I hope the poster is able to reach Facebook / Meta and resolve this - but I wanted to, in fine HN tradition, go off an a related tangent - the recent Pycon keynote by Cory Doctorow - who’s pointed out that for decades the US has threatened economic sanctions (ie tariffs) against allies in order to get their way in things like digital markets.

But now the tariff gun has been fired there is little incentive not to make the digital global markets a level playing field - enforce open interoperability, reduce the cost of App Stores and so on - something that would enable a small entrepreneur in Kenya to build on top of a global spanning utility platform without fear or favour
