In the digital social era, Facebook, as one of the world’s largest social networking platforms, carries hundreds of millions of users’ daily communication and information sharing. Facebook personal accounts can not only connect with others, but also serve as a springboard for managing and creating advertisements, pages and applications, making it an important bridge connecting personal social life and business activities. However, when a Facebook personal account is suddenly disabled, it not only means the loss of an important social tool, but may also have a significant impact on personal work.
My Facebook account is restricted but my ads are still running. What should I do?
1.Solution 1: Check whether BM has joined other personal accounts
· Check if there are other personal accounts added to our BM. If so, we can authorize these accounts to manage our advertising activities so that the continuous delivery of advertising will not be affected by a limited personal account.
· If there are no other personal accounts as backup, we need to consider quickly adding new administrators or creating new personal accounts and adding them to the business manager to keep the advertising activities uninterrupted.
2.Solution 2: Comprehensively check the account and content quality
Login IP check: Make sure that the IP address currently used to log in to the Facebook account has no record of other public pages being restricted or banned due to violations. If the IP address has a bad record, you may need to change the IP address to avoid further restrictions or bans on the account.
Account content quality review: Check the content in the account in detail, including posts, pictures, videos, etc., to ensure that they all comply with Facebook’s content policies. Remove or modify content that may violate the policy to avoid further restrictions on the account.
Personal homepage authenticity: Ensure that the information on the personal homepage is true and reliable, including profile information. Facebook may require the submission of ID information to verify the authenticity of the account. If the submitted profile information does not match the actual situation, the account may face permanent restrictions.
Post material compliance: Review all advertising posts and materials to ensure that they do not contain any elements that may violate Facebook’s advertising policies. This includes misleading content, prohibited product ads, and the use of inappropriate images or language.
Avoid account association risks: Check whether the account is bound to any banned domains or directly associated with banned accounts. If this is the case, you need to take steps to sever the association, such as changing the domain or unlinking the associated account, to avoid being automatically flagged by the Facebook system and taking restrictive measures.
02｜Reasons why FB personal accounts are deactivated or restricted
1.Use pseudonyms
When users express their opinions and activities under their real identities, the Facebook community will be safer and users will be more responsible for their actions. Therefore, Meta requires every user to comply with the following:
· Use a real and valid name in daily life and provide accurate personal information (such as real date of birth and gender).
· Only create one account for your own use and do not allow others to use your account.
2.Impersonate others
· All personal accounts must be created by users through Meta’s official channels. Personal account creation is free, and users should not obtain personal accounts through other channels (such as directly purchasing an account).
· Users should not use avatars that imitate someone (such as a celebrity artist) or other false identities, nor should they use infringing images.
3.Repeated behavior prohibited by Facebook platform
Meta attaches great importance to the commitment to users’ freedom of expression, but the risk of new information flooding the Internet is increasing. Meta limits the expression of users in the community based on the four values of authenticity, security, privacy, and dignity. What content is prohibited from being posted in Facebook community guidelines?
Integrity and authenticity: the integrity and authenticity of the relevant user’s own account (such as whether the personal account is used by the user and the personal information is true and valid), the content posted by the user contains spam or false information, and the user’s behavior involves network security or false behavior.
Violence and criminal behavior: The content posted by users includes violence and incitement to violence, dangerous people and organizations, cooperation in the implementation of harm and promotion of criminal behavior, control of goods and services, deception and fraud, etc.
Security-related: The content posted by users includes suicide and self-mutilation, child sexual exploitation or abuse and nudity, adult sexual exploitation, bullying and harassment, and invasion of privacy.
Unhealthy content: The content posted by users includes hate speech, violence and bloody content, adult nudity and sexual behavior or sexual seduction, etc.
Intellectual property related: Before sharing any content, users should ensure that they have the right to share the content and respect the copyright, trademark rights and other legal rights of others.
4.Behavior that Facebook does not allow
Any form of harassment in contacting others for harassment, advertising, or other behavior that Facebook does not allow will not be tolerated. In addition, if a user uses a personal account for excessive advertising or unauthorized contact, it may be considered spam and subject to corresponding restrictions.
In order to maintain a healthy and safe social network environment, Facebook takes strict management measures for violations of its policies. Therefore, reasonable use of Facebook, respect for platform rules and the rights of other users can effectively avoid the risk of account suspension or restriction. Keeping your account safe and active is essential to protecting personal information security and maintaining social connections.
