Comment on How Do I Get Back Into Facebook?
Karlos_Cantana@sopuli.xyz 11 months agoI did the email verification, but then I have to also give them an id.
I tried making a new account. As soon as I verified my email (which was a different email than my old account), I got a notification that my account was suspended and I have 180 days to appeal.

They instantly suspended your brand new account? It sounds like there might be something else going on here, and I suspect that there’s more to this that you’re leaving out.

Making a new account from the same IP after failing a verification is textbook ban/scam evasion

I got the same trying to make an instagram login earlier this year, having never used insta before. I think Meta just has some overzealous automoderation of new accounts.

There is nothing more to it. My original account was never suspended. Like I said, I only use it to click on links to FB. I’ve never posted anything.
I used a DDG email for the new account. IDK if that has anything to do with it. I know some sites don’t accept that as an email. I got a welcome email a little afterward, and clicked the link. When I signed in, It also said I was suspended.
I am using a VPN. Maybe it’s because that IP address has been used for another account. I’m just guessing there, because it didn’t tell me why it was suspended. It just gave me a link to their TOS.

There were probably some clues in the TOS.
