Hello guys I was banned for CSE and nudity in

August 16 2026. I appealed. And was under review a few days ago. Today a few minutes ago I just received that my appeal was accepted. I have not login yet, what you guys recommend me to do?

on 16th of April i got my account back not sure if it was gac or meta verified that helped

and now its suspended * ( not yet disabled)
i’ve been following all community guidelines
anyone know what to do next? i’ve submitted video selfie verification and i need to wait 48 hours they will get back to me
but on the page it’s telling me to upload my id
do i wait it out or upload passport id??
:/

hi yall out of nowhere one of my 26 Instagram account was back idk why.. out of nowhere i saw notification where it says somone sent me a message .. here's a 2 photo one on april where it was permanently disabled, what do you think is this related to meta court?

sorry if my english is bad

People keep saying GAC is dead but mine just got unbanned on July 29.

Almost 1 month later lol. Same process still works.

*Reason*: Integrity

*Time taken*: 30-32 days

Steps -

1. Submit a form on Meta Grievance > choose option 3. Wait for email response.

2. Take screenshots of GAC questions + prep your answers.

3. Submit everything on the GCA website.

Heads up: GAC has a lot of traffic rn so it’s taking longer. but there's still some hope

My instagram account was suspended about a week ago, after appealing and waiting for a week, Instagram decided to permanently disable my account.

I did my own research, and apparently the only method that mostly works is through GAC or taking legal action.

Im 17 and I'm not sure if it's even possible to recover my account, I remember someone saying that teenagers can never recover their accounts. But I'm just looking for general advice and confirmation about this.

I don't believe this is a false ban, but more of a misunderstanding of what I sent. as I'm almost 100% sure someone who I argued with reported something that I sent and got me banned. But this account had really important connections and information and cant afford to lose it.

I'm also looking for a way to find my following list some way so I can refollow the accounts I was following.

Thank you

My account was wrongfully permanently suspended nearly 2 months ago on June 22nd 2026 for SOM. I’ve never posted anything as main posts, only stories sometimes that only a small number of people can see as my account was a personal private account that I only used to save, like and repost posts and reels that were funny, relatable or related to my interests. I stupidly didn’t download many of the stories that I posted as I assumed that they’d stay on my account forever, I never thought that my account would get banned out of nowhere like this 😭 I did download copies of my data periodically, but the last time I did that was in July last year and I’ve posted many times and interacted with a lot of posts since then so I don’t have access to my data from July 2025 up until June this year. I’ve had this account for nearly 7 years.

The only things remotely related to children that I posted were nostalgic pictures of me as a kid that I posted to my story reminiscing about my childhood and how much I miss it.. those pictures were not sexual at all, and if the ai moderation disabled my account and gave me that allegation because of those pictures, then that’s actually insane. Most of the time when I posted stories, I archived them shorty after and added them to my highlights, so I can mainly go through them more easily later. I received no prior warnings or strikes before my account got suspended, it literally happened as I was using the app. I immediately appealed and was only asked to verify my phone number by typing a code that was sent, I wasn’t asked to send my id or do a facial verification. I did try to add the facial verification selfie a couple weeks before this happened, but it kept bugging and wouldn’t let me upload it. Not even 5 minutes later, I received an email saying that my account still didn’t follow the guidelines and it got permanently suspended.

I immediately started researching different methods that I could try to get it back. I tried getting a free trial of meta verified on my other account to attempt to talk to an agent to see if they could do anything, but after waiting in the chats for hours, they told me that there was nothing they could do.

A few weeks later, I sent a letter before action to meta’s Ireland office, (I live in the UK sadly, i would have had many more options if I lived in America) in the letter I stated that if they didn’t provide me with an adequate human response or my account back within two weeks, I would take legal action.
Two weeks went by and I received no reply from them..

My threads and facebook accounts were also suspended on the same day because they were connected to the same email. I only randomly found out like 2 weeks later when I opened the app and got logged out. It said my facebook account was suspended for “account integrity”, I haven’t bothered appealing for it because I know they’ll instantly deny it. The funny thing is, I don’t even use facebook much at all, maybe occasionally if my mom sends me a reel to watch on there but that’s basically the only time I’ll use it. 🥀

I’m not really sure what to do now.. The google ai feature (I don’t use chat gpt or any other ai) that automatically shows up when you search for things told me that I should file a civil money claim against meta Ireland on the gov.uk website. It said I should file a claim for £35, and get a £300 claim amount back if the case is successful. I have no idea if what it’s telling me is true and will actually work.

If anyone else that had their account suspended in the UK knows what I should do, please send me your suggestions.
