Back on June 26, I was banned (like thousands of others) for CSE. I followed the suggestion of another user to contact my state AG. So I did and they got back to me. They asked for the email and URL for my account. I gave them the info. They submitted it to Meta. I was told it takes a month or so to hear back.

On August 5, I tried to log into my account just for giggles. Funny enough, it logged me in and it went to my feed. I received no email or any other notification that my account was reinstated.

After that initial ban, I was kind of "gun shy" on posting and only made about 5 or six postings.

Six days later on August 11, I got an email from Meta saying my account was disabled with the usual appeal link. So I did. Within a minute, my account was permanently disabled for, you guess it, CSE.

Then on I was mysteriously reinstated again on September 2. I was doing a Google search about our city water tower being refurbished and wanting to know when we could run sprinklers again.

The first 3 search results were from my city another from the city's Facebook page. I opened all 3 links. When I got to the Facebook city link, my login button looked different than it does when you are banned. I clicked it and it logged me into my home page.

The principle of the matter is the loads of people getting the hammer for the same exact thing.... over and over. Honest folks getting nailed unfairly for CSE. There's no way to appeal with a human rep anymore unless you become Meta Verified (costs money for that blue check).

If Meta's first CSE determination was correct, why was my account subsequently reinstated? If Meta determined that the first CSE determination was erroneous and reinstated my account, why was the same account later permanently disabled for the same alleged violation?

Meta's AI moderation is out of control.
