Unfortunately, numerous Rotary club and district Facebook pages and Instagram accounts have been closed by Meta without prior notice. This issue has escalated recently, and Rotary International is working closely with Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram) to find a solution.
While a root cause or guaranteed method for restoration has not yet been identified, Meta has now reinstated several Rotary-related pages at Rotary International’s request. With your help, Rotary International can identify additional pages that need reinstatement.
Rotary clubs and districts can complete a form via the following link (on.rotary.org/fbissue) so their Facebook and Instagram pages can be added to Meta’s “allow list” as part of Rotary International’s efforts to resolve the issue.
Please indicate in the form if a page has already been removed by Meta. Page administrators will then receive an email with specific instructions and an official letter from Rotary International to support their restoration efforts.
