Why does Facebook just make it impossible to create new accounts now?

I deleted my Meta accounts about a month and a half ago. IG and FB. They weren't banned, or restricted, or anything. I just deleted them. Didn't need that stress in my life.

Yesterday I decided to start over again with new accounts. I was able to create an IG account just fine, but two different attempts to create new Facebook accounts were immediately shut down for "Account Integrity". One used the same email as my old Facebook account, and the second used my newer address. Did the photo and video selfies and filed the appeals, but both were rejected.

Today I tried a third time, attempting to create the FB using my IG/Meta account instead so they'd be linked. Rejected again.

Am I missing something, or does Meta just not want new users on Facebook? There doesn't seem to be any way around this.

Every Facebook account I make gets suspended within a week. Could my device or IP be flagged?

Hey everyone,

I know Facebook's moderation relies heavily on AI these days, but this has been driving me crazy.

So far, I've made around 11 Facebook accounts, and every single one has been suspended within a week for no apparent reason. Sometimes Facebook even claims the account is involved in something as serious as child exploitation, which makes absolutely no sense. I barely post anything, so I have no idea where these accusations are even coming from.

I've also tried appealing the suspensions. I've submitted selfies, photos of myself, and even my ID whenever Facebook asked for verification. But every single time, as soon as I finish submitting everything, I immediately receive an email saying the account didn't follow Facebook's policies and has been permanently suspended. I've repeated this process on multiple accounts, and the response is always exactly the same. At this point, I've pretty much given up on hoping an appeal will make any difference.

The only reason I keep making new accounts is because my college uses Facebook and Messenger for announcements and online classes. If it weren't for that, I honestly wouldn't even be using the platform anymore. At this point, I can only imagine how annoying it is for my classmates since I have to ask them to add me again every time I create a new account.

One thing I've noticed is that whenever an account gets suspended, Facebook says it's connected to another account that violated their policies. I've already tried creating accounts with different email addresses and phone numbers, but Facebook still somehow links them back to the previously suspended accounts.

That got me wondering if my device or IP address has been flagged. Is Facebook able to recognize my phone and automatically suspend any new account I log into?

I remember reading somewhere on Reddit that doing a factory reset might help because it changes some device identifiers, but I'm hesitant to try it. I'd have to back up everything on my phone, and I'm not even sure if it would fix the issue.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar? If so, what actually worked? I'd really appreciate any advice because I'm tired of creating new accounts only to have them suspended again.

Has anyone ever filed a lawsuit against Facebook for not removing fake / copy accounts?

Refusal to remove such accounts should be charged as aiding and abetting identity theft.

Under the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, that is a Federal felony crime.

Is anyone else getting constant AI reels? How can I stop or block these?

I used to scroll Facebook’s reels pretty consistently. Within the past week, literally ALL I get now is AI generated videos. Is there a way I can flag and stop getting AI videos? I looked through my settings and couldn’t find anything. :/

Locked out of messaging on Facebook messenger. All other functions work and it’s been 28 days. Please help

I have tried verification by turning my head, I’ve uploaded a verification selfie in Facebook. I’m still unable to access my messenger and it has been 28 days.
The reason for it happening was that I didn’t follow their authentication rules, which is false. I’ve tried all the meta help links, reqs. I cannot upload government id since the links they suggest don’t work. I’ve cleared all cache in apps, deleted, updated, redownloaded. I cannot move on, I need access for work. What else can I do??

Facebook 2FA recovery issue after account deletion, not receiving codes and selfie verification failed

I’m trying to cancel my account deletion, but I’m stuck on 2-factor authentication. The only option I get is to receive a code by SMS or WhatsApp, but I’m not receiving any codes. I also tried the selfie verification, but it didn’t work.
Has anyone found a way around this or managed to recover their account?

The algorithm detected "inappropriate" content and disabled my account

I apologize if there are any mistakes, but I'm Hispanic and I'm using a translator.

So, basically, this morning I woke up to messages from friends asking what had happened to my Facebook and Instagram accounts. When I checked, I realized that both had been disabled (they use the same mail).

Apparently, the algorithm detected content that endangered children’s well-being—in short, I was accused of sharing, posting, or messaging child-related content. I’ve always been against this type of content, and in fact, I’ve personally reported accounts that did share such material.

I can’t recover my account because my ID doesn’t match my account information (I was using a nickname), but apparently, I have these three options:

  1. Sign up for Meta Business from another account to file a report so that a real person can review my case.

  2. Contact the consumer protection agency in my country.

  3. File a lawsuit.

They all seem pretty complicated to me for something that could easily be solved with the help of a real person. I’m going to lose six years of memories because of some stupid AI.

We disabled your account. We reviewed your account and found that it still doesn't follow our Community Standards on account integrity.

Facebook is seriously fking trash when your account gets disabled like this. 99.9% of the time, your account is never coming back, even if you try buying a Meta subscription, it's completely useless.

My account still hasn't been restored. It's been disabled since Aug 27 because of account integrity. I tried buying a Meta subscription through a new account, but it got me absolutely nowhere, even after I talked to a Meta agent. I got a response on Sep 5, Their final response was still the same generic template that pretty much everyone already knows means the decision is final.

Then on Sep 6, I opened another case and now it's Oct 4, almost a month and I still haven't received a single response. They've just left my case open. Maybe they're doing it intentionally so I can't open another case.

Honestly, this is fking ridiculous. I wasted my money on a subscription just to deal with terrible customer service, and apparently NOT a single real human being is actually handling my case.

Returned to Facebook after many years away and it’s really a terrible app

I opened a business page to restart an old business I had and had to open a personal account first, fair enough, did that. I created the business one and it’s almost exactly the same as the personal page with the same shite sprawled over, reels, shit posts and brain wasting garbage. My old page was great, I could post up updates easily and it was strictly just a business page, now it’s no different from any other profile. Anyone got any suggestions to filter out the crap and stop the reels?

Facebook is just Israel propaganda and Animal abuse videos. It's impossible to hide enough pages that it ends.

This is all I see I log on it's just constant Israeli people talking about how great they are or complaining about Palestine and anti antisemitism or videos and pictures of animals being hurt is it possible to block certain terms?

Why Meta is not in congress talking about AI, can you guess why? I know why, read below

Meta wasn't invited to Congress to discuss the problems with AI. Why? Because their AI is the one whole problem. IT's a useless Nazi agent that bans people left and right. Complete trash. More than that, Meta haven't invented anything in a long run. Everything they own they bought for criminal russian money. They don't have any original technology or any original content posted by the company. Basically it's a bubble of shit that about to burst. They have 400 billion worth court cases against em. I hope they will just close soon, such a piece of garbage. I can't imagine this company made FANG they should be laying in a ditch long time ago.

Removed from marketplace due to being underage (again) Extra letters

I was removed from marketplace about a year and a half ago for being underage, I was actually underage so I just dealt with it and used my moms facebook to sell things as this is how I make a ton of income.

In July I turned 18, immediately uploaded my information and about 3 weeks later I got marketplace back, but I noticed Dating still always said I was too young (I don’t care it’s js an observation lol)

Now just a few days ago I was removed yet again for being underage, and now it seriously pisses me off as I am working towards getting my dealers license and i’m currently using marketplace to sell a ton of mowers and equipment to save up money.

I’ve tried uploading my ID numerous times, i’ve submitted two appeals which seem to fail too (i’ve never gotten any email or anything about them). Anyone have any advice? I really don’t want to make a new account, especially selling cars, a brand new account with barely any posts ruins credibility.

TIA

Zuck Suck Banned my FB Account for no reason, what the heck is this I am gonna

Meta's automated AI detection systems is shit. There should be a decentralized Social network where no zuck suck on other accounts.

I am a block chain developer, if there are people facing the same issues, let's build our own social network and then bring people there. I know it sounds crazy, but Facebook idea was crazy at the beginning

Meta accounts got locked, I can't login using everything. I don't know what to do, I have important conversations in my accounts.

My Facebook and Instagram account got locked, now I can't login because it says I need to login using devices I've used before. I tried logging in using devices I've used to login to those same accounts before but it says it doesn't recognize these devices I've used. I also tried using the face verification but it's not accepting that, I don't know why. I can't go through the passport route because the only ID I have is my postal ID.
