All my linked accounts suspended because of my younger brother's account – no appeal button

Hello,

My Instagram accounts and my Facebook account were all suspended at the same time, and I cannot find any way to appeal.

Accounts affected:
- Instagram: @[your content account username]
- Instagram: @[your personal account username]
- Facebook: [your Facebook profile name]

When I log in, I see: "We suspended your account. Your Instagram account was suspended because you have another account that doesn't follow our rules." It says I have 180 days left to appeal, but there is no "Request a review" or "Disagree with decision" button. There are only "How we made this decision" and "Log out". I have tried on the app (updated), on a browser and on a different device, and nothing works.

The account that broke the rules belongs to my younger brother. It was logged in on my phone, which is why it was linked to my accounts. My own accounts did not break any rules. I am an adult and I am happy to verify my age and identity with my ID or a video selfie.

Could a Meta team member please review my accounts or tell me how to submit an appeal? Thank you.
