UPDATE: Everyone that submitted their handles prior 03/07/2023 was submitted to Meta for review. You can keep submitting but it might take a long while. Again, accounts starting to come back but there is no guarantee.
The #stopdeletingus campaign was launched in June 2023 by a collective of s3x-positive brands, educators and content creators in response the mass de-platforming move of Meta.
Several accounts have been restored since but there is still a long way to go. We got overwhelmed with huge amount of users contacting us from all over the globe so we created this form to share our knowledge and give you first hand support.
If your account has been affected, here is what you can do:
- Notify Meta about the deactivation of your account by mistake and ask for a review https://help.instagram.com/contact/606967319425038
- Tell Meta why you believe it was deactivated in error.
- You may have to submit the form several times. Just don't give up.
- Submit your details here. Occasionally we will touch base with Meta again to make them aware of the amounts of people who's income, mental health and digital persona is negatively affected.
- Use the existing #stopdeletingus media assets & press statement to organise a campaign locally https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yGRbA3ElE9-tsl6aWGYK7vkM3hqvC7s7?usp=sharing
- Use the hashtag #stopdeletingus
Note: None of the above guarantees anything but it worked for us so far.
