Like the title says, Facebook, Instagram and even WhatsApp are banning accounts for no apparent reason or being accused of heinous acts they didn't commit. They acknowledged in June that their AI had issues and banned thousands of groups, however they haven't done the same for individual users who have had their accounts disabled and then banned permanently after trying the appeal process.
In both cases, it seemed the culprit behind it was meta's garbage AI that's already costed them billions in lawsuits. The main problem is you're not gonna be able to speak to a human regarding your account, every aspect of meta support is AI driven. Even people who paid for premium meta accounts had little to no help from supposed human support.
If you're being affected by meta's banwave, please sign this petition. If you're a small business or simply someone whose online memories are getting affected by this issue, here's a class action lawsuit that you can consider joining, it's from a firm in Massachusetts. You can also look into filing a small claims if you're in the USA, if you're not in the USA there's firms that can file the claim for you for a fee.
The sad thing is that this has been an ongoing issue and has barely received any coverage, so far the only serious news sites covering this are The BBC and Yahoo. No big YouTube channels that focus on tech are talking about this. Most people don't know until it happens to them.
If you need help with your meta account, leave a comment and I'll try to help or at least point to where you might get help.

Hell with it. Just don't use meta I guess
Indeed, all their products are trash anyway.
