I've been trying to login a dating site which I no longer use and unsubscribe and deactivate the account but for some reason every time I've tried to log in, It keeps telling me that I've been blocked by an administrator and when I looked up why this happens, its because it may have detected suspicious activity and that has upset and worry me because I always used to use it responsibly. I was told that it maybe because I use an android phone now and my details maybe different on the account as I may have not updated it, I don't know. It is just frustrating me right now almost to the point where I just want to burst into tears. It makes me feel like nothing is as easy or simple to solve sometimes as its supposed to be.

Perhaps the account has been hacked, that would explain why suspicious activity was detected.

Are they still making you pay for it?

I'm off it now. I still seem to feel that dating apps are popular. I remember finding out before dating sites and apps were in infancy, 1 in 8 people had met someone online. I don't if it's decreased somewhat because I hear other people doing the same as me. I've used tinder but I hear people saying that people just use tinder for a hook-up which seems to put me off but even on there I get few messages or views on there. Because of little luck it's made me, what's the point and perhaps like social media in another thread I've mentioned, maybe it should never have come into existence.

Think that's bad, I have a profile on Facebook that I can't log into anymore - lost the email account. It has a bunch of junk on there from twenty years ago I'd like to remove, but can't. Facebook will not help. They don't care. It's a mess.

Once you put stuff out on the Internet, the companies are monetizing that data and don't want to release their filthy clutches.
