Reasons Why Facebook Accounts Are Disabled

You may not be aware, but Facebook has recently developed a new security system capable of detecting even the slightest suspicious activities on user accounts. Whenever any irregularity is detected, Facebook immediately sends warnings to users and requests account verification. However, the biggest limitation of this system is that it can sometimes mistakenly identify users as malicious and deactivate their accounts.

1. Common reasons for Facebook account deactivation

Why does Facebook lock accounts? There are several reasons why your Facebook account might get temporarily deactivated:

+ Facebook updates its database

Facebook regularly updates its database to filter and remove fake or duplicate accounts. Unfortunately, being included in this list can lead to temporary deactivation or even account locking.

+ Your account is reported

Someone may report your account as fake, prompting Facebook to lock it. However, only if there are a large number of reports will your account be locked and disabled.

+ Non-compliance with Facebook's rules
If you fail to adhere to Facebook's policies and rules, the social network will display warnings on your screen. If you continue to receive these warnings despite violating policies, Facebook will temporarily deactivate your account, or worse, lock it.

+ Suspicious activities
Another reason your Facebook account might get deactivated is if the platform detects suspicious activities and temporarily disables your account to protect it.

+ Adding too many friends on Facebook
The final reason for Facebook account deactivation is adding a large number of new friends on Facebook or sending friend requests in bulk. This is because the platform flags you as a robot or spammer, leading to account deactivation and locking.
