Facebook Jail has been making people nervous for a long time. If you are a regular user of social media, you must have come across this popular term ‘Facebook jail’. But do you know what this term really means and if it is something to worry about? We will find out in this article.
Facebook jail: what is it?
Facebook Jail is a term used to define a situation where Facebook suspends accounts or restricts certain activities for violating the Facebook Community Standards.
A person is said to be in FB Jail or Prison when they get their account, ability to post, or use certain features suspended for a specified period of time due to policy violations, suspicious behavior, or unknown login devices. As a result, Facebook temporarily locks your account to prevent you from engaging in suspicious activities.
Why Facebook jail? What can take you to virtual jail?
It was in September 2019, when Facebook announced that it was tightening its regulations and even announced some additional measures to remove hate and extremism from the social media platform. While it may be frustrating, Facebook is doing all of this to maintain security and privacy, and to promote the authenticity and dignity of all members of the Facebook community. That’s when the term ‘Facebook jail’ came up and caught on.
Now, the main concern is what things can land you in FB jail, and to avoid getting into such an unfortunate situation, it is important to know. Be sure to avoid the following activities on Facebook if you don’t want to get jailed:
- Do not engage in spam activities such as posting identical content too many times, unnecessary promotion of a product or service.
- Run a fake Facebook account
- Misrepresentation
- Promote hate, racism, inequality and other similar things.
- Threaten someone
- spread misinformation
- Being reported by someone for abusive behavior can land you in Facebook jail
Other than this, anything you think does not fall within the scope of Facebook’s policies can get you jailed.
How do you know if you are in Facebook jail?
Normally, Facebook does not send you an email or send you a notification about the restrictions they have placed on your account. You only find out when you try to perform the restricted activity, such as posting, liking, commenting, etc.; then you get a spam message similar to this:
“You can’t post right now”
So if you can’t:
- post to your timeline or pages or groups
- liking someone else’s posts or images.
- comment anywhere on the social platform.
- Access your page or account
Consider yourself in Facebook jail.
How long does a Facebook jail last?
If you are banned from posting, liking, sharing or commenting on Facebook, you may be waiting for the ban to end. The good thing is that Facebook Jail doesn’t last forever and the bad thing is that there is an exception.
Temporary block: Facebook temporarily blocks your account or restricts your activities ranging from a few hours to a few days. After the stipulated period is over, you will automatically gain access to your account as usual.
Permanent Ban – For the worst offenses, Facebook completely bans your account forever; that simply means it’s gone forever and cannot be recovered under any circumstances.
So, if you’re someone who can’t afford to lose access to your account, whether it’s a brand account or an individual account, make sure you don’t knowingly or unknowingly go against Facebook’s policies. Know this as it can cost you a lot in terms of losing access to your beloved Facebook profile forever.
Learn How to Get Out of Facebook Jail in 2021
It is said that ‘every cloud has a silver lining’; so even if you have been jailed on facebook, good things can still happen as there are ways to unban and get back on track on facebook.
There are only three ways to get out of Facebook jail:
- Face the ban – The first method says that you need to wait until the temporary ban ends. Facebook notifies you when the restriction will be removed, so wait for that period and get out of jail. Sometimes the ban is automatically removed after 24 hours.
- File an appeal: You can even file an appeal with Facebook if you think it was a mistake and you haven’t violated any rules. However, this option is not available to everyone, you can file an appeal if you get the option.
- Create New FB Account – For serious violations, Facebook removes or deletes the account forever and in that case, there is no chance to get your account back, so creating a new Facebook account is the only option left.
