Ask HN: Is it possible to appeal a Facebook ban without logging into Facebook?
2 by hackmiester | 0 comments on Hacker News.
My partner's Facebook account was compromised. The attacker linked it to an Instagram account (it was previously not linked to one). They (presumably) used this account to spam, and Facebook disabled the Instagram account as well as her Facebook account. To summarize, it seems that the account is now in a state where it cannot be accessed because it is disabled, and appealing the ban requires logging into the account first, which is impossible. Attempting to log into the Facebook account explains that it's disabled because the linked Instagram violated the Instagram community guidelines, and a link to the Instagram help center is provided, but it can't be used without logging in. I also found this Facebook form: https://ift.tt/XsoSYWK However, attempting to use it results in the message: "Log into your Facebook account for more information about how to request a review." I'm sorry for the noise if there is something I'm missing here. I would really appreciate any advice or assistance. She is a small business owner who relies on Facebook because that is how her clients wish to interact with small businesses, so obviously she is really in a frustrating position currently.
