Last year Instagram flagged my account for CSE. I was appalled because I would NEVER or have EVER posted, commented, liked, or engaged in content anywhere close to CSE.
Fast forward, they locked the account while conducting their investigation. I had other accounts on my phone for business. They locked those too. So I created a new one. THEY DELETED EVERY SINGLE ACCOUNT with no investigation and no opportunity to contest. I couldn’t find a single point of contact. Additionally, everytime I attempted to download my “data” nothing was ever sent to me.
Years of memories down the drain for my personal, and I had to shut down my business due to the ban. I work in social media management. They shut down every single account I managed.
My question is, is there any way to create a new account moving forward without getting banned?
I can’t even create a Facebook account without having to upload my ID. It sucks because so much work is tied to social media now and that was my living.
I’m at a loss.
Update
There’s no way to get my old accounts back. They already shut it down. Oddly enough when I re download the app, the old account log in suggestion is still there.
Reddit forums are suggesting to get a new device, new IP, WiFi, etc. Seems a bit excessive all just to keep a social media account.
But what can I do? I’m about to start a new business and I need to create accounts to launch my product. Do I seriously need to buy a new phone for this bs? I also live in a complex that requires me to use specific wifi so I don’t have choice. Can I just use a VPN to create a new account with a new email address and would that be enough or will I get banned again because it’s on the same device?
I hate that I have to ask the community of Reddit and not INSTAGRAM THEMSELVES. F U Zuckerberg for making it impossible to contact any form of help aside from useless AI chat bots.
