Accountability by email domain

To keep advertisers accountable, we verify your business email domain and apply enforcement to the whole domain. For example, if marketing@acmecorp.com is suspended, every account using an @acmecorp.com address is suspended too. This prevents backup accounts made with other employees' addresses, and getting around a suspension with another address.

Appeals

72 hours to appeal: appeal within 72 hours of the notice, or the decision becomes final.
A second analysis by A.I.: our A.I. system analyzes your content again with your arguments.
A recommendation: the A.I. writes a report with your arguments, similar past cases and its confidence.
Human review within 72 hours: a moderator reads the report and decides within 72 hours.
If no one decides: when no moderator acts within 72 hours, the A.I.’s recommendation becomes the decision.
The answer: you are told the outcome within five days in all.

Permanent bans (ten strikes or more) and attempts to get around a suspension cannot be appealed. Without an appeal within 72 hours, the strike is final.
