Banned... Why?
I have been permanently banned from my long-standing Facebook account. No explanation & no appeal allowed. The claim is that I violated their Community Standards. WHICH Community Standard? No explanation is forthcoming. 99.9% of my posts are public. I do not use abusive language or engage in illegal activity or harassment. I am politically vocal, but not much over the past several months due to health issues. I've received rare censorship for "Fake News" postings, all of which were well-buried in my nearly decade-long history of postings. I suspect that this banning resulted from Facebook's recent banning of crypto company advertising, because the banning happened within 2 hours of a status update where I was discussing a personal Bitcoin situation. I DID NOT post an links or mention any crypto companies & therefore was in no way advertising for any. I was simply discussing a recent development in my personal investment history. Again, I DID NOT identify any company. Also recently, one of my group postings was reported & locked for 'spamming. I was offering to GIVE AWAY a FREE major appliance, which I had originally purchased via eBay. For simplicity in informing interested parties about the appliance features, I posted a link to an identical item which was currently available on eBay. It was clearly NOT my intent to sell anything, as the very first word in my posting was"FREE" & I made it clear in the posting that the link was for information purposes only. So, unless Facebook has managed to dig up another historically OLD posting as an excuse to ban me. Regardless of their excuse, they are out of line to not even offer evidence of wrong-doing. Even with the controversy over the upcoming elections, I have remained silent for months on the political scene, with the exception of 2 shared posts with personal commentary. One was on the passing of SCOTUS RBG & was a mild satirical comment. The other was within the past 48 hours: an Epoch Times news release regarding the biased results an investigation of Facebook's Fact-checkers. And again, I only included a mild satirical comment on that shared posting.
I have strong reason to believe in Facebook's biases & also believe they are being petty in banning my long-standing account. They will discover that my followers are very unhappy with this action. I downloaded all of my Facebook data just this month because I foresaw this arbitrary action coming as many of my friends & family have also been banned for unclear reasons. So I have a full record f my friends, family & followers, whom I WILL be contacting privately about this banning. I will also be seeking to join any class-action lawsuits available regarding this matter.
Banned or blocked my account without a proper reason.
This is the message I get when I try to log in. You can't use Facebook because your account, or activity on it, didn't follow our Community Standards. We have already reviewed this decision and it can't be reversed. To learn more about the reasons why we disable accounts visit the Community Standards.

Trolling
Every time I get out of facebook jail, for reposting something that was "already on facebook", I am sent back. Why? Because your algorithm
Is incapable of detecting complaints from one set of sources? Or because it doesn't notify me and give me a chance to either rebut or prove that the same post was already on face book without repercussions to the original people posting said "offensive" posts.
Ultimately my freedom of speech is denied, and the favored trolls are set free to silence others.
Debit card charge from facebook and I don’t even own a facebook account
I was charged 51.84 from facebook the charge said 51.84 facebk nxa8sw6wm2 I don't have a facebook I have had one many years ago but deleted my account before I even had a bank account today I look on my account and seen there was a charge from facebk nxa8sw6wm2 for the amount of 51.84 called my bank to see what that was from because the last time I had used my card was at the gas station for 6.29 of gas and that was on the 24th of august they asked if I purchased something on facebook I don't even have a facebook to make a purchase from they canceled my debit card and sending a new one if I get another charge I am getting a lawyer!
General contractor
Michael/Mike/Mikey Dempster is/was the owner of M&M Home Improvement Inc in Red Deer. He's registered with the BBB but his link to his Facebook page seems to be missing or he deleted it.
I interviewed him, but did not check any references, before I had him install a new shower stall. He never installed/sealed it correctly and mold was growing. I also had him rebuild my back deck and it was when he would not replace a "4 dollar fix" (his words) that his lack of honesty and competence came into play. I sued him in Small Claims court (civil). We went to mediation and agreed on an amount. He paid the first half the same day and failed to pay the 2nd half in the time frame he wanted. In July 2020 I obtained a Judgement Order for his defaulting on the mediation agreement. He is not registered as a General Contractor (he told me has 20+ years of experience), lacks the competence and communication skills needed to be a successful business owner and lacks honesty in his business dealings.
Banning and bullying by moderators
I pasted a copied sentence from an article about mental health to a posted article about a former politician stating they were depressed, and I was banned as hate speech for a statistically proven fact that was not directly aimed at anyone. This has been a repeat issue. Especially when it comes to political content. I am not a republican, but I do lean conservative. I don't share fake information, nor do I make personal attacks. I have been repeatedly banned, censored, and shadow banned so my friends and family cannot or do not see my feed unless I direct them to it.
Arbitrary and capricious community standards
Arbitrary and capricious community standards
Banned from Facebook for violating their ephemeral community standards. These quote "standards" are opaque and therefore meaningless!
There is no references to specific documents which clearly defined what the community standards are their context and their application. I is not possible not to violate these so called standards since they are not specifically defined.
Monitoring
I'm being stalked by facebook folks for far less things that are being said posted/written on facebook!
White folks comments don't get flagged at all, especially the "n" word!
My comment about "these negros being sent back home to their island for not wanting to wear masks", at the airport, got me... First a 3 day block now a 30 day block? Seriously facebook?
I'm a 13 generation black slave child, negros is not a racist name... [censored] and [censored], which you allow that everyday on facebook!
Now, it is time for the media know how racist your organization is by letting people get on your platform saying... [censored], [censored]s.. All day long, and some one saying negro, is racist!
Yes, it is time.
😐
Suspended
This is on OAN News' Facebook page. It is obviously photoshopped, putting Trump in front of a fake crowd, therefore it is FAKE. I posted 'Sieg Heil' in reference to Trump/Hitler's salute, and Facebook suspended ME, though they did nothing about the fake news. I tried to argue the point, but cannot because there is no way to post, being suspended. I tried to go through Facebook's process, and was denied within 5 seconds. Now I can not even post on their feedback/help page due to being suspended. Facebook is supporting FALSE information.
Violation of community standards
I posted a quote from history pertaining to "a thousand little cuts to loose your rights" and Facebook said I violated the community standards. If true how can people post things about killing our President, or threats about groups coming for our homes. This violation against me posting a quote from history is censorship if I ever saw it. A quote verses a threat. Really?
Posting comments
We are not allowed to exercise our right to free speech anymore, especially on Fakebook. I have seen plenty of awful things posted towards anything republican. But if you say anything about democraps and their hatefulness toward America you get banned. I for one will not stand for the so called peaceful protests anymore. Fakebook needs to be shut down because they are part of the problem with our country today.
I would like to know when I am restricted exactly what post caused the issue. Maybe the all knowing fact checkers have an answer to this and why one time something is restrictedf and another time not, especially since it was reposted from another fb post! Who is fb to say what is truth especially regarding covid when no one knows what is true and what isn't. Just asking the all perfect fb team. I think it is very unfair of you to restrict and not show one why you have done so unless you just want your point of view and no other.
They're doing the same thing to me. My sense of humor is always violating something. If you're on a PC (not sure how it works on a cellphone), go to SETTINGS & PRIVACY; SETTINGS and then BLOCKING. Type FACT CHECKER into the box for blocking. A list of names should come up. Block them all. Keep checking often. A friend turned me on to this less than 2 weeks ago and I've already blocked 32 'fact checkers'. Good luck.
Got a 30 day ban for posting scientific research on masks... This is ridiculous..I see horrible stuff on fb everyday but they ban me for science.. Nice!
I got a 90day restriction and they didn't even bother to tell me why or what the issue was.
Blocking my facebook account
I am a cancer survivor and receiving chemo once again. The procedure seems to have effected my short term memory. Upon a three hour session I came home to find my account was blocked. I do not understand why you would block my account. If memory serves I did try and change my PW but seems it a bit over the top that you would block my account. Because of cancer I am on a very low income and cannot afford any other outside entertainment. Would be very kind and professional to reinstate my account, In this time of separation I cannot contact my family or friends. Please help me as I am very tired and weary and your site is my only entertainment. Thank you
Please restore my account that has been blocked. I am a cancer survivor and the chemo has effected my memory. Would appreciate my account being restored so I may have access to family and companies needed in my daily life
False advertising
Several false advertising ads constantly appear on my Facebook page. I question if Facebook actually screens all ads before approving them. Facebook is basically profiting off of false and misleading advertisements. The evidence is very clear. Why no class action lawsuit against Facebook for being part of all the false advertising they profit from?
Well they certainly don't scrutinize paying subjects for false info but rather like to restrict us or jail us if they disagree with a post and then don't have the decency to list the said post and the reason.
We need to find an attorney that is conservative
Watch page/group
Video clip freezes, turns green, won't play. Happens ALL the time, , getting PISSED OFF! Sometimes the clip will play, then the next one won't. Sometimes, my screen goes blank white for a second, then the page comes back, with the clip frame all green. Sometimes, with the green clip window, I can scroll the time bar and SEE clip segments, other times not. This DOES NOT HAPPEN when I watch YouTube, NETFLICKS, and other video content. FIX THIS!
Jail
Facebook.com is just crazy with its putting people in jail. No reasons just blocking accounts. We need a class action lawsuit. Does anyone know a hungry attorney. FB doesn't honor subpoena's signed by judge's. How do we find a civil rights attorney? Why isn't DOJ handling this? 350 characters! Are there attorneys that help with such issues! We need to STAND FOR THE 1st Amendment
Girl don't let Facebook control you. If I go to jail it will be for a crime "I" committed not one Facebook commits me too, My page was restricted for a comment I posted but nothing in my post violated any crime of bad language, treats or anything just restricted without reason. Facebook not gonna control my freedom of speech, I permanently deleted my page.
i am doing the same thing deleting my facebook accounts
YES PLEASE ! there has to be an attorney that can help stop fakebook bullying and randomly blocking posts that are already all over fakebooks pages ! they refuse to post a REAL customer service phone number and the email and support pages are worthless ! they just IGNORE them ! they have been blocking my posts to family and friends pages when I sent condolences for a death ! :( ! SOMEONE at facebook has their panties in a twist and is trying to promote the 'communist agenda' of controling FREE SPEECH !
Freedom of speech
I posted (see attached photo) of Hitler acknowledging his support for gun control. There appears to be a Facebook employee monitoring my post and waiting for any excuse to punish me for not agreeing with there politics.
The image in no way singled out or espouse hate toward any any individual or group. My politics and belief in our second amendment rights should never be controls by the individual on facebook who dis agrees with me.
Regarding the meaning behind my post: Hitler used gun control to remove power from those who apposed him. After gaining physical control over the German people he executed more than 6 million innocent beings.
Look to Portland, Seattle, New York. For the real thugs. Democrats are methodically destroying our country. Freedom of speech is being destroyed by all the progressive liberal Democrat run social web sights. I have found a social web sight that does not try to control my 1st Amendment rights. TRY PARLER TO VOICE YOUR OPINION WITHOUT SOME LITTLE BASEMENT DEMOCRAT PUNK CONTROLLING YOU FREEDOM OF SPEACH!
Facebook suspended me because I posted a picture regarding Hitler support of gun control.
Fakebook has banned me 4 times now, currently serving a 30 day sentence. I said rioters should be shot and it's time to purge arm yourselves. Is that wrong? With what's going on in this country today just let me tell you that the liberals and their control over social media will eventually start a civil war. Wait and see.
MZ has sold his soul to the current ReThuglicans in power and is willing to go to any extreme to support that. I had similar issue happen, I instead did not challenge their removal of my post and instead just accepted it...I need to use that particular social media to keep the Putinbots at work by posting my DT reality check posts...sigh.

I was very disappointed with the lazy and irresponsible service provided from the MCO until yesterday. As a resident Malaysia I would say that I following the rules of my coutry during this period～social distance～ to protect my family. Wearing mask and maintain social distancing with others. But the induty sender（without wearing mask） insisted that I must collecting my parcel from his vehicle. He throw out my parcel beside the road or just sending me the notification when disobeyed that order.
Hereby，I hope the action will be taken by the relevant authority. Thanks for your cooperation.
Notice received when refused obedience to the instructions.
Hi BootStrapGal!
Facebook has the right to alter the user agreement without notice at any point. You consented to this when you agreed to the contract in 2011.
I hope this clears things up!
Hi BootStrapGal!
I am a real person, not a bot.
I hope this clears things up!
If that is true, than I challenge you to produce the evidence that I was engaging in any sort of "scamming activity". I can tell you right now that you cannot produce that. Have scruples enough to admit that Facebook was WRONG & their punitive action against me is out of line. Got any courage there, Quannell? Or are you a 'yes man'?
This whole mess goes away the moment I get an apology; even a private one will do; & my account is reinstated. Even though big, bad Facebook may view me as a miniscule problem, I am a bulldog by nature & I'll NOT stop until those two actions happen.
Hi BootStrapGal
As I'm sure you understand, links to crypto companies and "free" giveaways are common activities by scammers.
PS, My pronouns are they/them and I identify as female. I am not a man!
I posted NO links to any crypto company. Did you not read my original complaint thoroughly? And in the discussion you seem to be referencing, I DID NOT even name any company. Plus, in the original posting, as well as later in the comments, I stated at least TWICE that I believed it was ME who was scammed. And for your further information, the ONLY participants in that discussion were myself & 2 of my own family. Are you asserting that by recounting an occurrence in my personal financial history with family & friends, I am attempting to commit an illegal act? That is a ridiculous assumption! As for the free giveaway, are you also asserting that giving away a compact clothes dryer which I was replacing with a newer one to someone in my local community is somehow criminal as well? Because that is also ridiculous. I can produce the name of the young man who happily took the dryer. And finally, I AM the creator, owner & admin of my area's first & one of the most popular local free & barter groups, which has existed since 2012. So, I can host & maintain such a group, which is very charitable to our community, but giving away free items, just as I've always done is somehow criminal behavior? For your information, I also gave away a pickup topper just a few days after the dryer was rehomed. Explain to me & every other logical person reading this (yes they are reading this) how any of what I've just recounted amounts to "scamming activity"? Becauseal again, Facebook has ZILTCH evidence to prove their claim. I'd even dare you to post that crypto discussion publicly. The utter absurdity of Facebook's actions will be clear in the light of truth! And I don't care how you identify. Makes no difference to me in this matter. I've kept my discussion civil & THAT is what matters.
Hi BootStrapGal!
Banned accounts cannot be admins of groups on Facebook, so you cannot be the admin of this group that you're describing.
Obviously I can't any longer. But you check the history of who created & built that group & you'll find it is ME. As I've stated before, I have a very recent copy of all of my Facebook data in my possession which proves exactly that. And Facebook's actions have not only harmed me & my perdonal reputation; those actions are also harmful to that group which has proven to be an asset to the local community. Several of the local community organizations advertise their charitable services there. And I have built & maintained it with strong ideals of helping our people & treating everyone fairly. Now that I'm not allowed to maintain the group with such standards & mission, what do you think the damage to that group will be? Facebook, in their high-handed activities, is HARMING the very people they should be helping! This is not just about me. Shame on Facebook!
Which brings up another issue of legality. That group was MY conception, MY creation & has existed to the benefit of it's membership ONLY due to MY diligence. By banning me, especially in light of lack of evidence of any wrongdoing (still not producing it because it doesn't exist), Facebook is unlawfully taking MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Despite the face that it exists on Facebooks platform, I have NEVER given up ownership of that intellectual property to anyone. As long as I can prove that I created & maintained that group, Facebook is in serious legal jeapordy.
Just in case anyone at Facebook would decide to find a punitive excuse to eliminate that group, I'd advise against it. I do have people watching this situation & further harming that group will be be immediately brought to my attention, as well as the evidence of such harm. It should be clear by now that, despite my civil demeanor, I'm not backing off of this injustice.
Hi BootStrapGal!
Please review the terms of service that you agreed to when you created a Facebook account. You agreed that Facebook would own any posts and content placed on the website. This group will soon have a new admin, I expect.
I hope this clears things up!
No. It's not cleared up & it will not be until that evidence of wrongdoing is produced or I am exaunerated. And Facebook's lawyers made the same claim about user data mishandled. How'd that work out?
By the way, would that be the TOS I signed on with in 2011 or the endlessly altered since TOS which exists today? Facebook habitually ignores any 'grandfathering' while their algorithms are digging through ancient history postings to issue warnings about fake news & alleged violations of community standards. Therefore, Facebook doesn't get a pass on ignoring their own rewrites.
Hi BootStrapGal
I have read your post about your Facebook account status. After reviewing the information that you have provided, it appears that you have been permanently prohibited from using Facebook services because of scamming activity. This type of ban cannot be disputed and is permanent.
I hope this helps!
What Is Slander?
Slander occurs when someone speaks false and damaging statements about another person. Public officials and public figures often bring slander cases.
How Do I Prove Slander?
In a slander lawsuit, you have to prove the following:
Someone made a false, defamatory statement about you knowing it was a false statement
The statement does not fall in any privileged category
The person who published it acted negligently when they published the statement
You were harmed by the statement
************************************************************************************************
You just qualified those conditions here. You have my full, private contact information provided via this forum as well as through Facebook, which you could have used to privately discuss this with me. Yet you assert here, on a public forum that I was engaging in allegedly illegal activity. Good luck proving that.
Did you just reply with a "canned" response? In light of this behavior, it seems that you may not even be a real person. Rather, your reply is typical of a bot. Be sure that I will include this with my other evidence of Facebook's wrong-doing.
