At least facebook employs enough devs that, hopefully, the Bacon number to a Facebook dev is 2-3.

For this crowd, maybe. What about the majority of the world? They’re SOL, which seems unacceptable.
I'm part of "this crowd." My Instagram was disabled without warning. Instagram barely actions their appeals process and I don't know anybody that works at Facebook. Neither do any of my friends. I'm also SOL.
The rest of the world can just email them. It's not like facebook employees are cut off from the rest of the world.
Yeah, nice try. My wife decided that she didn't want to share her age. Not being computer literate, she changed her age to zero. Yes, dumb move. She's never been able to get back on again.

Frankly, she did herself a favor. Facebook is toxic.

Email whom? OP just talked about how emailing support did nothing. What are you supposed to do if you don’t know anyone at Facebook?
Go through linkedin and email everybody ;)
Sounds like an idea for startup ;-) Serioualy, there's market for this, and people are gonna pay money for the service.
It exists, it's called Bookface ;) You pay 7% of equity to YC and you have access to engineers at FAANG.
Do your own networking / ask your own social network. Find an employee and then send an email. Find a discord server where one is and DM them. It's not impossible to talk to an a facebook employee as a random person. In the age of the internet we are all deeply connected.
