Re: Meta Suspending iCloud Private Relay Users

Hoping to raise some visibility into a weird issue. I bought an iPad recently, and logged into my Facebook account through it. I dont use the app, and log in via Safari, using iCloud Private Relay. Fairly soon after, I got an email “Someone may have accessed your account”. I checked the log-in record - the location was in a different part of the country, but the device and timestamp were clearly mine. I recently logged in again on the same device, and received an account suspension about 15 minutes later for violating Community Standards. I haven’t posted anything except an updated profile pic over the last 5 years, so I thought this was weird, but could have been some really old post just now getting flagged by some automated system. Then I found this Reddit thread, with other users facing the exact same circumstances.

I wanted to highlight this here in case it’s a weird malicious attempt to force Private Relay users to use a more trackable access method.
