Why Facebook and BM Accounts Are Banned?
Frequent IP Changes & Device Switching
Facebook tracks your login activity closely to protect accounts from suspicious behavior. If your account logs in from different IP addresses or devices too often, Facebook might see this as a security risk.
Common Scenarios:
- Logging in from a VPN or proxy that frequently changes locations
- Switching between devicesโlike logging in on your phone from one country and your laptop from another
- Using public WiFi networks across different locations frequently
This can confuse Facebook's system and result in a temporary lock or even a ban.
Spammy and Suspicious Activities
Facebook looks for behaviors that seem unnatural or automated. Even legitimate accounts can get flagged if their activity is too rapid or excessive.
Flagged Behaviors:
- Sending too many friend requests in a short time
- Joining multiple groups rapidly
- Repeatedly posting the same content
- Accounts that only share links without personal interactions
Facebook's system values genuine engagement, so accounts with minimal human activityโlike no comments, likes, or original postsโare more likely to be flagged.
Breaking Facebook's Rules and Policies
Facebook bans accounts that break its Community Standards or Advertising Policies. Even small violations can trigger bans, as Facebook's system is quick to flag anything suspicious.
Common Violations:
- Sharing harmful content like hate speech or fake news
- Running ads with false claims or misleading content
- Using fake names or impersonating others
- Violating intellectual property rights
Common Risks for Business Manager (BM) Accounts
Facebook Business Manager (BM) accounts face specific risks that can lead to restrictions or bans:
Violation of Advertising Policies
Running ads with misleading content, prohibited products, or incomplete disclaimers can trigger a ban.
Account Linking Problems
If your BM is connected to a personal Facebook account or page that has previously been restricted, it could lead to your BM account being flagged or suspended.
Multiple Location Logins
Logging into the same BM account from different IP addresses or devices, especially across regions, can activate Facebook's fraud detection systems.
Administrator Issues
BM accounts rely on admins for operation. If an admin account is banned or flagged, the entire BM could be restricted. Having multiple admins can reduce this risk.
Lack of Activity
If a BM account remains inactive for extended periods, such as not running ads for months, Facebook may deactivate or flag it for potential misuse.
What to Do If Your Facebook Account Gets Banned?
Dealing with Temporary Locks
Temporary locks often occur due to security concerns, like unusual login attempts or suspicious activities. These are typically easier to resolve by verifying your identity.
Verification Steps:
- Confirm recent activity on your account
- Enter a code sent to your email or phone
- Identify friends in photos
Once your identity is verified, access should be restored within a few hours to a couple of days.
Recovering from Permanent Bans
Permanent bans usually result from violations of Facebook's Community Standards or severe breaches like running fraudulent ads or sharing harmful content.
Appeal Process:
- Submit an appeal through Facebook's Help Center
- Provide accurate personal information and supporting documents
- Write a clear explanation of why the ban was unjustified
- Include any relevant evidence
- Wait for Facebook's response (can take several days)
Important: While not all appeals succeed, providing detailed and honest information increases your chances of account recovery.
When BM or Ad Accounts Are Disabled
If your Business Manager or Ad Account is disabled, take immediate action:
Resolution Steps:
- Go to the Account Quality page and request a review
- Provide additional information such as ad campaign details or proof of compliance
- If managing multiple BM accounts, ensure the issue is isolated
- In severe cases, contact Facebook support directly
