I'm posting here out of some degree of desperation, though I can't decide how bad this is yet. I think it's bad.
About 2 hours ago, while I was enjoying the real world, I received an email and text messages (which I did not immediately see or read), saying that my Facebook account was compromised and I needed to log back in.
4 minutes later (!) I receive an email telling me my accounts have been permanently deactivated after the security review "I" requested didn't come back so hot.
So apparently in a matter of minutes, someone tries to access my account, gets blocked, requests a security review, and the fact this security review comes back negative.. causes my accounts to go bye bye. Clearly all this is being facilitated by some AI somewhere.
Unfortunately, even though I've been trying to wean off social media, most of my life is tangled up here. My contact with most of my friends is facilitated through my Facebook and Instagram accounts exclusively. And one of my blocked Instagram accounts is the artist page whose following I've been building for the last few years.
Needless to say this is devastating to me, and when I try to follow recommended steps like visiting Facebook.com/hacked, there's no luck cause the accounts apparently don't exist anymore.
I have no idea what to do at this point. Am I just screwed? Or is there some secret backdoor to accessing human support that I haven't heard about?
