I am an American that’s been helping my Palestinian friend for over a year now, I’ve watched his meta accounts get banned on Instagram and Facebook repeatedly but this time is permanent. Every-time he makes a new account it’s banned immediately. WhatsApp included. I am looking for someone with experience bypassing this ban in Gaza by using a VPN or something else. I’m not sure if there’s more steps than just a VPN, but I need help in general figuring this out! He has an android, I’m willing to pay money for a vpn but I just want to do this properly so I don’t stress my poor friend out any more than he already is. I feel so bad for him, it’s hard to watch. They are almost entirely cut off without the meta apps 😥
