Since you used pounds as the currency I will assume you are in the UK, if so the GDPR applies and you might be in luck in terms of recovering your data.
If you see an option to download your data on the "account suspended" page, use it, or try to access the feature directly: https://www.facebook.com/help/212802592074644 https://www.facebook.com/help/212802592074644
That should at least give you an export of all the media uploaded by the account.
If you can't, it might be worth getting in touch with the ICO or a pro-privacy non-profit such as Open Rights Group (https://www.openrightsgroup.org https://www.openrightsgroup.org) or NOYB (https://noyb.eu/en https://noyb.eu/en) and ask for advice on how to do a subject access request to manually get your data back, and on top of that why not request a manual review of your account suspension (the GDPR mandates that a data subject has the right to request a review of any automated decision).
- Radim 5y agoSeconded on NOYB. These guys are amazing! They punch way above their weight in protecting citizens and suing bad actors [0] (actual lawyers) Did you know NOYB stands for "none-of-your-business"?

- wizzwizz4 5y agoIn my experience, Facebook ignores GDPR requires coming from the UK… not that you can really submit one if your account is suspended. The more reports the ICO gets, the bigger the chance that they'll do something about it.
- e12e 5y agoI know the UK has a similar law to GDPR/is currently keeping GDPR on the books - but the actual GDPR only applies to the EU/EEC? (so not Britain after brexit?)
- lsjfd 5y agoThank you. I'll take a look at these!
