I had a Facebook and Instagram account for over 10 years, recently on 13 March 2025, both accounts were abruptly suspended without chance to appeal. I have lost photos, videos, and an avenue to communicate with my wife while she's in Drill Sergeant Academy. I can no longer see photos and updates the academy pushes out without an account. She is busy throughout the day, so I like to see the updates as they come down. I recently moved to AZ from VA and have lost so many connections to people in my life, and ways to network. I've lost access to marketplace. While I have a healthy relationship with social media, the loss of these accounts with no explanation have me questioning a lot of things. I feel alienated from everyone else with no due regard. Reaching any customer support team is impossible. The links and help pages on meta's site purposefully lead to dead ends, with no contact information to reach a human being who has discretion. Instead, I am permanently banned forever from any meta account with zero explanation. Any chance to create a new account are quickly met with a ban hammer, sometimes immediately. This is happening to real people who haven't done any wrong. Something is extremely wrong. I hope that someone will see my story, and it will have an effect. I love my wife, and I just want to be able to share things with her again.
I had my Instagram account since 2019. Over the years, it became a space of collecting memories & staying connected with friends.
April 2025, I deactivated the account for privacy and mental health reasons, something I believed was supported by the platform. Despite this, my account was deleted without any warning, email, or chance to appeal.
I hadn’t violated any rules. I simply needed a break. Instead of being respected for protecting my mental health, I was deleted.
Instagram needs to be more transparent and humane in how it handles user accounts. No one should lose years of their digital life without explanation or recourse. And why does this platform offer no customer service? The help center is functionally useless. I’m hearing the platform recently overhauled their operations to Meta AI. Now what did we learn here after making such a move: Mass deletion of innocent accounts and no way to obtain your data after the fact. This completely unacceptable.
Having been on Facebook since it's inception. I was randomly banned 2 weeks ago and the appeal was automatically reviewed by the same broken AI process that resulted in the ban. Not further details, no access to support, no ability to recover data, no procedural fairness. Years of family and friends memories now gone and no real understanding of why. Then the fact that the ban pushes across all other Meta services then has wide ranging affects as businesses and community groups turn to Messenger and WhatsApp their primary communication tool. These erroneous bans are affecting waves of users and isolating many people's main source of communication and information.
I Love this country. I was born and raised here. I have never seen such trash talking about Canada and the Canadian people as I have from Mr Hoekstra. He has shown us no respect whatsoever and just sounds like Trump. We are tired of all the rhetoric and name calling and we don’t need someone in his position trying to divide us! Send him packing, he’s not doing his job
Our Job a a flight attendant is not just about offering a service 35,000 feet in the air. We are Inflight First Responders—the eyes and ears of the flight deck. When a passenger becomes ill or there's a medical issue on board, it's us who respond. We are trained, prepared, and ready to act in any emergency.
We provide exceptional service, no matter how tired, overwhelmed, or homesick we may feel. Even when we’re not at our best, we continue to show up and give our all.
We are just as essential as the pilots. We deserve a fair wage and working conditions.
I like to see you work for free, you should be supporting us not against us where is your compassion
We, the undersigned, are Canadian citizens, workers, and most importantly, front-line flight attendants of Air Canada. We are calling for the immediate removal of Minister Patty Hajdu from her position due to a lack of action, oversight, and care for the basic rights and well-being of aviation workers in Canada.
For over a decade, we have endured deeply unfair working conditions — locked into restrictive contracts that leave us with minimal job security, stagnant wages, and few benefits. During the COVID-19 pandemic, while most Canadians were supported through federal relief programs like CEWS, we were left behind. We continued to work on the front lines, risking our health and safety with no meaningful government protection or financial support.
Despite the sacrifices we’ve made, there has been no movement from Minister Hajdu to support fair wages, safe working conditions, or basic labour rights for flight attendants. Our concerns have been ignored. We are now being forced into yet another situation where we are expected to accept unacceptable conditions — dictated by both government inaction and corporate pressure.
This is not fair.
This is not humane.
This is not sustainable.
We deserve to be treated with dignity and respect — not as disposable workers in a broken system. Minister Hajdu has failed in her duty to protect Canadian workers and ensure just labour practices in the aviation sector. It is time for new leadership that will take our voices seriously.
We respectfully demand that Minister Patty Hajdu be removed from office, and that immediate action be taken to investigate the treatment of Air Canada flight attendants and all aviation workers across the country.
Sincerely,
Jeonga Lee
As a flight attendant who's 8 years in and still struggling to make ends meet, this was a very shady and unfair move. We have a right to have our voices heard. Put pressure on Air Canada, not us flight attendants
