You're not.

Over the past few months, there have been increasing reports from users who believe their accounts were disabled by mistake.

Meta's independent Oversight Board has also recently called for greater transparency and improvements to the appeals process.

The important thing to remember is:

✅ Some accounts are successfully reinstated.
