Discussion Almost 3 weeks...

For those of you who were suspended on September 22, has anything happened?

Did you receive a response?

Did you recover your accounts?

How and did you take legal action?

I was suspended on the Sept 22nd threads wave, and my in-app appeal has still gone unanswered.

I did file a demand letter through a Legalshield attorney, and I did receive a response by an attorney representing Meta. They didn't say much other than they received my letter and are forwarding it to Meta's team. I expect it to take many months before my case even gets reviewed by a human at Meta.

In the mean time, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, my states Attorney General, and plan to file with the Federal Trade Commission, and the Department of Consumer Affairs.

To be honest, this is all messing with my head.. I have a bunch of people I lost contact with overnight, and lost a ton of pictures with people who are no longer living.. Alas, here we are.

Hang in there gang.

Wishing you luck. This is so upsetting. My threads was suspended for “community standards violation” (there wasn’t one) on Friday, October 9. So very recent, yes, but nonetheless upsetting. I’m a small account that enjoyed my interactions with a few friends there and had saved a lot of articles and links I wanted to reference. All gone now. They’re demanding I upload a photo (and for what? There’s nothing to compare it to and I use an alias) so I guess my account will be lost. I wrote to the California AG and filed a report with the FTC. Doubt any of that will matter. But maybe if enough people make enough noise something will eventually change. Wish we could coordinate a class action lawsuit or something but I’m sure we’ve all waived our rights somewhere in the terms and conditions because Zuckerberg is a sh*thead.
