Dear ,
My name is , and I’m part of the Access Now Digital Security Helpline. Thank you for reaching out.
While we understand the hardship you are going through, unfortunately, we cannot assist you with your request, as we have determined that it falls outside of the scope of assistance of the Digital Security Helpline.

Also, please note that Access Now’s work includes recommendations to social media platforms to improve their response to content moderation issues, including ensuring that their decisions conform to the principles of transparency and proportionality, and that they provide direct access to an effective remedy for all users. The protection of your human rights, online and off, is the utmost priority for us. In keeping with this commitment, we strongly encourage platforms to comply with international human rights law when crafting and deploying their content moderation practices.
