Absolutely Horrible Service/ GDRP Breach
Absolutely Horrible Service – Data Breach, No Support, No Accountability
My experience with Meta Platforms, Inc. has been nothing short of a nightmare.
My personal account and two business accounts were hacked from the United States while I live in the UK. As a result, unknown content was published from my account without my knowledge. Instead of helping me, Meta disabled my personal account and both of my business accounts — one of which was only one month old and critical to my livelihood.
Because of this, my business has suffered significant financial damage.
What makes this worse is that my accounts contained extremely sensitive personal information — my date of birth, home address, mobile number, children’s photos, and even business payment details including credit card information through Meta Business Suite. My accounts were clearly compromised, yet Meta’s response was to disable everything and deny me access to download my own data.
Under UK GDPR, individuals have the right to access their personal data. Meta has refused to provide me with access to download my photos, my children’s memories, and my personal information. This feels like a complete breach of data protection responsibilities.
The so-called support team is beyond frustrating. Every response appears to be copied and pasted. Different agents reply each time, but the messages are identical, scripted, and unhelpful. There is no proper escalation process, no accountability, and no direct phone line to speak with someone who can actually resolve serious security breaches. You are simply ignored.
For Meta, one Facebook or Instagram account may not matter. For users, it contains our memories, our personal data, and in my case, our business operations and income.
A company that holds people’s bank details and personal data should have far stronger security systems and real human support — not automated responses and account disabling without investigation.
If I had known how this would be handled, I would never have built my business on their platforms.
Extremely disappointing, deeply stressful, and completely unacceptable service.
