What if Facebook or Google deletes your account tomorrow? Protecting sensitive data from AI and human moderation

Assume the worst case, calmly The most resilient setup starts with one question: if Google or Meta closed your account tonight, what would I lose? Write the list down. It is almost always longer than expected: photos, contracts, scanned IDs, tax records, recovery codes, client briefs, years of email attachments, group chats.

Why "I am careful" is not a defence The decisions that take accounts down are not made by you. They are made by AI classifiers and human reviewers responding to AI flags. Their thresholds change. Their training data changes. A perfectly behaved user can still hit a false positive.

The two failure modes - Loss: data becomes inaccessible. - Leak: data becomes accessible to people it should not be.

A ban tends to cause loss. An AI scan and reviewer queue tend to cause leak. A resilient setup defends against both.

The architecture that handles both - Canonical store for sensitive files: zero-knowledge vault (DRIVUNO). - Working store for collaboration: whatever cloud the team uses. - Cold copy for disaster recovery: an external encrypted drive.

Zero-knowledge means the server cannot read your files — so a ban cannot weaponise the plaintext, and a breach cannot leak the plaintext.

The 30-minute starter - Export your Google and Meta archives now. - Move IDs, contracts, medical records and irreplaceable photos into an encrypted vault. - Store 2FA recovery codes outside the providers they protect. - Replace one risky share link per week with an end-to-end encrypted one.

You cannot prevent every automated decision. You can make sure that, when one of them lands on your account, your real data is already somewhere they cannot touch.
