I'm Sorry but I need to vent. My wife and I own a legitimate small business but continue to face an uphill battle advertising. While our industry giants continue to use paid advertising without repercussion. Tonight in the latest saga, Microsoft let us run up a bill and then decided to close our advertising account with no reason. Here is the chat:

You said: sure, take your time
-
You said: thanks
-
Agent said: Thank you so much for patiently waiting.

You said: no problem

Agent said: As per checking on the said account, I am afraid to say that it is already permanently closed by our account specialist and for privacy and security reason they don't disclose the specific reason for closure. I know that this has an impact with your business, Justin and that's why I am really eager to help. It's just that our account specialist closed the account after thoroughly reviewing it. I hope that you'll understand me with this.
-
You said: no i dont understand
-
You said: why was it closed
-
You said: that doesnt make sense
-
You said: Why was my account closed?
-
You said: why was i not contacted
-
You said: what kind of bullshit operation do you people run
-
Agent said: I totally understand that you want to know the reason for closure, Justin. I really want to provide you the reason since I know how it feels and I know how confusing it is on your end. However, as per our process. The account specialist can't provide the reason for closure to maintain security and privacy of your account and our platform.
-
You said: haha you really made me laugh outloud
-
You said: so since you couldn't fulfill your end ill be blocking the charge for the balance on the account.
-
You said: and ill be posting this on every platform to show how big tech is trying to limit free speech.
-
You said: thank you Jesther
-
Agent said: I know that this really has an impact on your business, Justin. I wish as well to assist you in different concern instead of this like achieving your campaign goal. However, this is something that I don't have control with.
I know i lost it a bit at the end but this is the 3 account this week and 12th total because of our industry. Thanks for listening.
