Appeal the removal of a post (1)

  • Oversight BoardInternational service · specific conditions

    Independent review of an eligible decision

    A review does not guarantee reversal. Do not duplicate a submission while the same case is still awaiting a response.

    What to do
    1. Open Meta’s final post decision and find the reference ID. Without it, this route is unavailable.
    2. Choose Submit an Appeal on the Board’s site, sign in to your active account and submit within Meta’s stated deadline.
    3. Check Track Your Appeal. Submitting does not mean the Board will select the case.

    For eligible content decisions only: requires an active account, Meta’s final decision and a Meta-issued reference ID. The Board selects a limited number of cases. If the account is disabled and you cannot log in, this route does not fit.

Access or protect personal data (1)

  • PersónuverndLocal body or procedure

    Protect personal-data rights

    This route concerns data rights. Being unable to log in does not by itself prove a breach: this is not an account-recovery service. Investigations and remedies depend on local law.

    What to do

    Official information confirms what the service covers, but we could not fully verify access to its page or form.

    Only partial information from official sources was available. Full requirements and the form could not be reconfirmed.

    Find the complaints section or contact details. Check whether the body handles your issue and which documents it needs. This link is not a confirmed submission form.

    A government service page for data complaints was found. Full access was restricted during research. A general enquiry is different from a formal complaint.

Resolve a payment or service dispute (4)

  • ECC-NetRegional route · check eligibility

    Consumer complaint

    First identify the seller on the receipt: it may be Meta, Apple, Google or another company. A payment complaint does not guarantee account recovery.

    What to do
    1. Write to the seller: what you paid for, what went wrong and what remedy you want. Keep the reply.
    2. Check whether the local body accepts disputes with that seller. Give the facts and amount, and attach the receipt.
    3. Keep the submission confirmation and reference number. If asked for more information, reply within the same case.

    For a consumer dispute with a trader in another EU country, Norway or Iceland. Contact the ECC in your country of residence with the contract, proof of payment and correspondence. This is free help with settlement, not a binding account appeal or support for businesses.

  • Neytendasamtökin — consumer adviceLocal body or procedure

    Advice on rights and next steps

    Check the service’s scope and any fees. Advice does not itself require Meta to restore an account.

    What to do
    1. Check the English (EN) page for contact details and advice hours for non-members.
    2. Give the seller’s country and ask whether this dispute is covered.
    3. Before paying for membership, check that it includes the help you need.

    General advice in Iceland. Document review and mediation require membership; local-trader disputes have specific terms. For a foreign company, check ECC Iceland first.

International service · specific conditions

Oversight Board

What this route offers: Independent review of an eligible decision

You want a decision about your account or post reviewed. Availability depends on country, subject, decision date and the recipient’s rules.

For eligible content decisions only: requires an active account, Meta’s final decision and a Meta-issued reference ID. The Board selects a limited number of cases. If the account is disabled and you cannot log in, this route does not fit.

A review does not guarantee reversal. Do not duplicate a submission while the same case is still awaiting a response.

What to do

  1. Open Meta’s final post decision and find the reference ID. Without it, this route is unavailable.
  2. Choose Submit an Appeal on the Board’s site, sign in to your active account and submit within Meta’s stated deadline.
  3. Check Track Your Appeal. Submitting does not mean the Board will select the case.
Open the complaint instructions
What to prepare

Account links or IDs, dates, notices, your requests and replies. For payments, keep the receipt and seller’s name.

What to do after applying

No reply yet

Check the submission confirmation, your spam folder and the service’s case portal. Look up its stated response time. If that time has passed, ask for an update and include your existing case reference, if you have one.

Your application was not accepted

Read the reason. A case outside the body’s powers, missing documents and a decision against your claim call for different next steps. Correct the stated gaps or follow the appeal instructions in the reply. Check the appeal deadline before submitting again.

You have a reply, but the issue remains

If the decision supports you, keep the full decision and case number. Ask the body how to track implementation and attach it to your existing Meta case. A favourable decision and actual restoration are separate stages.

Does every country have an account-recovery route?

We have not confirmed that every country has an account-recovery process outside Meta. This directory covers the listed countries, with options for data, payments, harmful content and, where available, account restrictions and court claims. Several links do not mean several ways to restore an account. We state when no suitable option has been found.

The review covers the entries in this directory. It does not establish that every possible route has been found. An accessible page, an applicable procedure and a successful outcome are different things.

How to use this directory

Different bodies handle different issues. A refused data request, a payment dispute and an account appeal involve separate procedures. Choose the one that matches your situation. The body you contact decides whether to accept the case and what action to take.

Each card shows when its sources were researched. No real complaints were submitted.
