I’m in a fun boat where I got my Facebook account completely disabled last July 30 minutes after creating it (made to communicate with fellow interns for a job I just started). I didn’t provide a phone number, and I turned off/toned down every single tracking/anti-security preference they had. I then signed in on my phone’s browser (no way am I installing the app) and that flagged it for suspicious activity, which when I (admittedly very very stupidly) used the same picture as my profile pic for their request, disabled the account.

I have submitted for account recover 7 times by this point with a picture of my license to no success of hearing from the company. And I can’t request for them to delete my license from their servers because lo and behold, you need to sign in to do that!

The best part is that if I trying making a new account/signing in with the same email, it says I can’t do that because the address is associated with an account that is disabled. If I go to the recovery site to submit a request, they claim an account with that email doesn’t exist to be recovered.

At least my Messenger account is separate, but they still have my phone number.
