    New shop owner asked me to help them unlock their WeChat? Not much of an idea here. I am guessing someone has reported them for inappropriate content? Quite likely another nearby shop?? Or a disgruntled customer?? A jaded employee??

    If it's a new WeChat, I've heard that you have to have an existing WeChat member vouch for you. If it's an existing account, there is a process to unlock - something like start the process, message (say sms) someone you've Wechatted with, and have them use a code... been a long time since I've had to do that (old phone dead so couldn't do a simple xfer). But there are instructions on WeChat.

    Wechat have admins which my understanding is who does the locking. Pretty sure only admins will unlock. Hence why new accounts are opened. And opening accounts is as you are saying. Unlocking/unbanning is a different beast 👍

    WeChat probably has an AI bot that scours and flags inappropriate content

    This sounds quite feasible. AI in the last 6 months has gone ballistic.

    No doubt, and without a doubt, AI involved. It is PRC after all. As I said, I had my account locked when I tried to sign-in on a new device without transferring "access" from my old device. Simple when old and new are functional, not so simple when the former is dead. Prevents someone from jacking your account.
