Tell HN: Meta developer account suspended
By

Hi all, my Meta developer account was suddenly restricted without warning, and there’s no way to appeal or reach support. I believe this may have been triggered by a location (read, IP address) change: I’m a student-entrepreneur who recently moved from China to Kenya for school holidays.
I’m building a WhatsApp-based accounting tool for African small businesses, and this restriction is blocking critical operations. I’ve come across others facing the same issue, with no review option or clear reason: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatsappBusinessAPI/comments/1kvolv...

Some of the people in these posts were able to contact Meta support, but it seems like Meta has disabled direct support chats.
Thanks in advance.
