@darrellbjones (Darrell B. Jones, blue X verified) publicly reports that Meta permanently disabled his 18-year-old Facebook account overnight on approximately June 14–15, 2026, reportedly for violating Terms of Service. The appeal denial email states 'You can't request another review of this decision.' The reporter describes a preceding account compromise sequence: a password change, a login from Singapore, and a Chinese account accepting a friend request — followed by the disable. Five Facebook pages, his Instagram account, and Meta account were also affected. He also states that Meta VR and glasses products become unusable without a Meta account, though he does not confirm personal ownership of either device. The reporter states: 'I'm sure it's AI that processes it all, and getting to a human agent probably implausible.'

Account compromise case structurally consistent with the Meta AI exploit cluster (PA-2026-0024, -0032, -0033, -0036, -0045). The preceding sequence — password change, Singapore login, Chinese account friend request accepted — is consistent with automated behavioral anomaly detection flagging foreign-access activity on a compromised account. If the friend request acceptance triggered the detection, this is notable: accepting an inbound friend request from an unknown account is ordinary user behavior, not a ToS violation. The detection system appears to have flagged the foreign-origin connection as an integrity signal, not the user's own conduct. Reporter states that Meta VR and glasses products become unusable without a Meta account ('makes the products itself unusable') — describing the hardware ecosystem in general terms. Personal ownership of either device unconfirmed. Terminal disable (#12 in dataset). Generic ToS citation with no specific conduct identified.
