The people at Meta/FB who are in charge of this stuff have IG models throwing sex at them to get accounts restored. I'd be surprised if those guys take action to fix the account of someone who isn't making it....ahem worth their while, so to speak.

I abandoned my account awhile back, but I remember them suddenly demanding a photo id for "security reasons" or else they wouldn't let me in. I just closed the tab and decided I was all done with facebook since I wasn't crossing that bridge. A few months later I tried to login again and suddenly they didn't need the id anymore.
Maybe that's true for some things, but the community standard violation/restriction code seems like it's always been a mess, every fix breaks something else, every new FB feature makes it fail in new ways, and there's no real motivation to make it good (who cares about violators, right?).
I feel it's so bad because because it's been constantly patched under pressure every time media catches on something on the platform (e.g. after the livestream of the Christchurch shooting, FB started handing out livestreaming restrictions like candy for every minor violation, and to my knowledge it stayed like that until today). I honestly would love to see the code like I love to watch terrible movies.
It's so consistently and innovatively bad, and I have such a hard time thinking nobody violating CS has friends at FB, that the unmaintainable mess is the only explanation I can find.
I couldn't find anyone at FB/IG willing to help me with this. There are pictures of my friend who passed away years ago and apparently this is going to stay online forever...
This also works with Google wrt Google Play. They even have "developer relations" people specifically to handle this kind of communication.
Facebook does have a process for getting things like this fixed very quickly. The trick is you need to know someone who works there.
I was locked out for six months then circumstances meant that I knew someone at Facebook. I told them the problem and it was fixed in 24 hours.
Make enough noise and someone at FB will hear and fix it for you.
