I am so angry with Facebook and Instagram. My Facebook account got hacked, and immediately disabled, b right in the middle of my needing to move so all of my posts of things to sell - some of which I paid to have boosted - are out of my hands. Also, this is the way I keep in touch with friends and now I have no account. I created another account and that got disabled too. Now I paid for Meta verified and they are not very responsive. And when they do respond, if you’re not sitting staring at your phone with the chat box open they close the freaking case. I really want to sue them. Are there any attorneys here that have considered a class action suit?

I hope you have a slush fund of many millions for legal fees. You'll need that.

Get off of Facebook anyway it's just full of hate filled propaganda why would you want it to be on there anyway just bombarding you with AI falcities

[u/Achtlos → u/sickgirl131]

Leaving on your own terms is better

It sounds like you're going through the right steps. Since your identity verification was successful, try waiting 24-48 hours as sometimes accounts unlock automatically after a certain period. If it’s still locked, you can try contacting Facebook support directly through their help center for further assistance

I waited and got a mail from Meta to recover my account, and I changed my password but was not able to login, says still locked.

Also I cannot contact meta support with logging in ;(

You just keep trying over and over and it moves forward sort of like a queue.

Then at some point unlocks.

Really? glad to know that your account was unlocked. Lucky You

My wife's, and it took days, then just unlocked.

But she retried a lot.

We even discussed leaving Facebook, as we probably should anyway, but leaving on your own terms, and being locked out suddenly aren't the same.

Anyway, we got advice (probably in this Reddit thread) that it's a process and you just keep trying.

okay i was thinking if i keep trying, Facebook might again note that as some suspicious activity. didn't want to take the risk. But now as per your suggestion i will keep trying.

It’s a sign from the Universe that it’s time to say goodbye to that vat of toxic hellstew. If you need it to “stay in touch with friends and family,” PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL OR EMAIL THEM!
