First my account was blocked from advertising; this was resolved by 1) giving Facebook my mobile phone number 2) uploading picture of a photo ID, and 3) filing an appeal. The appeal was granted, and my ad started running.
Then last night I was locked out of my account entirely; I'm getting a message that I did something which violated Facebook's community standards (which is odd, given I haven't done practically anything at all with this account).
Facebook asked me to upload a photo showing my face and said they would review my appeal. Now the only screen I can see when I attempt to access my Facebook account says "We Received Your Information. If we still find that your account didn't follow our Community Standards, it will remain disabled. We're always looking out for the security of people on Facebook, so until then you can't use your account."
Has this happened to anyone else before? Anyone have any tips for what I can do here, other than just wait? Honestly baffling considering I haven't done anything that I'd imagine an automated system misconstruing as violating any community standards.
I recently left my job to focus on a company I'm starting, and I'm thinking about incorporating. I'm trying to decide how to go about doing this and was hoping to get some advice from others who have gone through this experience.
I don't have any cofounders, but I'm planning on incorporating with a Delaware C corporation because I'm expecting to have paying customers soon, and though I don't have any immediate fundraising plans, I want to leave open that possibility in the future. Am I correct that it makes sense for me to incorporate now?
Secondly, I'm trying to understand the differences between Clerky and Stripe Atlas, the two services I'm considering. I've ready the Satchel guide (https://satchel.com/incorporation/), but the issues they ding Stripe Atlas for don't seem like a huge deal to me. I also like that Stripe Atlas would be integrated with Stripe and would open a bank account for me, as I'm planning on using Stripe to accept payments. On the other hand, I've seen pretty universally positive reviews from people who have used Clerky. Any have any opinions on which one is better?
Lastly, I'm pretty confused by Clerky's product offerings (https://www.clerky.com/pricing). They have a "Company Lifetime Package" for $799, and then a bunch of different "Pay Per Use" items (https://www.clerky.com/pricing#pay-per-use) that you can buy separately. The formation pay per use items include Incorporation (which I know is necessary), as well as "Post-Incorporation Setup" and "Foreign Qualification". Does anyone know which of these are actually necessary for me?
I'm leaning towards Stripe Atlas, as it only has a single offering. Everyone seems to like Clerky, but I'm concerned about either overpaying for services I don't need, or neglecting to choose some item that I'll later find out I needed.
Thanks in advance for the help! - Sam
