I’m ex Facebook software engineer (even had selfie with Zuckerberg as the avatar picture) who got banned on Facebook. Up to this day I have no clue what for. But it’s extremely annoying because I lost lots of photos that I didn’t back up and close to thousand contracts of people. Users should definitely own this data, not a corporation.

The irony here is that I deleted my FB years ago and back then at least, FB only permitted deleting one photo at a time. Took me well over an hour to delete all of my photos.

In hindsight, I should've just done something obviously ban-able instead.

There’s no guarantee that either method results in your photos being actually deleted.

I'm aware of that, I just wanted them removed from the public view.

Has the deleting single photo thing resolved by now? I too remember deleting close to 100s of photos one by one.

Iirc it is, at least if you live in Europe

Maybe you got banned because you had a selfie with zuck as the profile picture.

Some automated system trying to prevent celebrity impersonation might have flagged you.

Someone maybe disliked you in your old team

Surely you had enough contacts at Facebook to get somebody to look into it for you? Just another concern with tying the Oculus Quest to a Meta account. Google accidentally banned one of their own developers and he almost pulled Terraria off of their Stadia platform.
