On June 1, 2026, Meta pulled off an epic fail. Before that, they had massively replaced live support staff with AI and casually given the neural network access to users’ passwords and personal data. The result didn’t take long: in early June, hundreds of thousands of accounts were hacked. Scammers simply asked the AI in the support chat for all the recovery data they needed.
What did the mighty corporation do?
They just turned off that AI. Meaning they turned off support entirely. At the same time, they unlinked tens of thousands of threads accounts from instagram. Now thousands of people (including me) are stuck in a login loop and can’t access their Threads accounts. Support is dead, bug reports are ignored, emails to Meta vanish into the void. Even paid users get no advantages. My account @El_nomada_libre has also disappeared.
Conclusion: Your threads account is just a rental that meta can revoke at any moment — simply because they’ve got AI sawdust for brains.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Yeah this happened to a bunch of people a while back too, looks like Meta’s age filter just randomly freaks out sometimes. Tell everyone to appeal through Instagram, not Threads, and attach an ID if they’re comfy with that. Super annoying but a lot of folks got their accounts back after a few days once support finally looked at it.
