The moment the ownership got changed, page got unpublished…!!
This would terribly affect the business of @SWAPD too…!! Facebook is sick
EDITED BY STAFF:
It seems this is confirmed. However, it doesn’t seem like it’s linked to transferring ownership. It’s a coordinated purge by Facebook.
From Facebook:
Today we removed 2,632 Pages, Groups and accounts that engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior on Facebook and Instagram. The operations we found were connected to Iran, Russia, Macedonia and Kosovo. We didn’t find any links between these sets of activities, but they used similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing.
This is what I predicted some months ago… Facebook Profiles are being flagged internally for different reasons, and if the same profile changes and removes admins on different pages then it’s flagged as suspicious and for selling and buying Facebook properties…
Changed the topic title to something more calm. “Big Blow Purge” doesn’t fit 3-4 unpublished pages. Until we get more reports, let’s keep calm. I, however, can confirm that during a transfer last night a page was lost. I suspect that admin accounts are now being tracked and if an admin is considered bad, the page he gets moved to gets instantly banned.
Other odd things we’ve noticed in the past days:
Some fanpages can’t have it’s content shared on other pages.
Unable to add certain admins, even with publishing authorization turned on.
We’re probably looking at some changes, but let’s wait for more users to confirm.
This also may be the result of this.
We were warned by Facebook at the end of January that in the upcoming weeks they will roll out the Page Quality score/tab and more deletions are bound to happen. Perhaps they’ve finally rolled it out globally and started cleaning house again.
I seriously doubt they care about stopping buyer/sellers themselves. If I had to bet, they’re after artificial/inorganic (they’ve even said so themselves) methods of gaining traffic/exposure (they want ad money), and the quality of the content.
You all have to admit that 1/2 of the people within our industry don’t give a rats ass and:
After reading the comments here, I’m pretty sure that it’s not something we should worry about. might be couple of bugs. I think that if you buy a page here, you should let the staff member to keep his role as an admin for a few days and then remove him
I also bought and sold 10+ pages this week and everything was fine
It is true that Facebook is removing pages today. Pages are removed or unpublished from last two days if old admin accounts were removed after transfer ownership of page.
One of my friend lost 4 of his pages, he said he just changed the admin of the pages. Many other people also lost their pages, but they didn’t change the ownership of the page, so not sure what exactly it is. But may be we should avoid buying selling fb pages for a few days😛
Today we removed 513 Pages, Groups and accounts for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior as part of multiple networks tied to Iran. They operated inEgypt,India, Indonesia, Israel,Italy, Kazakhstan or broadly across the Middle East and North Africa.

After reviewing the tickets with failed transfers, we can confirm that this is true. All troublesome tickets happened with users from mentioned parts of the world.
