PA-2026-0015 Meta Account disable Source confirmed Draft

@lissethlopezc_ publicly reports that Meta permanently disabled her Facebook account (Lisseth López) on May 28, 2026, reportedly without explanation. The reporter states she had 10,000 followers, submitted her INE (Mexican national voter ID) for identity verification which was reportedly approved, then received an 'account not found' response. No Reference ID was provided to initiate an appeal. A review denial email confirmed the account was permanently disabled under Community Standards with no further review possible.

Curator commentary

Third identity-verification-to-adverse-outcome case in the dataset (after passport in PA-2026-0006 and video selfie in PA-2026-0014). Reporter submitted INE (Instituto Nacional Electoral — Mexico's national voter ID, standard government identity document) and states it was approved ('fue aprobada'), yet the account was not restored and she instead received an 'account not found' response. This 'account not found' outcome is distinct from all prior records — other permanent disables produce a disable notice with the account name visible; here the account appears to have been fully removed from Meta's systems rather than placed in a disabled state. The absence of a Reference ID is a novel appeal-access barrier: unlike PA-2026-0006 (login blocked) or PA-2026-0004 (window expired by inaction), here the reporter was not given the identifying reference needed to even initiate a formal appeal channel. Reporter explicitly uses English phrases 'account not found' and 'Reference ID' within an otherwise Spanish-language post, suggesting these are Meta's own interface strings rather than paraphrases. Near-null policy citation: 'Normas comunitarias' (Community Standards) with no subcategory. Profile picture consistent across X post, Facebook login screen (IMG_0320.jpeg), and review denial email (IMG_0321.jpeg) — strong identity corroboration. Mexico-based user; INE is Mexican government ID. 10,000 Facebook followers on the affected account. 188 X followers; X is secondary platform.
