# Why is my social media, game, or other app blocked?

## Appetize blocks certain apps for unpaid accounts as there are security risks for both you and the Appetize platform.

We block certain social apps like Facebook and Instagram for unpaid accounts, as well as some games and other third party apps. To use these apps, please purchase a paid plan and contact support with a request to run these apps for legitimate business use. Appetize reserves the right to deny these requests if we consider the use case not to be in line with our company policies.
