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)

  • Unidad Reguladora y de Control de Datos Personales (URCDP)Local 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
    1. Prepare your identity document, notification address and known company details, especially its address. Describe the data issue and gather evidence, including any requests you made and replies you received.
    2. Choose Iniciar Trámite en Línea on the official page and sign in with an accepted electronic ID. If online filing does not suit you, the same page provides the form and instructions for filing in person.
    3. Complete the complaint, attach your documents and submit through your chosen channel. Keep the confirmation. The Enviar una consulta box at the bottom is for questions and does not file a complaint.

    URCDP investigates possible personal-data law violations. Filing is free, online with Usuario gub.uy or another accepted electronic ID, or in person. You need claimant and company details, an account of what happened and available evidence. Describe a genuine data issue; this is not the normal account-suspension appeal and does not promise restoration.

  • Unidad Defensa del ConsumidorLocal body or procedure

    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. Identify the supplier from your receipt or agreement. Prepare your contact details, a description of the paid service, documents and the outcome you want. If eligibility is unclear, start with consulta.
    2. Select Iniciar Trámite en Línea on the official page. Sign in with a verified Usuario gub.uy account at intermediate security level, or another listed electronic identification method.
    3. If your case qualifies and you want the supplier dispute resolved, choose reclamo. Describe the purchase, problem and requested remedy, attach documents and keep the confirmation. Do not choose denuncia just to seek a refund.

    A free consumer route for a service or payment dispute. Reclamo seeks a mediated solution; denuncia reports a possible violation for sanctions, rather than compensation. For a dispute with an overseas Meta supplier, first use consulta to check whether the route applies. The procedure guarantees neither a refund nor account restoration.

Submit a URCDP data complaint
What to prepare

Your data request, submission date, the company’s reply or evidence of no reply, and the specific data issue.

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

Compare the reply with your request. If it is guidance, follow the named procedure. If there is a settlement, keep its terms and due date. If unfulfilled, contact the recipient with the case number and evidence.

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.

Country and topic appear in the page address. Do not upload documents, passwords or codes here.
