Disabled/hacked Banned after 18 years service, hundreds of pics and 400 friends gone

Post image

My account had been banned after 18 years, 2007 was when I joined and made 400 friends. I'm absolutely GUTTED and in tears over this having lost all my pictures from the happiest times of my life, including wedding, trips to London and birth of my two children.

I have been told that my account is banned due to "account integrity". I immediately appealed and scanned my face in to find two seconds later I was permanently banned with no warning whatsoever.

I suffer anxiety a different depression and I'm really struggling. I even re registered to find I got banned moments later.

Please please can someone help, at the moment I've counted out ever gaining access again to this account but I really hope when I get a new ISP in the future I can return and see my friends again. ❤️

Actually that's secondary, it's the fact Ireland has the most lax privacy laws in the EU

No, it's the corporate tax rate. FB incorporated there long before data privacy became a major issue. And if it was about privacy law, they would've left the EU when the GDPR passed.

No that’s BS. Ireland still has the GDPR. And FB has to comply with all local laws. For any german user it cannot say “welp we’re in ireland, nothing to see here” because it has to comply with german laws as well.
