#Notice Decoder for Adult Sexual Solicitation
| Notice line | Likely meaning | First move |
|---|---|---|
| Adult sexual solicitation | Meta applied solicitation or explicit language rules to content or behaviour | Read Transparency Centre definition |
| 180 days to appeal | Appeal window before permanent disablement risk | Calendar the deadline in Malaysia time |
| Permanent disablement if you miss the window | Account may not return after the clock | File while the button still shows |
| Account integrity wording instead | Different notice family | Use the integrity 180-day article |
| Instagram solicitation disable | Different product | Use the Instagram solicitation guide |
#Appeal Clock Checklist
- Screenshot the full notice including the 180-day line.
- Save the content or context Meta named if it is still visible to you.
- Write a short factual appeal that answers solicitation, not a different policy.
- Submit through the official Facebook appeal path on the notice.
- Watch email and in-app Support Inbox for replies without opening random restore DMs.
Facebook's hacked account and recover a hacked account help apply if you also suspect a takeover planted the content. Phishing help covers fake restore helpers.

#What Only Meta Can Decide
Meta decides suspensions and appeal outcomes. Your part is a timely, factual appeal and no circumvention account.
Keep screenshots of every notice with the date in Malaysia time so later support chats match what you saw.
Prefer official help URLs you type yourself rather than buttons inside unexpected emails or DMs.
Ignore anyone who messages you offering a paid clear or a private tool.
Do not share your password, codes or session cookies with anyone who contacts you about this case.
Teams should nominate one owner for the case so staff do not file conflicting appeals from different logins.
After access returns, review connected apps and remove anything you do not recognise before you resume normal posting.
Tell close contacts through another channel that your account may send odd links until the situation is stable.
Write down the exact on-screen wording before you screenshot so later appeals match what the platform showed.

Document which devices still have an active session so you can sign them out in order once you regain control.
A calm checklist beats rushing a second account that can create more policy problems.
Share only the facts your staff need. Over-sharing passwords in a group chat creates a second incident.

#When It Is Safer to Get Expert Help
Getting help is safer when the notice is mixed with hack symptoms, when the profile is a public organising tool, or when one appeal chance remains. Wrong DIY replacement accounts can deepen enforcement.
If you are unsure about any step, or the profile matters to your work, having an experienced team check it is the safer choice. AwareXone does this work. See our Facebook account recovery page.
