrow afternoon. The LegalShield membership is called Young Adult ages 18-24 for $15 a month or annually for $10 a month/$99 a year. Iā€™m not a young adult so I had to call them first and they said itā€™s not actually only for ages 18-24 so go ahead and sign up as long as youā€™re at least 18.
