UPDATE: Meta Erases Our Hack History
From September 26 to October 15, 2024, the record of what hackers did to our verified Facebook page is gone.
For nearly a year, we’ve been documenting the hijacking of my verified Facebook page, JimHeathTV, by foreign criminals. We’ve shown the screenshots. We’ve published the case numbers. We’ve laid out the exact timeline of how hackers ran tens of thousands of dollars in fraudulent Reels ads through my account — while Meta looked the other way.
Now, we’ve uncovered something even more alarming.
When we checked the deep activity history for JimHeathTV this week, we found a black hole in the records. All page activity between September 26 and October 15, 2024 — the exact window when the hackers first took control — is missing. Gone. Deleted.
This isn’t just missing posts or ads. It’s everything: logins, asset assignments, business account movements. The kind of records that would show exactly what the hackers did, where they logged in from, and how they moved my verified page into their control.
The only reason I can still prove what happened is because I kept my own receipts. Screenshots I took in real time now stand as the only evidence left.
How We Got Here
Sept. 26, 2024 — Hackers first access my verified Facebook page.
Sept. 27, 4:09 AM — Hacker account “Petra Öhler” adds herself to my page.
Sept.–Oct. 2024 — Hackers create a business account I did not approve, run tens of thousands in fraudulent Reels ads, and take full operational control.
Jan. 2025 — I shift my focus from YouTube to Facebook, unaware the hacked business page is still connected and poisoning my algorithm.
Mar.–Jun. 2025 — I report the problem to Meta. Over a dozen Meta “Pro Team” reps pass me around with no fix.
May 9, 2025 — Monetization for videos and Reels cut off without appeal. Reach collapses.
July 1, 2025 — I go public on Substack. My page briefly comes back to life.
July 18, 2025 — A second Substack post brings another short boost.
Aug. 2025 — Discovery of missing September–October 2024 logs from Meta’s backend.
Aug. 2025 — JimHeathTV page suppressed. No new activity. No new followers. Revenue at its lowest all year. Undiscoverable in search.
The New Reality
Our analytics now show suppression is still in full force:
Follower growth has reversed for the first time in 2025 — a verified journalism page that posts daily, with shares and engagement, is suddenly losing likes.
Reach and engagement remain far below normal.
Instagram growth is at zero since it remains disconnected from my main account.
Revenue potential is crippled — Meta took tens of thousands in illegal hacker cash but is suppressing legitimate nonprofit journalism.
This is not just about free speech — it’s about a trillion-dollar company profiting from a crime while destroying the victim’s ability to operate.
What We Now Know
Meta hasn’t fixed the algorithmic penalty.
Meta has erased the visible historical record of the hack from their own backend.
The only intact timeline exists because I documented it myself.
Meta is fully aware that a foreign hack ran tens of thousands of dollars in fraudulent ads through my verified page. Yet it’s becoming clear they are more concerned with burying the story than simply fixing the victimized account.
We’ve been pressing for months. They may be tired of it. But the fact remains: a verified journalist’s account was hacked, exploited for profit, silenced — and now the public record of that hack has been scrubbed.
Mark Zuckerberg has spent more than $110 million expanding his 5,600-square-foot Palo Alto home, complete with an entertainment center, outdoor staging area, and a private school for 14 students. Meanwhile, the trillion-dollar company he runs has practically zero customer service — and no interest in fixing a credentialed journalist’s hacked, suppressed page.
Just 448 days until the most important and pivotal midterm election of our lifetime. Is Facebook truly going to be just a place for pro-Trump, pro-Republican propaganda?
Who is keeping an eye on this? I can’t be the only story out there.
