UPDATE 8/26 We have gained back access to our Facebook page! Here's what we did and what we recommend: - Reach out to any contact you have at Meta. We had an official representative at Meta with our verified account, so we reached out immediately to them and explained the situation. - If you're not verified, apply or sign up for Meta Verified (it will help you get more immediate support) - File a Help Desk or Customer Care report - Change all your passwords, and make sure you have your backup codes saved Thanks for tuning in to our podcast, Two Cents! 💚 More resources: 👂 Got a story you want us to react to?
