Meta Must Be Held Accountable For The Unjust Banning of Accounts.

Meta owes those who were unjustly impacted by their wrongful account terminations big time.

On July 10th, 2025, I became one of many people greatly affected by Meta's widespread unjust account terminations. Here is what happened:

It all started for me when I received a message from Instagram stating the following:

Hi lord_shadrach,

Your Instagram account has been suspended. This is because your account, or activity on it, doesn't follow our Community Standards on s*****lization of children.

If you think we made a mistake, you have until January 6, 2026 to appeal.

I found this incredibly disturbing as in the years I've had both Facebook and Instagram, 2007 and 2016 respectively, never once have I EVER exploited anyone, especially children. After all, I used my Facebook to keep up with family and friends my Instagram largely for my amateur photography portfolio pertaining to food images.

So I appealed like any other person of this slanderous claim only to receive this:

We disabled your account, lord_shadrach

Hi lord_shadrach,

We reviewed your account and found that it still doesn’t follow our Community Standards. As a result, your account has been permanently disabled.

Learn how our Community Standards help keep the Instagram community an authentic and respectful place for people to express themselves.

As anyone can tell, I was incredibly distraught as I did nothing wrong. At no time did I ever once engage in anything related to exploitation of inappropriate behaviors. In response, I sent the following email:

Meta's banning of my Instagram and Facebook accounts were unjustified and baseless. Its claims of me exploiting ch******n is incredibly false and incorrect as I've never once engaged in anything related to such. All my accounts were used for were keeping up with family and posting images of food.

Your unjust banning of my accounts has me great stress and emotional turmoil as your claims were unfounded. This has also caused a major rift with my friends and family because of your unjust actions.

Based on information I've come across, it seems you've also unjustly banned various accounts as well. Accounts from countless people who depend on their social media accounts for business related purposes or for personal use. Yet, your unjust banning have been greatly disrupted their livelihoods because of the false claims and accusations of celebrity impersonation, terrorism, and child exploitation.

This is incredibly infuriating to not only me, but your userbase as well! I demand reinstatement!

I also decided to google anything that could help me. That's when I came across various other people who were affected by the same unjust account terminations as well.

According to my search, two articles written by the BBC, The Florida Times, Mashable, and countless other reputable news sources say that this has been an ongoing problem. So much in fact various reddit threads and a Change.org petition lead by an organization called People Over Platforms have been enacted to counter these false terminations and a lack of assistance from Meta regarding this matter. There is also an alleged civil lawsuit forming as a result of this.

Upon finding these links, I realized Meta's banning of my accounts were a serious problem. However, this does not exclude or exempt Meta from any wrong doing.

We the people, demand that Meta be held accountable for the unjust suspensions. We also ask that our wrongfully terminated accounts be fully restored as well. We also believe Meta should pay those affected restitution and any legal fees for the damages they've caused to the people who use their sites and services.

How much should Meta pay up considering the emotional and business opportunities lost because of these unjust terminations? Not to mention a heinous lack of support from its customer service which is reliant on A.I. Systems? Not $1 billion, not $10 billion, but $100 billion to the 30,000 people greatly affected by this tragic error plus any legal fees as well!

At a net worth of around $1.81 trillion, let's say Meta can afford it.

Let it be known that this amount should also cover the slanderous claims Meta made about those wrongfully being terminated for impersonation or exploitation as well.

Meta must take responsibility for the harm and trust it has caused its clients. These unjust terminations have caused great distress to those who used their platform and trusted Meta to the full extent in good faith. However, as a result of this recent ordeal, the people's trust in Meta, and its public image have suffered greatly.

We the people, demand justice, restoration, and restitution.
