Generally it is because a LOT of people flagged posts. Did the OP post something that was taken down? Got a lot of heated comments?
Why? Do you have a right to Facebook? Did you pay for a subscription?
Pretty sure that if you’re subscribing to a commercial service, they more than likely retain the right to boot you for any reason they choose, and they really don’t have to explain it. It’s not like having a Facebook account is akin to having water service or the right to an attorney or something else that’s protected by law.
Your recourse would be to sue them and show that you didn’t violate their terms of service and let the lawyers fight that out. And really, you’d more than likely lose, because you can’t really show damages for not having your Facebook page, if it’s just a personal one.
Of course not. They don’t want to have to deal with the hundreds of millions of idiots and morons out there who don’t understand the difference between their phone, their website, and the network that connects them. Nor do they want to deal with all the other idiocy that the general public would swamp them with.
Stupid general public. Always ruining something for me.
Please tell me this is tongue-in-cheek.
I had to wait 10 minutes for my chickie nuggies. What are you going to do about it?
Ma’am, this isn’t McDonalds
I know but they have a restraining order against me.
Can’t do it. I don’t have a realistic expectation of achieving my goal (which is to demand and receive their explicit bullshit rationalization for their action), but I really and truly want to hold their metaphorical feet to the fire and make them spell it out in front of God and everybody.
I’m willing to stake the outcome on as many Hail Marys as it takes.
Factual answer: You can’t do it, and they have absolutely no reason not to ignore your demands.
“You can beat a dead horse….”, ya know?

We’re no longer in FQ.

Yes, they do. The reason is because I desire it. They may not consider that an overriding reason*, but it is a reason.
*They’re wrong if they don’t, btw. But what the hell, people are wrong about things every day.
Duh, for good reason. BTW, factual answers are not exactly prohibited here, I do believe.
I know, I was just funnin’ ya. 
I get that, I do…but when it is a legitamite mistake, it really sucks to lose a lot of things I can’t get back.
Little story. Once upon a time about ten years ago, I lost my first FB account. I know exactly what it was I “did wrong”, because back then, FB used to tell you what the offending content was. It was not anything a live person had reported but, instead, what the AI (at the time) had scanned and had a problem with.
It was a quote I had quoted from an episode of The Twilight Zone, the one with Talky Tina. Friends were talking about that one and I said "Yesss… such a good one. “I’m Talky Tina and I’m gonna kill youuuuuu”.
Yep, it banned me. Took away my account and said “verbal threats of death are not allowed”. It thought I was the one threatening it because of the “I’m going to kill you” part, but the AI failed to realize it was a quote.
Didn’t matter…I lost my account.
Now…what should I have done? Not quoted it? Should I have KNOWN that was going to happen? Should I have foreseen it? I don’t really know how I could have, so…sorry for thinking I was not in the wrong there. Now was FB in the wrong there? Well.. maybe.. maybe not, but I just feel there could have been better way of handling it. I lost a lot of RELATIVES as friends that could no longer add me back on a new account because they were now DEAD and could not “accept a friend request” on their end anymore. And a ton of notes, writings that I had thought great, and instant message exchanges I had had for ten years with people, some that I had kept and loved to reread sometimes…as if they were old pen pal letters. Nope… gone. All of it, including those deceased family members I could never add back again. And all because of a misunderstood quote.
Ahhh well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. At the time I was pretty pissed, but the only thing I could do at the time is “get over it”. I still haven’t,…fully—not sure I ever will—but at least I’ve had other accounts since that have been good.
Sorry for the off topic. I probably could have sent this via messaging, but I feel it’s still a bit on topic as some may be reading this and can relate as it still has to do with losing an account and not having the ability to talk to anyone to fix it when you know it probably WOULD be fixed/reversed if you could only get someone. Alas, it’s not ever gonna happen.
I am happy to test this by posting the believed to be offending language on Facebook. I will let you know the results.
Good luck! They certainly never contacted me about anything.
Cool. I wanna see what happens….
I have posted the language as a comment to 3 different posts, and will continue to do so for a week. If anything happens, I will let you know.
This is why I’m only part of communities that don’t have any standards.
I nearly lost my 15 year old blog and a couple of thousand posts when it was locked/flagged by google for “phishing and being a deceptive site”. This was ridiculous since I have only 5 real (human) subscribers and 100% of my posts are mundane and pointless to an extraordinary degree. None of my posts had ever had anything that could remotely be considered “phishing” or contained anything “deceptive” that would bother or offend anyone.
In my case I was able to contact support via the blogger community message board and have the flag lifted and the blog unlocked. The only explanation I got was “it was done by mistake”.
How long ago did this happen?
