Be aware if you have more than one account, one of my two has been frozen pending investigation. This may have happened when I changed a phone number which may have been used on the other account, or they may have seen my post about how much money they make from scam adverts! It is not permissible to have more than one account, and you now have to prove who you are with a photo or video, and a driving licence.
My Facebook account has been frozen.

I have now lost my account which was created to join a group which I moderated, and to have a page to help with IT. 'Facebook (Meta) has a strict "authentic name" policy and actively removes, suspends, or deletes accounts that are reported or detected to be using fake names, aliases, or non-representative names.' They delete billions of account per year. If you have anything on Facebook that you do not want to lose, download your account. They give no reason for deleting your account.

I was having a hard time because I had a few accounts and couldn't always login. I got frustrated and went off on them. They banned me for life. That was a few years ago and actually it's the best thing that ever happened.

Facebook is the cold sore on the lip of the Internet! It's paranoia knows no similars elsewhere on the Net! It's a hyper-complicated mass of over-featured, busy-bodying, gross insecurity! Several years ago, millions were leaving Facebook - far more than they were already victimising by expulsion, themselves, because privacy on Facebook is an illusion and their demands for facial recognition videos just went...too far. (Sad, too, because I'd enjoyed a lot of my time on Facebook in the earlier years, before the security disease ruined it.)
Facebook is now just a rusty old supergiant warship with a plethora of rarely used bells and whistles and an unrealised fantasy of, one day, swallowing the entire Internet. It's actually heart-warming to read of how many millions of people are deserting Facebook, in favour of enjoying their time on the Net! Anything from the Meta group/corporation (remembering Instagram, also) should be viewed with great suspicion and users should never assume that they have really arrived home, anywhere if it's owned by Meta!
You're being watched, and they will get around to you!
Who would've believed that their name of "Facebook" wasn't just a really silly name, but a prediction of the nature of their ambition and their demise - the demand for an immense database of faces of private people?
Once they began demanding facial recognition video or picture-ID from me, I explained to them the exact whereabouts they should target when they put their precious Facebook away somewhere dark and secret...repeatedly, and soon!
I then left there, feeling showered, changed and refreshed!
Why do so many people let Facebook ride roughshod over them for so long before voting with their feet and leaving there? I remember the early years of Facebook and it's sad, what it's become!

Here is a micky-take of Facebook by the British TV comedy show 'The IT Crowd': Friendface | The IT Crowd
Not sure FB is riding roughshod over me - but I don't plan on voting with my feet or leaving there - I enjoy following some pages and some groups I am in and seeing photos and updates from friends and family and messages from clubs I am in. Like everything - use what yo u want of it and ignore the rest.
Or don't use it at all if you don't want to, that's fine. But that's why I do.-

So sorry you lost your account @Marconi
I had a Facebook account around 12 years ago, so I am pretty sure mine has been deleted.
Too many people contacting me that I did not know.
Before I decided to quit I turned all my infomation into gibberish. I never gave them personal information to start with.
If any ever asked me for an ID, picture, or any personal information, I would be done, period.

They did that with me. I basically told them to pound sand.
