An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.

They have backups, that’s not the point. https://hey.paris/posts/appleid/

    It's not a backup if they don't have at least one rotation in physical possession.

    There is no mention of that being the case (or otherwise). But the fact that the author is clearly explaining they don’t have data loss, they have more or less bricked devices makes it seem like this is a bad faith argument.
