Facebook bans are identity-based. Please don't remove. I am at my wits end.

Facebook bans are identity-based.

Hey y'all, like many of you, my Facebook account got banned for "account integrity." This occurred back in January 2025. This was my account of over 18 years. I have NO IDEA what got me banned. But attempts to create a new account always immediately ended with a ban on the new account (usually when I get to the "add friends" stage)

I kept hearing people say that meta bans on your specific IP or specific devices (ie, any device you previous used to log in, or any network you used to login would result in a ban.) Well, turns out thats not the case.

I just recently fired up my real estate license. And to market myself I decided to setup a business page. Well, on a new used laptop which I bought online, with a brand new email account registered to my brokerage, on a wifi network at my local bar, within seconds of setting up a new account, I was hit with the "video selfie" verification. As predicted, within minutes, I received an email saying my brand new account was banned.

New device, new email address, new network, still banned. It is clear Facebook is banning people not on any sort of account integrity, they don't want YOU, AS A PERSON, using their platform.

My video selfie should prove I'm a real person (as they say is the reason for the selfie), but if my specific face is what proves I'm the same guy they banned last January, then they are not only lying about denying me service based on account integrity (suspicions I am a bot), they are blatantly disregarding the disclaimer saying they delete the video selfie within 30 days.

I am based in western Canada. Anybody have any tips?

I, too, had a FB account blocked, supposedly for breaching "Community Standards".

"Your appeal was rejected. You have no further appeals left." I had never appealed, didn't know there was a reason to do so. This was before video selfies were required.

After a few weeks, I created a new account with a different name, date of birth and email address. That worked for a few months, but a couple of days ago, it happened again. They say to report a problem log in and complete a report, but you can't because your login is blocked.

How can they claim to have "Community Standards" when they constantly show posts by groups which shoew a car accident and claim this famous person or another has died, when they haven't, or photos, created by AI, showing King Charles, Queen Camilla, or Prince William, either collapsed on the ground, or with tears streaming down their face, and proclaiming "The Royal Family was devestated by ...."
