Banned from Facebook.
4 months ago
Well, shit. I just got banned from Facebook. I immediately appealed and I was informed that my appeal was unsuccessful…5 MINUTES AFTER I FILED THE APPEAL.
Officially, it was for “sexualization of children,” but I never EVER posted anything like that. There's no reference to the alleged offending material. (But then again, I've heard horror stories that big online social media hardly ever disclose exactly why some content is offensive and deserving of a ban.)
I suspect that it was sharing an image of anime girl (i.e.: Sailor Venus) or something. Or it was a political argument on one of the groups I was part of and the other person go so butt-hurt that they decided to report me.
I intend to keep fighting this ban because I AM COMPLETELY INNOCENT OF ANY WRONGDOING ON THAT PLATFORM! I'll email Mark Zuckerburg himself if I have to.

It was never anything too sexy. It was usually in her Sailor Venus outfit, civilian attire or a swimsuit at worst.

I just emailed support[at]fb.com explaining the situation, so now we just wait and see if a human will see it and NOT a machine.

Apparently I'm not the first person this has happened to. I'm seeing horror stories on Reddit and YouTube on people being wrongfully banned from Facebook and Instagram for CSAM as well, some from a month or two ago.
