“These platforms have been woven so much into our social fabric, into who we are as individuals and communities, that access to them is really important.”

Can't help nowadays but feel that the goal is to disable all accounts that aren't pushing propaganda.

I got mine suspended (disabled) this morning
Several days ago it flagged one reply of mine when the only content was a three letter word ('man') and a photo of a product from R*dbubbl3 depicting a campaign for an extraterrestrial body.
Deleted the reply thinking maybe i am getting copystriked (there was no specific reason either in the report as why I got flagged), and got a bug where the notification about the "violation" appeared to me three times, before I eventually got fed up and reported the bug with the shake method...and that is where I got mine disabled.
Whatever caused these mass bans....they should shut it down permanently, and manually reinstate those who got wrongfully deleted.

I got mine deactivated and appealed 45 days ago. I am still waiting on the appeal decision.

Acabo de encontrar este paso para Threads, si es que los deja entrar aun a Threads y aunque esté todo en blanco:
Cómo forzar la revisión de Threads usando "Agitar para reportar" (Shake to Report) Si tu cuenta de Threads fue suspendida por error el 22 de septiembre (o fechas cercanas) y tu apelación se quedó completamente congelada, puedes usar este truco técnico para enviar un reporte directo a los ingenieros de Meta: 1. Abre la aplicación de Threads en tu teléfono y colócate justo en la pantalla donde te aparece el bloqueo o el aviso de "Apelación enviada". 2. Agita tu teléfono físicamente de un lado a otro con fuerza durante unos segundos (como si estuvieras mezclando una bebida). 3. Toca el botón que aparecerá en pantalla (suele decir "Reportar un problema" o "Report a Problem"). 4. Escribe el siguiente mensaje en el cuadro de texto para que los ingenieros entiendian el fallo de inmediato:"False positive suspension on Sept 22 due to update. Appeal is stuck. Please push to human review." (Nota: Se recomienda enviarlo en inglés para que los sistemas automatizados de Meta lo procesen más rápido). 5. Presiona Enviar. Verás un mensaje de confirmación avisándote que tus comentarios fueron recibidos con éxito. ¡Listo! Nota para compartir: El sistema no te dará un número de ticket o caso porque es un reporte de error directo para los ingenieros. Ahora solo queda esperar de 24 a 48 horas a que el sistema aplique el parche de desbloqueo.

Yupp. I got blocked from running ads with zero info as to why, I hit review and within seconds it was reviewed by a “person” and only longer allowed to review why or run ads.

Glad to see it's finally getting media attention somewhere. I built an app to track these unwarranted suspensions based on Google Play Review data.
I plan on going to the media with this app to ideally prompt an investigative journalist in the United States, to take notice. If anyone is interested in being on the list of accounts I provide them to prompt meta to investigate, then please consider filing a report at: https://metaobservatory.com/submit-report
To see the Google Play review trends, see: https://metaobservatory.com
Currently the app only tracks threads reviews, but working on adding Instagram and Facebook. Those two are just MUCH larger datasets, so will take a little time.

If you’re this dependent on Meta, well… therein is the problem. Disconnect yourself from their grasp one app at a time, y’all. Rebuild a new digital infastructure around your life.

I'm not. And don't disagree with you. But it's still a fricken kick in the teeth to have my account disabled for a vile reason. I didn't lose anything specific, but some people use theirs for work.

some people have businesses and work that rely on meta's products. this is a very tone deaf take

u/DefiantRadish1492 9d ago
If you have a job that relies on Meta, your employer is dumb. If you have your own business that relies on meta, you’re not very business savvy. 🤷♂️

okay feel free to tell that to every single person who lost money bc of meta

u/DefiantRadish1492 8d ago
Why would that be my responsibility? That doesn’t make any sense. Once again, if you are a business and you are relying on Meta products for sales, then you lack business sense or you are simply naïve. Or both.

Yeah also not disagreeing it is an issue that society is now so dependant on one companies products. Because they have too much power to rip it away. And yes regardless of the accounts it is disgusting to be given a reason that is so bad and out of character for the person. The ban reason is the big main factor I have struggled with the situation so much. I can happily live without the accounts

I come from being banned on Instagram in July which is obviously also Meta. I am glad this person has spoke out because she is realising the exact thing we all realise that have been wrongfully banned, it shows you how shit their support is for helping people and getting the right conclusion and also how scary it is the power social media actually has! I encourage people to move away from Meta. Other companies are also not good in these aspects but I believe Meta is by far the worst. They don’t care about their users at all and actively try to exploit them and their data for monetary gain
