This might be of interest to some of us:

A video about fighting false-positive bans via the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Sadly it can only help European Union residents. Maybe there is something similar in the US or other countries. 

I am in the process of filing GDPR requests to Electronic Arts and Easy Anti-Cheat.

I have also filed a complaint with the ECC-Net (The European Consumer Centres Network): https://www.eccnet.eu/

I can only encourage anyone who truly has been wrongfully banned to do the same. The more this happens, the better for everyone.

They might hold the ban-hammer and hide behind copy-paste responses. However, we are protected by laws, specifically designed to protect the rights of just regular people against multi-billion Euro/Dollar companies. They can be imposed with fines as high as 20 million if they do not comply.

If we do not use the tools given to us, there is no hope!

@maxeffectiii Interesting. I am curious to see how this turns out.
One has to both accept that cheating exists and that also mistaken verdicts exist. If you are yet one more of the victims then maybe you will end up helping to uncover what in tarnation is causing so many people to end up in that situation

    @UP_Hawxxeye After being this active in any forum.. only on this very thread.. after 3 tickets to EA providing many info including video & image.. 1 ticket to EAC.. 194 hours of gameplay , almost that much of it streamed to people.. I am 28 y/o.. was good at the game as well, literally no incentive, drive or need to hack.. banned on 21st of December, LITERALLY on my birthday.. made 3 people directly purchase the game due to my streams.. and I am still banned.
    Funny thing is, I was actually having SO much fun in the game.. really so much fun despite it's shortcomings.. No matter what I was even hopeful about it turning out to be a decent, widely loved game in the future.

    But I am banned.. I paid 600 Turkish Liras in a country where it's considered a very.. very very expensive purchase.. how can "data" mean this much to EA? Data being faulty is not a new thing for Battlefield titles.. why is it that EA is so stubborn upon taking control over their respectful & honest paying customers?

    I honestly believe the majority of people who were falsely banned here in this thread are the people who want to LOVE and PLAY the game the MOST. I think not even the people who play daily LOVE this game as much as we do......
