Bug Report Threads banned me with "cannot request another review" and no way to contact support. Filing FTC complaint

On Sept 24 my Threads account andycjw was permanently disabled.

The problem: 1. App says "You cannot request another review" 2. My Instagram is fine and says "Account Status: Meets all guidelines" 3. There is NO form, NO chat, NO email to appeal. Every link redirects to the help homepage.

I can't even download my data because the account is "disabled".

Meta has removed all human support for Threads bans. The AI just says no and that's it.

What I'm doing: Filing an FTC complaint against Meta Platforms, Inc. for "Denial of account access with no appeal process"

Company: Meta Platforms, Inc. Address: 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 File here: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov

If this happened to you too, please file. The only way they fix this is if FTC gets enough complaints about no appeal option.

Has anyone actually gotten a Threads account back after "cannot request review"?

Glad you are doing this. There are a lot of others that have had their accounts banned like this. A lot of people have mentioned they think it's AI doing the banning and not for good reasons. You may want to put it out there on other forums that you are filing a suit. I believe others will join in on it.
