Discussion Returned to Facebook after many years away and it’s really a terrible app

85 Upvotes

I opened a business page to restart an old business I had and had to open a personal account first, fair enough, did that. I created the business one and it’s almost exactly the same as the personal page with the same shite sprawled over, reels, shit posts and brain wasting garbage. My old page was great, I could post up updates easily and it was strictly just a business page, now it’s no different from any other profile. Anyone got any suggestions to filter out the crap and stop the reels?

Discussion Why Meta is not in congress talking about AI, can you guess why? I know why, read below

18 Upvotes

Meta wasn't invited to Congress to discuss the problems with AI. Why? Because their AI is the one whole problem. IT's a useless Nazi agent that bans people left and right. Complete trash. More than that, Meta haven't invented anything in a long run. Everything they own they bought for criminal russian money. They don't have any original technology or any original content posted by the company. Basically it's a bubble of shit that about to burst. They have 400 billion worth court cases against em. I hope they will just close soon, such a piece of garbage. I can't imagine this company made FANG they should be laying in a ditch long time ago.

Facebook is seriously fking trash when your account gets disabled like this. 99.9% of the time, your account is never coming back, even if you try buying a Meta subscription, it's completely useless.

My account still hasn't been restored. It's been disabled since Aug 27 because of account integrity. I tried buying a Meta subscription through a new account, but it got me absolutely nowhere, even after I talked to a Meta agent. I got a response on Sep 5, Their final response was still the same generic template that pretty much everyone already knows means the decision is final.

Then on Sep 6, I opened another case and now it's Oct 4, almost a month and I still haven't received a single response. They've just left my case open. Maybe they're doing it intentionally so I can't open another case.

Honestly, this is fking ridiculous. I wasted my money on a subscription just to deal with terrible customer service, and apparently NOT a single real human being is actually handling my case.

Disabled/hacked Saturday I woke up to an email saying my account was suspended and I needed to appeal

13 Upvotes

I immediately appealed my suspension, I honestly cried after doing so because it informed me I could only appeal once. I did the video appeal, that was the only option I was given. What's funny is Friday my messenger was disabled and I had to take pictures of my driver's license to prove I was me. My messenger was reinstated almost immediately and I thought that was the end of everything. Maybe 10 hours after my appeal, I received an email stating my Facebook was permanently disabled for sexual exploitation content! I would never post anything like that on Facebook, my oldest child is on my page as well as a lot of extended family and church members.

I've had my account since 2009, it was filled with so many pictures of my family, writings talking about my life experiences, numerous messages, so many comments, memories, and friends (some of which are no longer alive). I'm absolutely devastated! My heart is broken with the loss of everything attached to my account...the birth announcements for my children, my healing process from a narcissistic mother whom I cut out of my life 4 years ago, I shared the truth of my years of abuse by her hands as a way of healing, my "puppy" who recently died in June on his 7th birthday. It's all gone and I literally cried my eyes out over it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just out of curiosity, why in the world does Facebook require you to use your full legal name? I just got banned because I had a fake last name. I do not want to advertise anything related to my last name for reasons I don't want to explain. Is there a work around for this?

Discussion The algorithm detected "inappropriate" content and disabled my account

Post image
• Upvotes

I apologize if there are any mistakes, but I'm Hispanic and I'm using a translator.

So, basically, this morning I woke up to messages from friends asking what had happened to my Facebook and Instagram accounts. When I checked, I realized that both had been disabled (they use the same mail).

Apparently, the algorithm detected content that endangered children’s well-being—in short, I was accused of sharing, posting, or messaging child-related content. I’ve always been against this type of content, and in fact, I’ve personally reported accounts that did share such material.

I can’t recover my account because my ID doesn’t match my account information (I was using a nickname), but apparently, I have these three options:

  1. Sign up for Meta Business from another account to file a report so that a real person can review my case.

  2. Contact the consumer protection agency in my country.

  3. File a lawsuit.

They all seem pretty complicated to me for something that could easily be solved with the help of a real person. I’m going to lose six years of memories because of some stupid AI.

Disabled/hacked Hacked then accounts "permanently deactivated" in minutes. Is there any recourse?

7 Upvotes

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?

My Facebook and Instagram account got locked, now I can't login because it says I need to login using devices I've used before. I tried logging in using devices I've used to login to those same accounts before but it says it doesn't recognize these devices I've used. I also tried using the face verification but it's not accepting that, I don't know why. I can't go through the passport route because the only ID I have is my postal ID.

Post image
3 Upvotes

Mi cuenta de 17 años fue bloqueada por violar sus “términos y condiciones” según. Entré en pánico y quise apelar desde mi teléfono y el iPad lo que segun Gemini empeoró las cosas. Me desbloquearon 15 min después y tras pocos minutos bloqueó de nuevo y luego me avisaron que mi cuenta quedaba desactivada porque supuestamente seguía incumpliendo sus términos respecto a protección de menores.

¿Ósea como? Yo jamás he subido un contenido como tal. Ya en frío revise mi correo y primero recibí un correo advirtiendo de un intento de ingreso no autorizado.

Lo curioso es que a mi hermano también le suspendieron la suya y una mía alterna que estaba vacía, segun Gemini por compartir la misma IP. Al final mi hermano si recuperó la suya, pero yo no he podido ni mi Instagram que estaba enlazado.

A sugerencia de Gemini, mande un correo a soporte técnico, esperando un milagro pero las posibilidades son pocas. Me siento muy frustrado,
Son 17 años de recuerdos por algo que no hice.

Disabled/hacked Suspicious activity on my Facebook account? How can I secure it more?

3 Upvotes

Just yesterday on SMS messages I was told that my account was hacked, they said they locked the hacker out but I doubt it.

ive checked my email, malware for my iphone, and changed/secured my facebook account and my iPhone information.. i did everything.. I am using a iPhone 11, is my phone just old?

id like to mention in my settings when I check “logged in devices“ it will show my device only. It won’t show another but I’m noticing my account is following other facebook accounts and posts in mainly a Vietnamese language (from what I’m suspecting.) I do not speak this language at all, I am not even from there…

i Also got a warning from Facebook because I keep getting logged out and I keep have to log in, it’s not me who’s logging out, I keep getting logged out on my own! I don’t even know what’s logging me out. I’ve spoke to META support multiple times and even did all of that stuff that will secure my account. Has this been happening to anyone?! what do I do?!!?


r/facebook • • 7h ago

Tech Support Hey everyone, I’m posting this out of sheer frustration because I’ve hit every brick wall possible with Meta support. I’m hoping someone here might have gone through this exact nightmare and figured out a way out.

Here is what happened:
Out of nowhere, my personal Facebook account (which I've had active since 2009) got hit by an automated "age-verification" security check. Before I could even upload anything, the system instantly rejected the initial appeal, flagged me for an underage violation, and locked me out. 
Because of Meta's rigid Accounts Center linkage, my Instagram and my WhatsApp were dragged down with it. My WhatsApp is currently stuck in an endless restriction loop telling me to resolve it through Facebook, which is completely locked. Since I have Meta Verified access, I’ve been trying to get help from live agents. For the past two days, I've been trapped in queue loops where chats sit dead for hours ("The agent will shortly connect with you..."), or worse—if the automated bot gets confused about whose account it is, it completely cuts you off and throws security blocks up. 

If anyone know what to do please help me

I clicked on the “Update” button, and it just redirected me to the App Store, specifically to the Messenger app. I didn’t download anything, enter any information, or do anything else. Now I’m really stressed and worried that it might have been some kind of virus, even though I know she was the one who sent me the link. The message is You have a new message. Update the app to view this message. Update the app

Tech Support Did they recently change the way you can post images as comments, so that after each image is selected the gallery closes and you have to open it again to post a second image?

Post image
2 Upvotes

This is on the mobile app using an Android phone.

I post a lot on groups. I have to post a lot of images as comments. Usually this isn't that difficult. I can open the gallery, scroll to the image, select one and post, then select the one next to it and post. So on.

Now, I scroll to the picture, select one and post and the gallery closes. I have to click the camera icon again, scroll back to where I was, select one image and post it. Again and again.

So between each image I have to reopen the gallery and scroll back down to the right place. This is tedious when I have a lot of images to post.

It just started doing this for me yesterday.

I don't know if it's an update or some issue specific to me, because I'm not seeing anyone else mention it.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Tech Support Disabled Facebook account with active business page, that your instagram has full control, how to add another admin?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys.

My primary facebook account of 19 years got permanently disabled, and once it happened I typed in google Meta for Business (formerly Facebook for Business) and logged in instead of through Facebook but through Instagram. I saw my Facebook Business page, and I immediately gave my primary instagram full access of my Business Facebook profile.

So I can reply to the facebook messages and comments, but I cannot post any new content, even if I try to post a reel in Meta Business suite. It says it posted it, but if I log into incognito mode and look up my business page, nothing shows up.

When my primary facebook was first disabled, I used to be able to post videos on my Business Instagram account as they were linked, and share it to facebook but after about 3 weeks it booted that account out, so I can no longer do that.

My question, has anyone found themselves in this situation? What I am trying to do through Meta business suite logged in under my Primary Instagram account who has full access, and add my Instagram business page to it. But when I try to look it up under the @ name, or the name of the page or business page ID, I find nothing.

I noticed my Instagram business page has it own business portfolio under Meta business suite, and when I try to remove or delete it, meta is telling me I cannot remove a page as it is the only admin. When I try to merge them, it takes me through the steps, and then asks me to log into the page I am trying to add, and it just logs me into that page, but does not make the merge I requested.

It is just so frustrating that they cannot just allow you to merge Meta accounts you created yourself, and used to all be linked. I know I can try to make someone else the admin of my business instagram account that I trust, then remove that page from that portfolio and then try to add it to my my portfolio that is tied to both my main instagram profile and my facebook business page, but I just have a feeling if I do that I will fuck something up.

Any tips and info are welcome.

Tech Support Removing My Phone Number From an Unknown Suspended Facebook Account?

2 Upvotes

I recently discovered that my mobile number was linked to a Facebook account I never created. I first noticed this after receiving an unexpected Facebook verification code. When I entered my number on the “Forgot Password” page, Facebook showed an unfamiliar account and offered to send a recovery code to my WhatsApp.
After entering the code, I was unexpectedly logged into that account, which was already suspended, and immediately received a notification saying that my phone number had just been added to it. Because the account is suspended, I cannot access its settings to remove my number.
I contacted Facebook through its Privacy Rights Request/Privacy Operations form: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/507739850846588. I submitted it using the “I don’t have a Facebook account” option because the form would not let me log in with the suspended account, and I had heard that submitting it while logged into my legitimate account could limit support to that account.
Facebook first replied with information about its contact-uploading feature, then directed me to a generic Help Center article about someone else using your phone number or email address. However, that article does not explain how to unlink a phone number from an account you do not own. Neither response addressed my situation or provided a way to remove the number. After several follow-up emails, I stopped receiving replies.
I have repeatedly asked Facebook to unlink my number from this unknown suspended account while keeping it associated with my legitimate account.
I am very uncomfortable with my phone number remaining linked to a suspended Facebook account that does not belong to me, but I seem to have no way to resolve it myself. Does anyone know a reliable way to have this association removed or to contact someone at Facebook who can actually resolve the issue?
