Ask HN: How do you fight unjust bans from online platforms?

#1
Many people have become reliant on platforms like AirBnB, Paypal, and Facebook to the extent that losing access would have a significant adverse impact on their lives or livelihoods. At the same time, many of these platforms are well known for suspending or banning unsuspecting users without providing information about their reasons for doing so, and without providing any clear path to appeal or escalate.

Faced with such a suspension or ban, what approaches are most likely to be effective in getting it reversed? Are there actions one can take that most users might be unaware of?

Take a moment to appreciate how bad the idea of relying so much on those platforms was in the first place and think about less postmodern ways to earn a living.

I'm sure your useless statement will be of great relief to the victims of the various megacorporations that control many of the critical components of our society.

> postmodern

I do not think that word is appropriate in this context.
