| Being harassed by bully via mock group on Facebook | This page "Adam's Succulent Stash of Corn and Memes" was created by a man named Jason French. He created the page to bully me because he was mad that my friend banned him from MY group "Adam's Succulent Corn" which I have since left the group hoping he would stop. He didn't. He will post memes of me and my dead grandfather and spread lies about me when he barely even knows me. Never met him in person. I've gone to the police over this and have reported the page and the content countless times and it's been going on for 3 months now. He's using a photo of me from 2012. He deletes the posts then just keeps making new ones. My friends and family have asked him to stop numerous times and all he does is try to cause drama with them | Bullying | Freshdesk | 6/28/2021 7:19pm | |

| Hacked account, 2FA, no help | My account was hacked in the middle of the night on 6/29. The hacker turned on 2FA so all my attempts to log in were met with this obstacle. I used the appropriate FB form to verify myself which included a pic of my state issued ID. Facebook did send me a link to confirm who I was and I was able to change my password, however, the 2FA was STILL in place at the end of my verification so it was basically useless. Also, I was given another message that said I was possibly not old enough to be on FB! I read the FB forums and saw another person had this happen as well. I'm at my wits end about what to do now. I just want to get back in, download the 15 years of pics/vids and be done with FB. I also have anxiety about what the hackers are doing with my info. Further, this event coincided with the new alarming "report your friends for extremism" BS that FB has rolled out so....there's that. Is it connected?

| Account I use for my small business was hacked & info changed | My account was hacked. The hackers act fast- I noticed the email notification that my info was updated 12 minutes after it was sent. By then, all my account's info had been changed & I could not recover it. It's been extremely frustrating as there are literally no publicly accessible ways to get human support. The automated tools do not work when your associated email has changed. Since this incident, I have been unable to access my business or personal page. I've tried everything I could think of- even sending out dozens of messages to Facebook employees on LinkedIn. Nothing has worked. | Hacked | Online Form | June 30, 2021 | 7/6/2021 2:39pm |

| Hacked and disabled | Woke up this morning to a text from Facebook at 3am that someone was attempting to enter my account. I had the two way indentifier on but it didn’t matter. I can see their email included with my email. I’ve tried every thing listed under the poor excuse for a help center and nothing works. It won’t even accept my forms of ID to identify myself. I’ve had my account since Facebook first came out and you needed a .edu email to join, over 12 years of posting, memories, and pictures are currently gone. | Hacked | Online Form | July 7, 2021 | 7/7/2021 6:27pm |

I obviously did not do this, but now I have 30 days to appeal or my Facebook and Instagram are permanently disabled. The appeal form never submits past the point where I provide my driver’s license, it say sI need to sign into facebook to confirm my identity, but I cannot sign in because “Too Many SMS codes.

| Hacked | Was hacked and 3rd party authentication enabled, I managed to get Facebook to verify my ID and add my backup email to my account so I’ve been able to change my password. But I can’t get past the 3rd party authentication to gain access. I’ve used oculus support and various other means of asking for help. I was also ghosted by security.facebook email address as they asked me for my ID and info but never responded back it’s been 9 days since they emailed me and I responded with the requested info. (I did google search to make sure it was a valid email addy) June 27th was when I was hacked. I’ve probably requested help about 20 or so times now through various forms or methods. I have some holiday time off soon and now that the pandemic is coming to an end (hopefully) I’m debating flying down to SF and doing a camp out on the front lawn of FB headquarters as well as Videoing my journey and posting it on YouTube.

| Disabled Facebook account. | Good afternoon. My Facebook and Instagram account was disabled almost a year ago. The reason is that i go against their community but i did nothing. However, then i was trying to submit appeals and requests review, but unfortunately i was unable to do that, all the time till today its popping up this message: "We Can’t Review the Decision to Disable Your Account We have fewer reviewers available due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic so we can’t review this decision right now." I also try to contact Facebook on all available emails but i didn't get respond on that, i also try to download my data but i can't, i follow steps how to request download on my data, and by the way i was mentioned my problem, and on the emails what i get there was help for NOTHING. I Also try on Portal support and they try to reach Facebook but also even they don't get any answer...

| Account mistakenly flagged under age | On July 21st 2020 Facebook locked my account for no reason when I tried to go on I get this message saying login error so I was logged out and then I tried to log in and I get this message saying that your Facebook account has been locked. So I tried to contact Facebook about this but I haven’t even got a single reply. So I had to create a new account until I can get my old account back and then on August 2nd early that morning one of my Facebook friends message me saying that my account isn’t on Facebook anymore so I tried to log in and I get this message saying that your account has been disabled for being under 13. I was furious that Facebook would disabled accounts or flagged them under age even if that account is over 13 so since that day I have been dealing with feeling lost and hopeless that Facebook would disabled accounts like that. | Accounted Disabled/Locked out | Online Form | July 21, 2020 | 7/8/2021 7:49am |

| Account Disabled for no reason | I woke up one morning to find that my account had been disabled and Facebook was asking for my id stating that if it was discovered that I was under 13, my account would be permanently. I'm in my 30s and have had my account since around 2009 so I'm definitely over 13. I sent in my driver's license (I'm in Ireland and its standard government issued). A day or 2 later I got a message to say my id was accepted and my account was open. Immediately after (within a minute, I didn't even have time to log in) I was told it was disabled again and to send in my id. I did so immediately. The next morning I tried logging in and my account was permanently disabled. It said that I had violated their terms. I can't understand how I could have as I rarely post other than to wish people happy birthday or congratulations for weddings/pregnancies. I mostly use messenger to talk to close friends and family.

| Hacked | My situation is most alike the second scenario posted on The Story article. The other scenario involves hackers. Someone will gain access to a person’s account, and then change contact information in their account which is critical to the 2FA or password reset process. For example, they might change the phone number or email address, or both, so that when the owner of the account tries to reset their password or verify their identity, they can’t because the confirmation email message is now going to a different destination. Received a text message at 6am on 7/15 to verify my account. Later realized that my account had been hacked. 2 emails are now added on accounts with 1 old one still remaining. Have submitted ID to Facebook and unable to receive a response. 2FA is now set up and unable to get past. Codes are not being sent to my phone. | Hacked | Online Form | July 15, 2021 | 7/15/2021 7:58pm |
| Facebook AI Wrongfully Disabled my Account, No Review done despite Submitting an Appeal | I'm a Facebook user from India. I have been an account holder since 2010. My Facebook account was randomly disabled on May 25th 2021. No review done so far although I submitted an appeal with photo ID proof and on June 3rd, even received an automated acknowledgement mail which stated that someone from Facebook will review my account and get with an update. Now my account is completely inaccessible because it wasn't reviewed within the 30 day period. I did not violate community standards. My account was mistakenly disabled by Facebook's AI algorithm. I tried using the Facebook Help Centre too, but got no assistance from there . Wrote numerous emails to Facebook, but they all went unanswered. Like thousands of other users caught in a similar situation, I am unable to reach Facebook Support directly. Hence, writing to you here. I even bought a device from Oculus, a company owned by Facebook and they initially assured me that my case will be forwarded to Facebook (one needs to have an active FB account to be able to use an Oculus device), but it's been over two weeks and they have not been able to give any update or resolution. I am still on hold with Oculus Support. I cannot afford to lose my Facebook account with all my precious data - my photographs taken over the years and my contact list. I need my Facebook account re-enabled. I have been trying to get assistance through Twitter and here's the url links for my Twitter handle which is full of Tweets about #facebookdisabledme | Accounted Disabled/Locked out | Online Form | May 25, 2021 | 7/18/2021 4:55am |
| Facebook disabled my account within one minute after sending my ID | My comments/posts got multiple times autoflagged by Facebook AI, even when it was 6 months old content. I couldn't even ask for a review when my content didn't go against their Terms of Violations. One day, a fake account by the name Natalia C. Goode, decided to flag me with her multiple fake accounts like Scarlett Maximoff Sanderson and Milia R Trae on 24 June 2021. I immediately got an email from Facebook about them telling me that I need to send them my Identifcation Card, very funny, that they didn't ask the person that flagged me. After one minute after sending my ID, my account got immedialety disabled. I can't contact facebook support, also I can't fill their other forms of getting an account back.

After a month, I also lost access to my Facebook page and groups. | Accounted Disabled/Locked out | Online Form | June 25, 2021 | 7/18/2021 10:47am |
