All the free guides, sorted by what you are facing.
Every guide starts with the same thing: the first safe step, the channel that can actually answer, and what a general page cannot know about your case. Pick the situation that matches your screen.
Not sure where to start? Capture the exact notice first, then read the guide for your platform. If the platform already gave you a decision, start under "After a decision". If you cannot get into the account at all, start under "Account and login states". The free diagnosis covers the part a guide cannot: the restriction type, the channel that applies to your notice, and the first three evidence items for your case.
Start with the platform
The official route for a disabled, suspended or banned account, platform by platform.
- Instagram account disabledThe disabled screen, the in-app appeal, identity checks and rejected appeals.
- Facebook account suspendedThe appeal form, ID verification, the linked Instagram cascade and the usual rejections.
- TikTok banned by mistakeCommunity guidelines, the in-app appeal, evidence and when to escalate.
- India: the GAC routeThe Grievance Officer gate, the 30-day clock and a free eligibility checker.
- Philippines: Facebook disabled and the DTI routeWhat a DTI eReport can and cannot do, and the channels that move a case.
After a decision
The appeal came back. These guides cover what the answer actually closed and what can still hear the case.
- Appeal denied in minutesWhy the fast no is not a human review, what it closes, and which facts make a second reader look.
- The appeal said "final"What "final" usually means, the routes that remain and the decision file to build.
- You won the decision, the account is still disabledWhy an out-of-court decision is not enforced automatically, and what the next forum needs.
- Meta Verified did not helpWhat the subscription documents, what it never promises, and what to do after the dead end.
- An attorney general complaintWhat a US state AG office can do with your file, what it cannot, and when filing is the wrong move.
Account and login states
Locked screens that are not a normal appeal: recovery, identity, ownership and enforcement states.
- You cannot log in to appealRecovery comes before the appeal. The order that works, and the documented dead ends.
- Stuck in ID verificationWhy the ID loop repeats, the published document rules and when to switch route.
- Banned with no reason givenHow to find the notice, what to ask for, and how to make the reason specific.
- Hacked, then bannedThe ownership file, the separation statement and why the first contact decides.
- A new account banned instantlyWhat links a new account to the old one, and why a new SIM does not solve it.
- Flagged for child exploitationThe record to build, what not to send or post, and when a lawyer is the next step.
Business, ads and EU routes
Higher stakes, different objects and statutory processes.
- Business and ad accountsThe five objects that can be locked, what to fix first, and the escalation order.
- Ads still spending while the account is restrictedStop the bleed first, then appeal. The documented windows and the billing triggers.
- The EU DSA routeWhat Articles 20 and 21 can do, what they cannot, and the realistic timeline.
Deadlines and official links
The two pages worth keeping open while you work the case.
- Appeal deadlines by platformThe published windows, what expires, and what happens after.
- Official appeal linksVerified help-center entry points, so you never use a link someone sent you.
