Update on Snapchat Bans: How EU citizens can use the DSA to hold Snap accountable

Common issue

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to drop a quick update, share my personal timeline, and issue a massive warning for anyone currently dealing with a sudden, unfair Snapchat ban.

I am located in the EU and filed a formal DSA inquiry form regarding my wrongful ban on May 26th at 11:15 AM. It has now been well over 48 hours with absolutely zero response or acknowledgment from Snapchat.

Under the European Digital Services Act (DSA), tech platforms are legally required to give you a transparent, fair, and timely review of content moderation decisions (like account bans). Snapchat is currently under heavy scrutiny by the EU Commission, so it is incredibly important that we exercise our rights and hold them accountable.

If you are located in the EU and your account was wrongfully banned, please make sure you submit an official internal appeal via Snapchat's DSA channels. If they ignore you or give you an automated rejection, you have the right to escalate it to your country's national Digital Services Coordinator (DSC).

Let's gather data: If you have already filled out a DSA inquiry/complaint form regarding a Snapchat ban, please comment below with your timeline so we can track how long they are taking:
Country: Date Banned:
Date DSA Complaint Filed:
Current Status / Response Time from Snapchat:

Tracking these timeframes will help all of us figure out exactly how Snapchat is handling these issues and if they are violating the DSA's "timely review" mandates.

Stay safe, keep fighting for your data, and let’s keep each other updated!
