Curator commentary

Cross-platform cascade: both Facebook (20-year account) and Instagram (13-year account) disabled on the same day with the same stated rationale, no prior warnings, no specific rule cited. Reporter directly attributes the enforcement to 'your AI' in the X post. The policy cited—'Terms of Service on who can use Facebook'—is the generic account eligibility section; no specific violation is named. The simultaneous cross-platform disable is consistent with account-linkage cascade enforcement where a flag on one Meta account triggers automatic disable of linked accounts. The Download Your Information button is active, which is Meta's standard data portability offer on terminal disables. No appeal path; terminal.
