My Facebook account was shut down without explanation in 2019. Despite its age (15 years) I barely used it, let alone for anything "controversial", but did regularly log into it. I repeatedly tried to verify my identity by submitting an image of my driver's license, without any response.
If a Facebook employee is reading this ... I don't want to create a fake new Facebook account (which would be against the TOS, anyway). My account is so old that it was created back when only those associated with certain universities could get one. I want that one back.
- weci2i 5y agoThe same thing happened to me in 2019. I fought hard for a while and then gave up. I thought maybe I could drum up some public support (and work my way to a facebook connection who could restore it) by blogging about it and posting here...but nobody cared.
- gscott 5y agoFacebook said I was hurting people by "liking" (thumbs up) on there posts. They still ban me from liking posts occasionally.
- veb 5y agoI've owed Facebook $150 USD from an ad campaign I ran for a non-profit group for years now. Maybe 6? They still haven't banned me. They'll occasionally ask (as a small alert you can cancel out of) for it. I was hoping they'd ban me so I wouldn't have to go through the hoops to delete the account. No such luck, haha. I rarely visit though, I'll use `messenger.com` for close friends/family, that's about it. I just learned to minimise my usage on `facebook.com` and it's been fine. I do understand others have a lot of difficulty doing this and deleting their account seems to be easiest for them. (but it's never really deleted tho is it?)
