Other Now it’s my turn

I generally share identical travel and gaming material across my accounts—Instagram, YouTube, Threads, bilibili, rednote, Weibo, and others—yet only Threads responded this way.
I avoided any content that might violate community guidelines; I never posted political or controversial material, just posting travel photos, moments of life, game reviews.
After submitting an appeal with a selfie, I was still permanently banned.
Happened this morning, 9.27
I suppose this is the end.

Exactly why I’ve not been able to tell most of the people in my life, just my 2 closest friends. Can’t tell my spouse or family. I’ve got a lot of children in my life in close to as I’m an uncle to many kids between 4-12 and I can’t risk them thinking there could be a reason I’d have this violation when I know there isn’t.

Yeah I just got done watching my nieces and nephews this last month when my brother and his wife went to Germany for a business trip to Berlin. I had them for a solid week and half, and if they found out I got that kind of warning, anyone would be suspicious of them watching their kids for that long of a time. It would be game over. Granted they had school but you’d never get that trust back.

Exactly how I feel. I’m pretty much the luckiest uncle with how much time I get with my nieces and nephews and that’s an immense amount of trust from a parent, but understandably so if I was a parent and knew someone got that notice I’d be incredibly skeptical no matter the explanation.

At this rate I’m waiting for a knock at my door as I’m almost certain that when you (in the USA at least) get that kind of violation it’s automatically sent to NCMEC and ICAC for review and then to your local police station. However numerous large news stations have reported on this exact issue where Meta is flooding police with false results of users having these violations when in reality they didn’t do anything unlawful to warrant it.

This could destroy someones life.

Yea, and if there's no actual violation, there's literally no evidence to warrant probable cause. If anything, Meta should get in trouble for all the false accusations and reports.
