This is a huge problem. My company's page got flagged for no apparent reason. I've been waiting over a month for a review but because of "Covid" they aren't able to review it. We typically spend $4k/mo and they can't pay 1 person to review it? @karaswisher @PivotSchooled https://t.co/iat9YXwFBT

To FB a business being cut off for a month or two is an inconvenience. To many, especially during this year, it can be the death of their dream they worked years for. It can be apocalypse. It can mean losses in tens of thousands if not more. pic.twitter.com/1uVVSo1VCn

Small? I've spent in the multiple millions per year and can't get decent support. This isn't just mom and pop shops.

Co-sign with this... really having a negative effect on some of our clients with smaller budgets and nonprofits etc (including religious groups) ... have had a few account managers get locked out over last couple of weeks and it's frustrating to say the least. https://t.co/cGO6xUwaIu

Clarification - anyone without a Facebook rep or monthly invoicing is at risk of going through this. https://t.co/bT4A1cfaxE

This is not a new problem

Facebook can’t scale the level of customer service or support teams it needs to match demand.
It’s placed a lot of hope and expectation on AI and other automated systems to keep its money making machine going.
Facebook biz customers have had enough. https://t.co/48ueahOrCT
But I thought Facebook supports small businesses, its campaign against Apple SURELY proves that. https://t.co/ylFPVZ4EpQ https://t.co/ZsYkJejcJn

NEW: Facebook advertisers are accidentally getting caught in FB's spam filters with no human to help. Then they realize their ad campaigns are still running, but can't manage them.

Ads from sellers of inclusive products (like jeans for women who use wheelchairs) keep getting incorrectly flagged because of Facebook's policies around promoting medical devices. "Ads for the same product that featured a standing model sailed through" https://t.co/lKkdevWFqc
