Their safeguards are all over the place. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

I once tried to create a new account with my real name in order to maintain Facebook Business Manager without using my private account. The new account was immediately locked until I added a phone number. I added my business number, which was immediately rejected. I added my personal number which immediately resulted in my private account being locked instead.

So I gave up and don’t use Facebook for my business.

I have an alternate profile that’s also under my real name which is 10+ years old, previously used to keep a distinction between friends and family, and it works just fine.

I have no idea… the accounts are obviously dupes… my mom is very active and they are not… I still get messages back from Facebook saying they’ve investigated and decided they are legit accounts.

(I have the same experience with my dupes, except I’m not active, though I am more active than my dupes)

Facebooks AI policing of content is a failure. when I report totally unhinged blatant Nazi content, the response a few days later is always "we didn't find a violation, we realize this is disappointing."
