Facebook restricted my profile for “inauthentic engagement” even though I never used fake engagement. How can I fix this?

Hi everyone, I need some advice.

On 19 August 2026, Facebook restricted my profile and suspended Recommendations and Monetisation.

The reason shown is “Inauthentic engagement.”

Facebook says its technology detected behaviour that might indicate inauthentic engagement. It also says that my profile will not be recommended to new people, I can't earn from my content, and the restriction is currently scheduled to end on 17 November 2026.

However, there is something confusing about this.

My profile was not actually monetized. I only had Facebook Stars available. I had not enabled/received normal content monetization earnings.

I have also never received a Community Guidelines violation or copyright strike on my posts. I have never intentionally used bots, fake likes, fake followers, paid engagement, or any service to artificially increase engagement.

Before this restriction, my dashboard showed around 17M views, 1.4M engagement and 1,961 net followers in the last 28 days.

Now Facebook is saying that monetisation and recommendations are suspended because of inauthentic engagement.

I have a Review button available.

Has anyone experienced this exact restriction?

What is the best way to get this fixed?

  1. Should I submit the review immediately?

  2. Can this restriction be removed before 17 November?

  3. Has anyone successfully recovered Recommendations after an “inauthentic engagement” restriction?

  4. Should I stop posting or change anything on my account while the review is pending?

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with this before.

Suraj Kumar Chand Becomes First Indian to Win FISU Squash Gold, Celebrates by Unapologetically Flaunting His Janeu 🇮🇳🔥

Meet Suraj Kumar Chand. He just scripted history by becoming the first-ever Indian to win a GOLD medal at the FISU World University Squash Championships in Mumbai.

In a thrilling men's singles final, Suraj displayed incredible mental toughness, battling through five intense games to defeat Hungary’s Benedek Takács 3-2 (5-11, 11-8, 11-5, 6-11, 11-4). This historic victory comes after he previously won a bronze medal at the Johannesburg edition of the tournament.

But it wasn't just his phenomenal gameplay that captured the nation's attention; it was his powerful post-match celebration.

After securing the historic win in front of the home crowd, Suraj took off his T-shirt in sheer joy and powerfully flexed, proudly flaunting his abs along with his sacred Janeu (the holy thread) resting across his chest.

In a modern sports world, this powerful visual was far more than just a regular celebration, it was a bold statement of cultural pride. While some online lobbies constantly attempt to mock or hate on specific communities, Suraj's gesture sent a massive message: You can hate all you want, but we will continue to wear our ancient identity and our Sanatan roots with absolute pride, on the biggest international stages, while continuing to win!

A massive salute to this champion for keeping our flag high and our culture alive! Sanatan hi Satya hai! 🇮🇳🔥

Why Was the Top Cop Who Busted an ISI Terror Plot in Punjab Immediately Transferred?

Meet IPS Gurpreet Singh Bhullar, the Police Commissioner of Amritsar. Just days ago, he announced a major breakthrough - the busting of two alleged Pakistan-backed t€rr0r modules operating in Punjab.

According to police, the suspects were linked to Pakistan's ISI, had travelled to Jantar Mantar in Delhi during the NEET protest period, were allegedly supplied with materials to make petrol b0mb$, and were also involved in reconnaissance of security installations and targeting police personnel.

Days after this big disclosure, the Punjab government has transferred him and appointed Harmanbir Singh Gill in his place.

The timing has sparked a massive political controversy. The BJP has questioned why an officer was removed immediately after exposing an ISI-backed security conspiracy.

The Punjab government has not linked the transfer to the security probe and has called it a routine administrative reshuffle.

But the question remains - why was the officer who busted the security-threat modules transferred right after the bust?

How Student Amarnath Pandey Saved the Jharkhand Movement from Cheap Political Drama

Meet Amarnath Pandey. He is the young Gen-Z student who just made national headlines for throwing black ink at AISA President Neha Bora.

For the last 15 days, students in Jharkhand had been protesting tirelessly, even going on hunger strikes. It was a genuine, focused fight strictly between the struggling youth and the state government.

But then, Neha Bora arrived.

According to Amarnath, instead of addressing the students' actual pain, her very first line on the mic was, "I am here now. Do whatever you can do, BJP goons." Just like that, a pure student movement was being forcefully hijacked and twisted into a political BJP vs. opposition narrative.

The students and parents present immediately saw through this script. They forced her to step down from the stage. Humiliated, she took to the road and started raising her usual "Azaadi" slogans. That is exactly when Amarnath decided he had seen enough, bought a bottle of ink, and made his move.

When reporters later questioned him, Amarnath made a massive statement. He made it absolutely clear that he is not from the RSS, is not paid by the BJP, and doesn't even have ₹5,000 in his bank account. He took action because he refused to watch supporters of controversial figures like Umar Khalid ruin their movement.

Because of one person's desperate need for political drama, 15 days of pure student hard work, sweat, and hunger were completely overshadowed.

India truly needs more aware and fearless youth like Amarnath Pandey who refuse to be used as disposable pawns and will not let their genuine struggles be hijacked for cheap political agendas! 🫡🔥

Jharkhand Students Throw Black Ink on AISA President Neha Bora and Chase Her Off Stage for Hijacking Protest with "Azaadi" Slogans

Meet Neha Bora. She is the AISA President who recently traveled to Jharkhand, hoping to hijack the ongoing student protests.

At first, she got on stage and said a couple of good things in support of the students. But within minutes, the real agenda came out. She completely hijacked the platform, started her political drama, brought up the Delhi CJP protests, and began lecturing the crowd with "Azaadi" slogans and political rhetoric.

The students of Jharkhand were having absolutely none of it.

The moment she started crossing the line and politicizing their movement, a man stepped up and threw black ink right across her face. Following the massive humiliation, she got into a fight with local journalists and, true to her usual script, immediately blamed the RSS and BJP for the incident.

But the students didn't stop there. Realizing her desperate attempt to ruin their genuine struggle, they chased her off the stage, forcefully removed her, and strictly warned her never to return. They made it absolutely clear to everyone present: there is zero room for politics, ethnicity, or "Azaadi" propaganda in their fight for justice.

This is exactly why the CJP team and other political opportunists are terrified to step foot in Jharkhand. The students there are highly aware and know exactly who comes to genuinely support them and who comes just to run a cheap political agenda.

A massive salute to the nationalist students of Jharkhand for showing what the real Gen Z looks like. They absolutely refused to let their genuine fight be ruined by a political opportunist looking for cheap clout! 🫡🔥

Yet, under system policies, he gets labeled as privileged.

Instant Karma: Landlord Evicts Tenant Neeshu After She Distributed Samosas to Mock PM Modi's "Terwi" at recent CJP Protest

Meet Neeshu. During the recent CJP protests, she had absolutely no hesitation in publicly abusing and mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

She even went as far as distributing samosas while claiming they were for Modi's terwi (13th day death ritual), mocking him in an extremely distasteful manner.

However, her 15 minutes of fame came with some immediate and severe real-world consequences.

Neeshu and her family had been living in a rented house. Once her landlord found out about her shocking conduct and saw the videos, they did not hesitate.

Taking instant action, the house owner strictly ordered Neeshu and her family to pack their bags, vacate the property, and empty the house right away.

A harsh reality check proving that what you say and do for attention on camera can have instant and serious consequences in real life.

So glad to see that she is finally being held accountable for her actions! 🙏

Facebook keeps saying my account was hacked every day even though there are no suspicious logins

For the last 4–5 days, Facebook has repeatedly locked my account, saying "We think your account was hacked." It forces me to change my password, then unlocks the account, but after a few hours or the next day, it happens again.

I've already changed my password several times, checked login activity, and there are no unknown devices or suspicious logins. I only use one phone, and I'm also a Meta Verified subscriber.

I also tried contacting Meta Support multiple times, but I was only able to chat with the Meta AI assistant. It kept giving me the same generic responses and repeatedly said it could not connect me to a live support agent because of this security issue.

Has anyone else experienced this? Was it a false security flag or did you find a permanent fix? Any advice would be appreciated.

What is the best MBA Dual Specialization (with Finance) and side skills for a CA Inter student (21M) doing a local MBA as a backup?

my qualifications: 12th Commerce (Without Maths), B.Com (2022-2025) with 70%, Currently in CA Inter.

Hey everyone,

I am 21 (turning 22 this August). I had Commerce without Maths in my 11th-12th, and I recently completed my B.Com (batch 2022-2025) scoring 70%. I am currently in CA Inter. Since CA exams can be highly unpredictable, I want to keep a strong backup plan ready just in case.

I am planning to enroll in a regular MBA from a local college with a Dual Specialization. I am opting for a local college because I need time for my CA Inter classes, and frankly, my financial situation is a bit tight right now, so I don't have the budget for a top-tier B-school.

My primary specialization is fixed: Finance.

I have a few questions for the corporate/finance folks here:

Second Specialization: What goes best with Finance as a solid safety net? (Finance + Business Analytics? Finance + Marketing? Or something else?)

Skill Building: Keeping the current job market in mind, what specific skills should I learn on the side? I want to build a profile that guarantees me a good job even if my CA doesn't work out.

General Advice: Any other market realities or suggestions you can give me from your own experience?

Would really appreciate your honest suggestions!
