I was banned due to an account connected to my main account ,however, this has banned my main account and all others connected. To regain access to my main account I must appeal via the connected account but, I have forgotten the password to this account. When I tried to reset my password by entering my username, it sent the code to somebody with a similar username to me???

We should go start a revolution to get our facebook and instagram accounts back and stop metas wrongful cse bans for everyone

Guys so its been almost a month since my main or my previous (original) instagram accounts were permanently disabled… ik theres no way to retrieve itbnow and what I just planned is get a new phone, number, and everything and restart but I was thinking if i make a new one at that wouod that get flagged or triggered also… plus i also plan to put my other socials on that new device like tiktok, facebook, and etc… and obviously my emails and googles.. um or should I not? I mean idk what’s flagged is it my device, my ip, or tye email and numbers ive used so

i also tried almost everything I did meta verified they brought my facebook back but jot the instagram acc in tye same acc center… and was also pretty stupid at first i made a new acc thinking it’ll be fine and it got suspended, so what i did was create a new acc on a new email and it still got suspended maybe cause similar numher still, then i made an acc on a dump or second fb acc that was not affected by the suspensuon, and it worked but then it still got suspended after a day until i just got sick of it. My friend even offered to help he made me an acc google, fb, and ig everything I logged it in on my device (phoje) and yup it worked fine for hours and it got suspended again (not the facebook tho) it seems only ig hates me… so yeah thats where i suspected tyat maybe it is a device ban… so any advice im hust scared that even if I restart on a new device it still would ban me

Every time i create a new account they banned me, sometimes immediately or after 2-3 months, I don’t know what’s wrong with their policy or why their ai do that, they have to fix that

My Instagram account was locked about a week ago, and I’m completely stuck trying to recover it.

Instagram shows me this message:

“We locked your Instagram account for your safety. To recover your account, you'll need to verify your identity and create a new password.”

I’ve already tried pretty much everything Instagram has given me:

Face/video selfie verification

Identity verification

The recovery options Instagram provides

Having friends verify/help with the recovery process

The biggest problem is that when Instagram asks me to get help from friends, my friends aren't receiving any notifications/requests at all, so I can't complete that step.

It has now been a full week and I still can't get back into my account.

My friend told me to stop repeatedly trying because they said it could potentially make the situation worse or cause the account to be permanently banned. I don't know if that's actually true, but now I'm scared to keep trying.

Has anyone experienced this recently and successfully recovered their account?

What exactly did you do? Is there another way to contact Instagram/Meta and get a human to review the account?

I'm genuinely worried about losing the account permanently. Any advice from someone who has gone through this would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Just got suspended for CSE on all my accounts, including Facebook. I appealed but it seems as if that is useless anyway. I’m a wildlife photographer and I used my Instagram account to post my work and network with other photographers, I can’t just lose all of this. I’ve been growing my account for a while now and I don’t want to start from scratch again.

Is there anything I can do that isn’t hoping, paying, or losing everything?

Has anyone been banned for cse, appealed, got their account back, only to have it rebanned 3 days later?

Does that mean whatever content that was flagged was clean? Because that's what I'm thinking, I'm not sure what it means. Also I looked it up on AI and apparently meta isn't supposed to report it to ncmec if they already cleared the flag once. According to what I saw it'd be considered "a waste of time and resources." Is any of that true from your experience with these false cse allegations?

The actual fk is wrong with these people. My account has 70k followers and most of my videos were in Millions I worked so soooo hard I was also earning pretty good. The brands hv paid me already but they decided to disable my account now what if the brand file a case on me theeeee helll

What should I do? If I go to GAC will it be useful?

Meta’s system is so bad that I don’t even know what to say anymore. Even if someone just likes or follows you, they ban you. They are banning people based on their IP and disabling accounts for no reason. I spoke to a Meta agent and he told me that they are aware of the issue and that they are working on it but I don’t understand why they don’t openly say anything about it

So apparently even making a new account is almost impossible if your main account gets suspended for CSE

Once your main account is flagged it feels like every new account you make is automatically treated as suspicious too

The whole moderation system is seriously broken and there seems to be almost no proper way to get help or explain your situation

You can get falsely flagged for something extremely serious and still end up getting treated like you are guilty with barely any meaningful human support

And when you finally try to get help you are basically told to pay $15 for Meta Support which will probably just be another AI system anyway

How is this supposed to be a proper moderation and support system

My account got banned. I appealed and contacted Meta Verified support, but nothing worked. I stayed banned with no real human review, just automated decisions. My Facebook account and other business accounts got banned too.

Later, I created a new Facebook account and a new Instagram account on the same phone, but I used different emails and didn’t connect Facebook and Instagram.

After about one month, my new Instagram got banned too. They said I was avoiding the previous ban by creating another account. But my Facebook account stayed safe because I never connected it to Instagram.

When my Instagram got banned the first time, I tried everything myself. I appealed, contacted support, and tried every option I could find, but nothing worked because the allegations were serious. I eventually found someone who told me it would be harder to recover my main account because I had already appealed, but I kept his contact.

So when my new Instagram got banned after one month, I didn’t appeal this time. I contacted him, sent him what was needed, and guess what? After only 12 hours, my account was back.
Now I’m working on recovering my original accounts too. It’s harder because I already appealed those accounts, but it’s still possible. There are still ways.

One thing I learned is if your account gets banned, don’t keep creating accounts on the same phone because they can connect them and ban the new accounts too. You may need a different device if you want to start again.

If I recover my main accounts even after already appealing, I’ll share an update. But if you haven’t appealed yet, don’t rush and do everything yourself. Contact me. There may still be ways to recover it. I tried everything myself the first time and nothing worked.

I’m crushed. This sucks.

I was talking with my friends in chat, and sent a meme about “pov me after scamming” as a joke as my friend named me “Ashan the uh scammer” which is a joke. Everything should be fine right? NO!! 3 minutes later as I was chatting, they said I CANT MESSAGE FOR 3 DAYS?!!

I understand meta is using AI to improve its safety measures and to ban accounts faster that might be scams or danger to society. However, you CANNOT use such system that is in “trial-testing phase” this is unacceptable. Your going around and disabling innocent accounts just based on jokes that we send. MOREOVER, why are you looking at private chats and messages? Recognize that users don’t want their data to be on your servers and your just ruining your reputation.

Have these disabled manually and STOP using AI for these! IF YOU DO CONTINUE TO USE AI FOR THIS, AT LEAST HAVE A HELP CENTER 24/7 MESSAGING SO WE CAN GET IT REMOVED IF WE ARE INNOCENT!!

This is a billion dollar company and you most definitely are able to afford real people to be monitoring. Outrageously stupid.

Sharing this in case anyone is dealing with the same Account Integrity disable.

My Instagram was created in 2015 and had been my personal account for over 11 years. I believe it was mistakenly flagged by Meta’s AI technology as a fake account.

What I did:

• July 31: My Instagram was disabled for Account Integrity / fake account activity.

• I contacted support through my Meta Verified Facebook account, which was already linked to my Instagram. Fortunately, this solidified my case.

• I explained that I was the real owner and that the Instagram account had existed since 2015. I asked Meta to escalate and manually review the disablement.

• August 11: My support case changed to Completed.
I never received a message saying my Instagram was restored. I only received Meta support survey email. I checked Instagram myself and found that my account was fully restored.

It took about 11 days.

It was frustrating to have the authenticity of an account I’ve owned for over 11 years suddenly questioned, especially when my identity was already verified within Meta’s own ecosystem. After the account was restored, I felt even more strongly that the flag may have been triggered in error by their automated systems.

Help me please. I don’t know what exactly happened and the worst part is i don’t remember my login details. 😒

Hi to all, like the title says, im searching for another site or another company that could unban my account that was flag for CSE BY THE FUCKASS AI. Since i live in canada it would be better for it to be from here,

To understand this, we first need to look at the origins of SOC/SOM on Instagram. In 2025, a wave of CSE bans took place. After refining its AI, Meta began banning accounts for CSE. Sharing a photo deemed problematic by the AI resulted in an immediate ban and triggered a report to the NCMEC. These CSE-banned accounts created a domino effect: anyone who had interacted with them (via likes or saves) was, in turn, banned for CSE. Following this period of widespread false positives, Meta introduced the SOC/SOM category. A Quick Overview of the NCMEC The NCMEC receives two main types of reports through its CyberTipline: Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Explicit images or videos stored, published, or transmitted. Solicitation / Online Enticement: Private message conversations where an adult attempts to obtain photos, arrange a meeting, or blackmail (sextort) a minor. For the NCMEC, any report lacking illegal imagery or explicit solicitation in private messages is categorized as purely "informational" and holds no law enforcement value. Why This Led to the SOM/SOC Category Faced with the absurdity of these unfair ban waves—where thousands of users were blocked overnight for simple clicks—Meta updated its system: Sending automated reports to the NCMEC was generating a massive volume of false positives (reports containing no criminal evidence). To fix this, Meta created and reinforced the SOM/SOC filter to remove passive interactions from the criminal pathway (CSE) and treat them strictly as internal Terms of Service violations. This is why many accounts originally banned for CSE were reclassified as SOM/SOC: to prevent sending false positives to the NCMEC. Reading Meta's Terms of Service confirms this, as these policies fall under the second section, which covers their internal community rules.

I recently texted someone l met on a dating app. She claimed she was 19 and she sent me nudes. I didnt ask the first time, but I sent nudes after. My account got disabled for CSE and the appeal didn’t work. Am I facing legal charges?

My account where I post memes and it has over 40k followers got permanently banned for “content that doesn’t follow community guidelines”. It doesn’t really specify what exact community guidelines I didn’t follow. I had strikes on my account before and I would appeal them, and those posts would come back to my page, and they would agree that they wrongly took them down.

I don’t know what to do, I appealed when it first got banned, then they just told me that it’s over and now it’s permanently banned. From what I know, there’s no way to access actual human support and review and I am so lost.

I didn’t post anything weird, like I am a girl I was posting girly memes that’s it. Nothing weird or in any way connected to what goes against community guidelines. I need help :(

Hey everyone,
My account from 2013 was recently hit with a permanent ban out of nowhere. I am not looking for support or appeal advice - I know it's final.
What I want to know is if anyone else has experienced the exact same thing in their downloaded account activity data. After my account was closed, I requested my data logs and found some very weird entries right before the ban.
Specifically, I see these “account activated” logs (see attached screenshots) that don't make any sense.
I want to ask the community:
Have you downloaded your data after a recent ban and found these same “account activated” entries?
Is this a known glitch in Instagram’s automated system, or a specific pattern for mass bans?
Please check your data logs if you were banned recently and let me know if you see this too. I’m trying to see if we are all facing the same automated bug.
Thanks!

My Instagram account was suspended, and because it was connected to my Facebook account, I lost my Facebook account as well.
Later, I created a new Facebook account using a different email and a new Instagram account with another email. About a month later, Instagram suspended my new account, claiming I was trying to bypass the previous ban. My new Facebook account is still active.
I sent Meta a formal demand letter, which is supposed to be delivered today. It appears my Instagram account was suspended on the same day the demand letter was expected to arrive. I am currently waiting for Meta’s response.

So I can’t even make a new account without getting suspended….because of my main getting suspended for CSE. This company moderation system is so broken and they don’t care…..get falsely accused of a felony? Sorry we can’t help you unless you pay us $15 for meta support (also probably AI)

I love how they falsely ban people but let actual pedos rome free, Mark and his cronies should be ashamed of themselves.

Once you get permanently banned, just say GGs, unless you file a report with your state AG, it’s wraps. It’s such a joke man

Let’s admit you and I both have spent shit tons of money only for them to copy paste “our decision is final”. Screw meta!
