Facebook review: Live Video on Facebook

I am absolutely devastated with how Facebook deleted my Live video without a single warning. I filmed my son’s graduation from Princeton University using Facebook Live option. It was the only digital memory I took from this most important moment of our lives. Over the past month, I received tonns of other notifications urging me to watch other people’s stories, reels, and content. Facebook spends so much money to make sure people forget why they come to the platform and spend more time watching reels and stories. Yet, not a single notification or grace period for things that are really important! Ironically, the Facebook’s feed distracted me to the point where I repeatedly forgot my original reason for opening the app — to download that priceless video. Now, I’ve discovered the video is gone. I was never shown a clear and urgent warning that such meaningful content would be permanently deleted without any reminders. This type of action should be shown as an alarm on people’s profiles! Had I seen one, I would have saved it immediately. This experience has been heartbreaking. I feel betrayed by a platform I trusted. After I paid such a devastating price of being on this platform, I don’t even want to open the app anymore — every time I do, it just reminds me of what I’ve lost. If I hadn’t trusted Facebook, I would’ve brought a camera to record it with 🤦‍♀️ The worst part is that I have no idea who to contact. There’s no support, no human response — just a generic feedback form that leads nowhere. 💔 I’m begging Meta: please check if these videos can still be recovered from internal backups. I’m fully willing to pay for recovery costs. Please! Please escalate this request. This isn’t about a file — it’s about preserving one of the most important memories in my life.
