Sending a formal legal notice to Meta

A short, factual letter on paper gets read by different people than an in-app appeal.

A formal notice puts your dispute on the record, asks for specific things (human review, reasons, your data) and sets a deadline. You don't need a lawyer to send one, though a lawyer's letterhead adds weight.

Common mistakes

• Threatening things you won't do. Every threat in the letter should be real.
• Writing pages of backstory. Keep it to one page.
• Leaving out your username or email, so they can't find the account.
