I am facing issues with my Instagram ads being blocked repeatedly, despite not violating any rules. My ads only promote a logo design and are not related to drugs; however, they are being flagged for promoting illicit substances. Strangely, one of my ads featuring the same design on a printed sticker got approved while the original design itself was blocked. I have appealed numerous times without success. Additionally, my freelancer design account seems to be shadow banned without cause, as I have not breached any terms or promoted any inappropriate content. I feel unfairly targeted, discriminated against, and frustrated with the unhelpful automated responses from customer service.

I recently requested to change my business page name to PearligirlJewels, but the request was denied due to concerns about misleading customers. However, my page mainly focuses on jewelry and my artwork, particularly the PearligirlJewels brand. Keeping the name Pearl Tree Arts might be confusing for those looking specifically for jewelry. My intention is for Pearl Tree Arts to encompass PearligirlJewels and PearliPillows. Having a separate page for each category would require duplicating content. Renaming the current page would streamline the process and make it clearer for customers searching for jewelry. I kindly request a review of this decision as it would simplify the distinction between my artwork and jewelry. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Carole G

I have been using the same Facebook account since it started, but now I am unable to reset my password. I can no longer access the email associated with it, and when I try to receive a code on my phone, I do not get any text messages. After attempting to create a new account, I got locked out for allegedly pretending to be someone else. I tried to send a message for help, but upon checking, the content was unavailable. I really need assistance with this issue as I want to access my account, which is currently logged in on my old phone. I now have a new phone and would like to use my Facebook account on it. I also need to link a new email to my account.

I received a new phone for Christmas. When I tried to install the Facebook app on it, the app prompted me for my password. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember my password. While attempting to recover my password, I discovered that my email address was outdated, and I no longer have access to it. I then tried to recover my account by using my ID photo, but was informed that the photo needs to be 1,[redacted] x 1,[redacted] pixels in size. I'm unsure how to adjust the pixel size and cannot proceed with my request. I would really appreciate help with recovering my account as I want to use Facebook on my new phone. I still have access to Facebook on my old phone. My previous email was [redacted], but I no longer have access to it. Thank you, Erin.

Holly has shared photos of me that I wish to have removed. The album is public, unfortunately, Holly is not in any of the pictures. The specific concern is the photographs of myself at my father's funeral. I've politely asked Holly to remove the album or at least the images of me. However, she only blocked my access to view the album without taking any action. I've previously tried Facebook's automated tools without success and now appeal for a more personal approach to rectify this privacy violation. Considering recent privacy scandals, I hope Facebook would prioritize user privacy concerns. Should Facebook decline to remove the entire album, I respectfully request they consider blurring my face in the photos in question. Your prompt attention to this matter and respect for my privacy are greatly appreciated. - W.P.

I created a new personal Facebook account "S" to set up a new Facebook page "S" privately for my online business without family and friends knowing. I linked my Instagram account (@cuticutihatyai) to this new page. Suddenly, my Facebook account "S" got disabled for unknown reasons. To resolve this, I created a new Facebook account "Z" and another Facebook page "Z." When attempting to link my Instagram to page "Z," it indicated it was already connected to another page. I am facing difficulty as my disabled account's email is unclear among my many emails. Perhaps Facebook could identify it through my phone number: [redacted]7. I just need help removing the link between my inactive Facebook account "S" and Instagram. My situation is quite complex. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello everyone, I encountered an issue on Friday morning when I was logged out of my Facebook account and was unable to log back in using my password. Despite attempting to reset it through my phone and changing the password twice, Facebook continues to reject it as incorrect. The email associated with my Facebook account, ([redacted]), was closed a few years ago, making it impossible to use for identity verification. I have tried to update my email to ([redacted]) on Facebook, but the changes do not save. This predicament is especially troublesome because I oversee approximately 10 business pages, including AFN and Equissage, and being locked out of my account has caused disruptions for all the admins involved. As my account is now invisible on Facebook, I am unsure if it has been compromised. I am seeking assistance to regain access to my account and am willing to provide any necessary documentation or verification if required. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Katie C.

Dear Facebook Team, I am in need of your assistance, as a Fiverr contractor is creating fake Facebook accounts to spam me with untrue 1-star reviews. I have faced numerous challenges trying to reach your support team, and I am reaching out for help. After paying a Fiverr employee $[redacted] to advertise my ecommerce store, I discovered they did not fulfill the job. Upon requesting a refund, I was successful but inadvertently made an enemy. The individual, whom I thought was a woman assisting with advertising, turned out to be a man from Nigeria in his late 20s. He has since threatened to harm my business and is now spamming false reviews on my business account, preventing me from linking it to Instagram or Facebook, which is vital for its success. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue promptly. Best regards, J. A.

My ex-partner, Julio Pinto, is currently accessing my Facebook account without my permission. He has changed my password, and even though I am still logged in on my cellphone, I am unable to log in on other devices. His email is [redacted], and his phone number is [redacted]. He has been stalking me for some time now and even added himself to my account. I recently changed all my login information after he gained access through our 2-year-old daughter. He went through my private messages, saved conversations and pictures, and shared them with my family. I urgently need help deactivating my Facebook account. Please contact me at [redacted], my sister's email address.

I created my profile recently, but Facebook disabled it right after I set it up. I followed their request to submit a selfie, and after two days, I was briefly able to access my account. However, shortly after starting to set up my shop page, my account was disabled again. I filled out the appeal form with a photo of my ID but haven't received any response for a few weeks now. I rely on my Facebook page to run ads for my online store and I abide by all their guidelines. I haven't even had a chance to post anything before being disabled. I'm hoping someone from Facebook can reach out to me to clarify why my account was disabled and provide an update on my appeal. Thank you.

About a year and a half ago, my iPhone 6s account was hacked. The language on my account was changed to Spanish, and messages were sent to my friends on messenger before I got locked out. I made a new account and abandoned the old one. Now, I wish to recover my old account under the name Robert P. My original email was [redacted] with the password Coupon01. Recently, I attempted to recover the account but couldn't receive the verification code as I have a new phone number. My current number is [redacted], and I changed the password to Nucleors313. This account is connected to games like 8 ball pool, and I prefer not to start over. I can still access the email associated with this account, and my profile picture is Eminem's band D12 with a black background. Your assistance in recovering this account would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am Svetlana Brent. I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago due to receiving frequent emails from Facebook about people tagging me in posts meant for Scott Brent, whom I do not know. Despite this, I am still receiving these notifications from Facebook. Thank you. [redacted]

Dear Facebook, I am writing to inform you that my Facebook account under the name Salah ud din has been blocked. I have been an active user of this account since [redacted]. Recently, I encountered an issue related to a Facebook post on my page "The Cricket Junoon", which led to a copyright claim on some videos I uploaded. Upon receiving the warning, I attempted to delete the post promptly. Unfortunately, due to the slow internet connection in my area of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan, I was unable to do so in time. I acknowledge the mistake of using copyrighted music and assure you that I will be more cautious in the future. Given my long-standing usage of Facebook and the importance of this platform for staying in touch with my contacts, I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter and restoring my account. Thank you for your understanding.

My name is John R. I believe my constitutional rights were violated when my public posts were removed, restricting my freedom of speech. My account has been blocked multiple times for sharing legal documents obtained under the Freedom of Public Disclosure Act. Additionally, another user, Ms. K.L.W., has shared numerous pictures of legal papers causing me distress. Requests to remove them were unsuccessful, leading me to feel unfairly targeted. If my account is not unblocked and my content restored, I will pursue legal action for these infringements.

I recently added someone on Facebook who turned out to be a scammer. The name on the profile is Grenda Laura, claiming to be a 'Promotions agent' for Samsung. They falsely informed me that I won $[redacted],[redacted] in a Samsung competition that I never entered. When I questioned them, their suspicious language made me doubt their authenticity. They also had a fake friend listed on their profile. I have now blocked this person and tried to report them with the help of my real friend, Peter Byrne, though I accidentally reported Peter instead. Please disregard the report on Peter Byrne. I plan to report this scam to Samsung on Monday, December 24th, [redacted]. Can anyone advise me on how to handle this imposter, Grenda Laura? Thank you. - Lynne Maddern.

I was contacted by a fake profile on Facebook, pretending to be a woman who then coerced me into a compromising situation on Skype. It turned out to be a man who threatened to share the video unless I paid a ransom. I deactivated my account momentarily, then returned to warn my friends and unfriended everyone before attempting to deactivate again. Facebook asked for my ID to change my name due to security reasons, but my date of birth on the account is inaccurate. I fear I may not be able to regain access to my account. I am worried about the consequences and seek advice on how to handle this situation discreetly.

I've been locked out of my Facebook account. I recently changed my phone number and my email address is outdated. I changed my password due to a breakup. However, I'm not receiving the activation code. I have important memories and photos on that account from the past 5 years. Can anyone assist me in regaining access?

My Facebook account appears to have been hacked. I noticed that my email on the account is listed as a Yahoo email, which I have never used or would ever use. I suspect a person named Hunter Hinds may have hacked it, as they use Yahoo and changed my workplace to Krusty Krab as well as theirs. I would like to have my account restored. I have email notifications dated all the way back to 4/24/[redacted] until the latest one on 5/10/[redacted] regarding activities on my account. However, I did not receive any notification about an email change, which according to the help pages, should have occurred. I tried to recover my account this morning and a couple of weeks ago using friends on my list, but none of their accounts were helpful. A few weeks back, I was asked to upload pictures of my driver's license for verification, but no matter what I tried, the system indicated issues with the pictures. My profile picture shows me in a white t-shirt and black vest, standing behind a girl in a colorful yellow dress named Halie Doland (or Dollange, I'm uncertain of the correct spelling), and there are also photos of me with Kaity Haker holding wine glasses.

I keep receiving an "Incorrect Password" message, and when I click on "Forgot Password," it leads to one of three scenarios: 1. It returns me to the password input page, stuck in a repetitive loop. 2. After entering my email for a password reset, I do not receive any email for hours. When I finally get it, the temporary code is expired, prompting me to request a new one, but it gives me the same expired code again, making it feel like a loop. 3. It informs me that I've attempted too many times and need to wait. Even after waiting a week, on trying again, it still says I've attempted too many times, despite it being my first try after a week. I just want to access my account, but these issues are preventing me from doing so.
