Rosies, I couldn’t be extra upset to inform you this however Meta deleted my private Fb account and each my private Instagram and The Rose Desk’s Instagram. And sure, that is instantly tied to after I was hacked on December 6, 2022.
What does this imply?
This implies I misplaced 15 years of non-public recollections together with irreplaceable pictures and movies of my household in addition to my late horse Prince and canine Gabby. It makes me sick fascinated by it. I additionally misplaced my whole private community, admin entry to The Rose Desk’s Fb web page, and eight years of Rose Desk recollections on Instagram, together with all of my Disney Dinners tales that had been saved as highlights.
Why did they delete my accounts?
My Fb was hacked on December sixth and the hacker posted p***ography hyperlinks by way of my account for about one hour earlier than getting locked out of my account. As you understand, I used to be in a position to get my account again a number of days later and I used to be instructed by Meta workers that my account could be cleared of the whole lot posted by the hacker. It was not.
What’s extra is that the hacker actually stole my cash, diverting hundreds of {dollars} to a European financial institution with zero proof of identification. How Fb may launch funds overseas with none proof is completely insane to me. And sure, I had two-step authentication on and no, I by no means acquired textual content messages or an opportunity to additional safe my account. I’ve been attempting for 3 months to get my funds again and am all the time instructed “it’s getting escalated” and “we’ve let the workforce know” and different placating emails that get completely nothing performed.
I’ve since continued to commonly get locked out of my account. I feel I’ve been locked out seven instances since December. You wouldn’t know this, as I made my sister-in-law an admin of The Rose Desk’s Fb web page as quickly as I received it again and she or he continued to submit for me each time I received locked out. Every time I used to be suspended for a number of days, it will inform me what flagged my account and each single time it was a submit from December sixth.
I used to be hysterical final month after I misplaced my promoting rights and talent to go dwell in February, nonetheless resulting from what the hacker posted on December sixth. As you understand, I completely ADORE chatting with you guys dwell and used to go dwell almost each week however haven’t been ready to take action since early February. (And earlier than that, I didn’t go dwell as a result of I used to be mainly sick for 2 months however that isn’t Meta’s fault.) It was a thirty day suspension and I used to be excited to talk with you reside this weekend as quickly because the suspension lifted. Sadly with 5 days left, my account “was reviewed” and I used to be slapped with a 180 day suspension.
Now I used to be completely devastated as a result of I’ve LOTS of fantastic Rose Desk events arising that I needed to go dwell to inform you about and definitely deliberate on boosting so extra of my readers would see the events. I believed this was the worst information ever however I used to be unsuitable. I awakened the following morning to information that my private Fb account and each of my Instagram accounts had been disabled. I appealed the choice and heard again from Meta in 8 hours with information that they denied my attraction and my accounts had been being completely deleted.
That is completely surprising as a result of Meta has ample documentation that I used to be hacked on December sixth and has invested an unlimited sum of money into The Rose Desk as a creator through the years. It makes zero monetary sense for them to do that to considered one of their creators when quite a few Meta workers are totally conscious that I used to be hacked and each strike towards me is from the day I used to be hacked. It additionally makes little to no sense why The Rose Desk’s Instagram account could be dragged into this when the hacker solely posted spam from my private Fb account.
I really feel completely gutted. Not solely did I lose admin entry to The Rose Desk’s Fb web page, my major social media account, not solely did I lose irreplaceable recollections on Instagram and each single considered one of my Instagram followers, but in addition fifteen years of my life on Fb. I’ve been the largest fan of Fb since my brother had me enroll in 2007, commonly shouting my love for Fb from the rooftops. When each different creator was flocking to different social media platforms in droves, I stayed and curated hundreds of hours value of content material for Fb, amassing 208,000 followers and over 30,000,000 views final yr alone. I really feel so betrayed.
The place ought to I observe The Rose Desk now?
One of the best factor you are able to do to by no means miss Rose Desk content material is to bookmark therosetable.com (I submit new recipes right here each single week!) and join Rose Desk emails. I’ve been actually unhealthy about sending emails, typically solely sending perhaps 4-6 a yr however I’m going to attempt to do no less than a month-to-month digest.
My sister-in-law nonetheless has entry to The Rose Desk’s Fb web page and is posting for me so don’t unfollow it. (Shoutout by the way in which to my ridiculously superior sister-in-law who actually texted me committing to posting 3 times a day for me mainly eternally. That’s actually going above and past her SIL duties!!) Sadly she doesn’t nevertheless have full admin rights and subsequently can not give my new private account admin entry, which means I’m locked out of The Rose Desk’s Fb web page. I’m attempting to no less than get Meta to proper this as I’ve performed completely nothing unsuitable at any level. The considered getting locked out of my very own firm web page is completely insufferable.
I’ve launched a brand new Instagram account for The Rose Desk: @therosetableblog. Please, please, please go observe me there. I’ll seemingly begin doing lives on Instagram since I can’t entry my Fb web page for lives. I can be reposting all of my Disney Dinners and praying Meta doesn’t delete that account.
You may as well observe The Rose Desk on TikTok, Pinterest, and Twitter. I’ve quite a few Pinterest boards devoted to my events!
Lengthy dwell the Rose that rose from concrete.

Lots of my pals urged that I write a weblog submit explaining what’s happening since that is my true residence on-line so I hope this helped clear the whole lot up. I’ll maintain you guys posted on the whole lot however relaxation assured: The Rose Desk will go on. Meta can not erase my model identification from the web. I can’t permit it. I can’t cease preventing. I’ve spent the final eight years of my life constructing the magical world that’s The Rose Desk and nobody will take that away from me.
