A review does not guarantee reversal. Do not duplicate a submission while the same case is still awaiting a response.
What to do
Open Meta’s final post decision and find the reference ID. Without it, this route is unavailable.
Choose Submit an Appeal on the Board’s site, sign in to your active account and submit within Meta’s stated deadline.
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.
Kenya ODPC: an individual complaint about infringement of personal-data rights, including misuse, inaccurate data or a data-access problem.
Use File a Complaint for a data subject. Report a Data Breach is the separate controller/processor notification route under section 43. A blocked Instagram/Facebook account alone does not prove a data violation. ODPC admission, territorial applicability and any remedy require individual assessment.
What to do
Separate the alleged data infringement from a moderation or login dispute. Explain your connection to Kenya, the organisation involved and the specific remedy sought; include earlier correspondence rather than claiming it exists.
Follow File a Complaint to the official CIE form. Choose self or representative; the public form provides for representative authorisation and email verification using a six-digit code. We did not request or test a code.
The form requests ID/passport details and identity uploads: both sides of the ID or the passport identification page. Listed file types include PDF, JPG, PNG and JPEG. Verify the official domain and current requirements before supplying these yourself.
Add respondent details, dates, the complaint, harm/urgency, desired remedy and evidence. The anonymity option concerns disclosure to the respondent, not absence of identification in the portal. The regulations also provide for anonymous complaints; ask ODPC about a suitable alternative where confidentiality is essential.
Preview the information before submitting and retain the receipt if provided. The form’s verification, uploads and submission were not tested. If you cannot complete it, use the complaint email expressly listed in the official FAQ.
Kenya ODPC: an individual complaint about infringement of personal-data rights, including misuse, inaccurate data or a data-access problem.
Kenya: ask CAK to assess a paid-service, purchase or unfair-selling dispute involving misleading representations or unconscionable conduct under Part VI of the Competition Act. Identify the supplier, the transaction and the remedy sought.
Establish the Kenyan connection. Section 6 can cover overseas conduct involving supply into or within Kenya; cross-border acceptance and enforcement still need individual assessment. The consumer definition excludes resale and production/manufacturing inputs, but is not limited to private individuals: companies can qualify, and section 57 also addresses unconscionable business transactions. Do not assume every advertising or business-account dispute qualifies. For a social-media purchase, identify the actual seller; using Facebook or Instagram does not by itself make Meta the supplier. This is not a general account-suspension appeal or an account-recovery guarantee.
What to do
Identify the supplier and Kenyan connection. Try to resolve the transaction dispute with the supplier and retain dated evidence.
Complete the consumer complaint form and relevant attachments. Use the official filing instructions for the portal or an offline channel; state the remedy sought.
Retain receipt confirmation and the reference, answer information requests and track progress. Check any formal decision and appeal instructions promptly.
Use this route for a concrete transaction or unfair-selling problem, not a bare account-restoration request. Identify the actual supplier and Kenyan connection. Supplier-first contact is encouraged; foreign suppliers and business purchases require individual assessment.
Official court guidance for eligible Kenyan civil or commercial money claims up to KES 1,000,000. A paid platform-service claim needs separate legal-basis, jurisdiction and defendant checks.

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.
