Why is your Facebook Account Suspended?
The following reasons can explain why your Facebook account has been suspended. Keep these reasons in mind to secure your Facebook account at the first hand.
1. A Suspicious Login or Activity
As Facebook prioritizes cybersecurity, it will suspend your account if any uncertain or suspicious login or activity is found out through your Facebook account.
2. Unauthorized Access or Malware Infection
An unauthorized Facebook access, from a different location or through illegal websites, can cause slow downloads or malware infections. These actions can also occur due to spam posts, leading to Facebook Suspension.
PRO TIP: Check and clear the Spam section in your Facebook account.
3. Using a False Name or Impersonating Someone
If you have a Facebook account with a false name or if you are using an account in the name of someone else, i.e- if you are impersonating someone, your account will be suspended.
4. Using a Personal Account for Business Use or Promotions
Facebook does not allow you to use a personal account for professional promotions or benefits. So, it is advised to create business accounts separately. This can be a reason for your account suspension.
5. Violating the Rules and Regulations of the Site
Facebook has been keeping a strict eye on all the accounts, to avoid any online mishaps, like- child abuse, exploitation, online harassment, and more, taking care of all safety measures. So, any account found performing any illegal activities that go against the community guidelines of Facebook can be suspended in one go.
6. Unknown or Unidentified Location
If your account is not identified by Facebook or if your account is unknown to Facebook, there are chances that your account will be suspended.
7. Reported Account
Facebook’s users can report your account if you are violating any rules or not following Facebook terms and conditions under the Violence and criminal behavior laws of Facebook. This can lead to the suspension of your account, depending on the number of reports on your account.
8. Illegal Login
An illegal login, by any means, can cause Facebook suspension, easily. So, make sure you are logging in or creating your Facebook account, only through the official website.
9. Posting Offensive Content
If you are found posting inappropriate content on your Facebook account, that is violating the Facebook community standards of objectionable content, be ready to be suspended.
10. Using a Fake Identity
As you are not allowed to use a Facebook account in someone’s name, no matter if it is a celebrity or a person with millions of followers, your account will be suspended.
And if found by other Facebook users, your account can be reported, and suspended automatically, when it reaches a certain number of reports.
No matter what the reason is, you can easily regain access to your account in some hours or a day, if you religiously follow all the instructions, mentioned below.
