Find Out What Happens When You Get Banned From Facebook

Getting banned from Facebook can mean missing out on updates from friends and losing the memories you haven’t backed up elsewhere. If you use the platform for business, it could also mean costly downtime. What happens to your profile, posts, friends, and comments? Whether you were banned for no reason or just got banned from Facebook for the first time, this guide will help you understand what happens when you get banned from Facebook and how to get unbanned.

What Happens When You Get Banned From Facebook?

If you are banned from Facebook, your attempts to log in will fail and instead result in the ban notification. Without access to your profile, you can’t do the standard Facebook activities, like posting, commenting, or liking posts.

You are also locked out of your business page and can’t continue with business unless you have a co-admin who can update the page for you. Messages sent to other Facebook users are not removed.

How To Get Banned From Facebook Forever

Facebook cites repeated violations as the cause of its permanent bans—but several activities are listed as severe and can prompt an immediate account ban. This means you may have your account suspended a few times or have your non-compliant posts flagged or taken down before you get banned from Facebook forever.

Here are some of the severe violations that can result in a permanent ban from Facebook:

  • Posting content that promotes violence and incitement
  • Associating with violent groups or organizations
  • Trading regulated goods, such as guns and non-medical drugs, on the platform
  • Posting information that can undermine the security of other Facebook users
  • Posting fake news that can pose a threat to personal or public health
  • Using Facebook’s tools and data to engage in activities that violate its policies
  • Publishing content that sexually exploits minors and adults
  • Bullying and threatening other users
  • Displaying nudity
  • Abusing intellectual property
  • Having a spam-like account or posts

How To Get Someone Banned From Facebook

  1. Visit the profile you want to report
  2. Tap on the More option and choose Find support or report profile
  3. Select the option that best explains how the user violates the Facebook Community Standards
  4. Click Next and provide a report (if required)
  5. Tap Done

Facebook uses its Community Standards as a guide to judge the account, but there is no guarantee that users will be banned.

If you wish to report a specific post instead, here is what you need to do:

  1. Go to the post you wish to report
  2. Use the Find support or report option to submit your complaint

  1. Open your Facebook app
  2. Navigate to your Facebook page
  3. Go to Visitor posts
  4. Click on the three dots in the top right of the post by the user you intend to ban
  5. Select Ban From Page, then OK

  6. Click Ban next to the user you intend to ban
  7. Tap OK

How To Get Unbanned From Facebook

When a user is banned from Facebook, they get an automated email alert about the ban. Depending on the violation, you may receive a warning alert or be banned temporarily (for a few hours up to 30 days) or permanently for repeated violations. Usually, the notification message is vague, stating violation of Facebook’s Community Standards.

If you feel that your account was wrongfully suspended, you may request a review using these steps:

  1. Open the review form in the Help Center
  2. Enter your email address and name
  3. Upload a photo of your ID
  4. Click Send

The support team will receive your request for review, and you will hopefully get unbanned from Facebook. An account banned for severe violations cannot be restored. For temporary bans or suspensions, you need to wait for the specified time to expire and avoid repeating the same violations.
