An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.



this happened to my 6 year old reddit account a couple weeks ago. i didnt break any rules that im aware of and its kinda devastating, as i use it to learn about tech and find new software. im happy to be here, and will remain active here, but it was such a valuable resource for me, and i feel like it was stolen from me.
