finally got my account back after my 2nd suspension on false CSE. the first time was actually in Nov (11/12-11/14) which only lasted 2 days, but my second one (12/11-4/6) lasted nearly 4 months. i was pretty confident i lost the account completely but somehow i got it back today at 2:11 am. some methods i tried were meta verified which likely didn't help since the agents said they couldn't do anything and don't waste your money w/ them. also tried reaching out to attorney generals of different states and most of them ignored me or said they couldn't help lmao. also tried emailing but i don't think they even check the emails. there's no "guarantee" which of these methods actually worked but i assume i got it back just for waiting it out.
there is still some anxiety that i have where there could be a chance it will get suspended or worse, permabanned. for now, i won't be logging in right away so i'll just give it a few days.
GL to those who are still trying to get your accounts back and i just wanna say, there is hope!! i'll try to stay active with responses still!

This is my second time being suspended on false CSE allegations and it's been nearly 4 months ongoing without being reviewed, I'm worried my account will get permabanned eventually. Is anyone else having this issue? What should be my next step for recovery options? Is it possible to get it back 180 days even if they permanently disable you??

I'm on a time crunch with my account and have been stuck on appeals loop since December 2025 due to false CSE. I'm positive that my account will NOT get reviewed by someone and it's been making me very anxious. I might go on the legal route however, I might not have enough time since it's been over 90 days already. Has anyone else been able to get it back after 180 days or permanently disabled after?

Following up on my previous post where I received the email about a Facebook research study on 3/31, it was legit and I did check the email address. I did end up clicking that I'm interested in participating and it just led me to a different site asking me a few survey questions whether I would get picked for a 1:1 interview held in Menlo Park, CA or not. However even if I did get chosen, I'm likely not going due to school but if you did get chosen and have some free time, PLEASE DO!

Here's what you can do if you get chosen for the interview:

- definitely bring up about your suspension/ban if your account got affected, might be a chance that they can help you. i would recommend showing a bit of proof such as screenshots if it's relevant.
- be very blunt & honest about how their AI has been such as more issues rather than benefits due to the increasing amounts of false positive bans.
- mention that many users are also dealing with this situation with most unable to get their account back.

Good Luck to those who are going to the interview research study!!
