I tried signing up for Instagram once because for some reason there are a lot small businesses in artsy spaces (jewelry, etc.) who basically make it the main way to interact with them (or did) and I got banned almost instantly for no reason I could discern. Kind of gave up at that point (well, after trying to go through their "show an ID process" and it not working) and if I want to see some artist's insta I ask my w…

In a similar vein I made an account on ebay once years ago, and inside a day I was banned for "unpaid seller fees"

On my one day old account that had never done a transaction???

The same thing is happening to end users, the consumers that they maybe want seeing those ads. Random, totally out of the blue bans on Meta platforms for no rhyme or reason. It's all over reddit: r/facebookdisabledme r/FixMyInstagram r/InstagramDisabledBans r/MetaLawsuits

It's almost impossible to create a new Facebook account nowadays and I wonder if that's one of the cause of the decline of Facebook

It has been happening in other platforms too. I had a tough time creating a new LinkedIn account after deleting mine around 10 years ago. At one point one day in the new account I got banned, then I submitted my ID and got in only to be banned again within the same timespan. All the same accusations that the profile information I submitted was not “correct”, translation: I was not me according to someone else’s idea of what being me is, even though I was able to show them a proper ID.

I only got it working stable after finding an obscure email on Reddit and re-sending my ID to a completely different confirmation system.

The whole article doesn't even contain the word 'AI' or 'LLM." There is zero explanation about why they think it's caused by an AI Meta deployed recently. The clickbait game is crazy.

> We manage millions of dollars in annual Meta ad spend.

Oh nvm. They're full-time clickbaiters... what else did I expect.

> They set up a dedicated work account, which, by the way, is standard professional practice

Standard professional practice invented by ad agencies themselves, against Facebook's policy[0].

Same here, I've not been able to open an account, it's a bit frustrating.
