Facebook users, be taken by surprise by the seemingly unblocked blocking of accounts

The message “Your Facebook account has been deactivated because it did not meet our community standards. This decision cannot be overturned “appeared for possibly millions of users of the social networking platform. Apparently, the problems are related to the introduction of certain automated technologies, which should have increased the security of the social platform.

According to a first official explanation, provided by Meta’s PR director, Andy Stone: “We are aware that some users have problems accessing their Facebook accounts and we strive to resolve them as soon as possible.”

The message, which does not give an exact figure on the number of affected users, leaves a lot of interpretations and frustration for users who have been active on the platform for a long time and who have never given reasons to be targeted by Facebook moderators. Probably, many of them are wondering if they will definitely lose pictures and memories gathered in the last 15 years, realizing that using an online platform as the only replacement for classic photo albums may not have been the case. the best idea. Even more frustrating is the realization that warnings have been around for some time, but have simply been ignored.

Announced under a pompous name – Facebook Protect, the initiative by which the administrators of the social platform tried to persuade potential users targeted by cyber attacks to preventively secure their accounts does not seem to bring the expected result, most simply ignoring the suggestions received. The main request was to activate the two-step authentication mechanism, respectively to check certain settings that can significantly reduce the chances of compromising the Facebook account.

In addition to the notifications displayed in the mobile application, Facebook has also resorted to emails intended to attract the attention of those users who may not often enter the platform. Whether they are confused with SPAM messages or snares to facilitate computer attacks, ignoring those messages now seems to attract a preventative Facebook account. Those who have already encountered these messages should return to them, with a high chance that the vehement requests received from Facebook will be legitimate.

However, in the absence of any official information, it is too early to say whether the seemingly unreasonable deactivation of certain Facebook accounts was due to ignoring requests for essential security measures, or malfunctions of automated systems. security, constantly adjusted and improved by Facebook administrators.
