My video about a local protest got flagged for 'harmful content' and it took 17 days to get it back up

I posted a simple 3 minute video from a housing rights march in my city, just showing people with signs. No violence, just chanting. The platform took it down the next day, saying it broke their rules on dangerous groups. I filed an appeal right away. I got the same automated reply three times over two weeks saying it was under review. I finally got a real person to look at it after I emailed their press contact. The whole thing took 17 days to resolve. Has anyone else had a newsy video wrongly removed and found a better way to get it reviewed fast?

That's the standard automated mess these days. The only thing that works is making enough public noise to force a human review. It's a broken system for anything remotely political.

Isn't this just how customer service works now too?
