My Facebook account, about 15 years old (yes, going back to the days when it was only open to those at certain colleges), was disabled without warning:
Your Account Has Been Disabled
For more information, or if you think your account was disabled by mistake, please visit the Help Center.
The Help Center link says:
Why was my account disabled?
Your account was disabled for violating Facebook's Terms. Please review our Community Standards to learn more about what's allowed on Facebook. If you think your account was disabled by mistake, please let us know.
The "let us know" link gives me a form which I've filled out with a copy of my driver's license (and heard nothing back), but based on what it says I don't think it's the right outlet. When searching for "disabled" in Help Center, I see
Why is my account disabled?
We disable Facebook accounts that don't follow the Facebook Terms.
Some examples include:
Posting content that doesn't follow the Facebook Terms.
Using a fake name.
Impersonating someone.
Continuing behavior that's not allowed on Facebook by violating our Community Standards.
Contacting other people for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, or other conduct that's not allowed.
I do not believe any of the above applies to me:
* I almost never posted anything to Facebook, much less anything political/controversial. Mostly I used the account to sometimes "Like" companies when required to enter giveaways.
* I used my real name.
* I never contacted anyone other than a couple of times to request customer support for non Facebook-related products.
I do not know anyone who works at Facebook. Suggestions?
