For now, I'm verifying them via their work email. So far, I've gotten decent feedback from my former colleagues and friends in big tech. Most of them take some sort of compensation for helping restore Insta / ad accounts - this is just a more direct way.

(In some cases they've hidden/removed comments that replied to me, which is exta-weird.)

#27Seems insane. Surely every single company would fire you for doing that. If you put this in its proper term it is "corruption" and you should definitely worry about the legal implications of doing this.

#30I fucking hate shitter for locking me out of my account but I refuse to pay ransom to get it back.
I instead stopped using social media besides anonymous social media and my mental health improved immensely.
