I started taking Instagram seriously about a month ago.
In that time, I reached around 35K followers and 25M views.
Then Meta started suspending and restoring my Instagram account several times without any clear reason. No content was removed. No specific violation was explained. The account was just suspended and restored again.
Then my Facebook account, where I crossposted the same content, was suspended too. That one was never restored, and Meta never clearly explained why.
After that, Instagram started showing me explicit AI porn ads. I contacted Meta Pro Support about it because it felt insane that Meta allows this kind of advertising while harmless creator accounts get banned for no clear reason.
Instead of getting help, my accounts were blocked. I got an SMS saying it was for my safety.
This is not moderation anymore. This feels like abuse of power.
Creators build audiences, communities and value on Meta platforms. But if accounts can be suspended without clear reasons, while support gives generic answers and explicit AI ads keep appearing, the platform no longer feels safe.
This was a month of intense work. I spent countless hours creating, editing, posting, testing, learning and trying to build something that could eventually become a source of income. That also meant time I did not fully spend with my child, because I was trying to create a better future for us. And now all of that can be switched off overnight because the platform’s enforcement system is broken and nobody gives a clear answer.
I don’t know what to do yet, kinda shocked, but it will be great to do something.
