I don't have a specific solution for you, but I also run a domain with some thousands of subdomains and is always a fight to not be banned from Google, Meta, internet operators etc. Sometimes is enough one bad actor under one of your subdomains to have a full ban on the whole domain.
What I suggest is for your and your clients to contact Meta through the Business Center support. Their support for paying clients is much better. I would also recommend you become a Meta Business Partner if Facebook/Instagram is important for your SaaS.
- jefftk 4y ago> Sometimes is enough one bad actor under one of your subdomains to have a full ban on the whole domain. If you're running independent subdomains where a bad actor on one should not affect the reputation of the rest, you probably should add your domain to the public suffix list: https://publicsuffix.org https://publicsuffix.org
- simonbackx 4y agoThanks, I didn't know about that list. I'll try that!
- hirsin 4y agoNote that adding your domain to the PSL changes how browsers interact with it, so don't do it lightly. In particular, no more cookies for the parent domain.
- notacoward 4y ago> Their support for paying clients is much better. Perhaps worth it in this situation, but isn't that basically paying protection money? "Nice domain you've got there. Shame if anything happened to it."
- bluGill 4y agoIf you are using their services for something important you should pay for it. I use fastmail not gmail for this reason: email is too important for me to risk on an account I don't pay for. I don't pay for youtube, because I don't care if they go out of business. I probably would pay for facebook if possible (but only if they make it FACEbook - not political memes, offensive jokes, and cat pictures) as it is a good way to keep in touch with distant friends.
- TomSwirly 4y ago> If you are using their services for something important But they aren't. Their URLs are simply blocked by Facebook, who happens to be a popular third-party website.
- martin_a 4y ago> Their support for paying clients is much better. It would really be a shame if something was to happen to your domain in our ecosystem because you're not a paying partner. They're mobsters.
- dymk 4y agoYou think you should get everything for free or something?
- another_story 4y agoYou think Facebook isn't getting something out of allowing users to sign into other sites through them?
- dymk 4y agoYou think the site isn't getting something out of allowing users to click a social media button to sign in?
- yellowapple 4y agoIt's almost as if the button is mutually beneficial and that only a greedy moron would threaten to break it unless paid yet more money.
- CelticBard 4y agoYes
- squarefoot 4y ago> Their support for paying clients is much better. One could argue that is the whole point behind making life for non paying users harder.
- theanonymousone 4y agoThen how come GeoCities, Heroku, Vercel, GH Pages and others survived?
- base 4y agoThey workout the issues like everyone else, and at a certain size the issue is minimized as you are either in several whitelists or human moderators recognise your domain. Most of those services also let clients setup their own domain name, so a ban is a more of a inconvenience to deal, than business critical like in OP case.
- NonNefarious 4y agoI wonder if these assholes (Meta, Google) could be prosecuted under a Net Neutrality law for blocking particular sites.
