Facebook Purge - October 2019 - Are pages getting deleted?

How long were you down for?

It was exactly for the 7 days they put in the notification. Reach also seems to be back to how it was. I had a couple of videos going viral and they went right back up when the limitation got lifted.

Did you post anything after restriction ?

and brand news…again looks like if you send appeal like i did 10+ days ago for page you profile get’s disabled too…mine got disabled yesterday “real profile” not fake one.

I contribute too with 2 pages (1,2M followers) getting wrong restrictions ( unable to merge or ad admins) at every few fours, plus zero reach , even if I didn’t try to add admin or merge page.

I was having a phone call with FB support, he fixed it instantly, and after 1 hour the restrictions were back. And now he tell me that he can’t fix it manually anymore.

Also one account disabled.

Well, that was all I got, all created from scratch by me.

I’ve heard that Metro shop needs cashier, so see you there!

■■■■ Facebook and ■■■■ Mark …

It almost sounds like they aren’t able to control their algo.

Well, anyone remember this ■■■■?

I’ve been getting all kinds of pages shut down. I manage around 800 Facebook child pages that are the local ones under our main brand page.

About 30 of them have been shut down. We’ve done some deep diving and can’t figure out exactly how we’re violating the page / jobs policy.

They link to this: Making Pages More Transparent and Accountable | Meta

Any help or ideas about how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated.

It’s getting worse out here, I have 5 pending verification requests and FB staff hasn’t replied from a week. Their dedicated team for the same responds back within 1 business day, but there has been no movement from them. Not sure what their staff is doing.

To recap, Facebook HQ has gone bat-■■■■-crazy.

Hello everyone,

I am new on SWAPD, and I want to tell you my story, regarding Facebook Purge.

It looks like this purge begin in september.

On exactly 29 september, al my 22 pages from my VERIFIED Business, has been unpublished. There were almost 9 millions fans.

This is the message that i received from them, after 2 weeks of discussions on Facebook Chat: “Your Pages have been unpublished for causing people to like or engage with it unintentionally in a misleading way.”

After asking for clarification, they told me that this is not the reason for unpublishing my pages, the real reson was SPAM ( clickbait and misleading), but this answer was made by a Facebook Chat Representant. On my pages I had only unique articles, INSTANT ARTICLES, written by 9 diffrent authors from all over the world.

Anyway, building a community with 9 millions of fans was the result of 6 years of hard work, and spending ofer 50.000 us dollars on Brand growing on Facebook, not for buying traffic. And after all these years, what Facebook does? They shut down all of my pages!!!

It is not fair after they took my money, but it seems that they don’t give a s-it.

I had a business media , around 20 employees which in this moment they will go home without nothing, because I had no money to pay them.

This is very sad, but this is the life we choose…

PS: After the appela, they call me, and let me notice that the pages will reamain unpublished, and they give me an advice - START building another pages and respect all the Private Policy of Facebook…

I almost have a heart attack when they told me this… Well Dear Facebook, after you take 50.000 us dollars from me, now you tell me to start again from the beginning?

This is my story, and I guess that Facebook has starting the BIGGEST Censorship ever! If you don’t have Verified Pages, all of you are in danger!

I have tried to verifiy the most Important page of all, who has 2 millions of fans, but in my country, Romania, they told me the Blue verified Badge it is not available…

Thank you all for reading my comment!

That’s freaking awful! Yeah I’m about done with the FB Page experiment myself. Too much of a hassle to be at their mercy like that. It’s crazy! I have an appeal ticket opened from the 12th still no response. Does anyone know the normal response time on the appeal tickets?

Thank you! There were the hardest 30 days of life… But I hope in the nearly future, i will regain at least the Biggest and Important page. What i didn’t mention, is that I have Registred Trademark for the name of the Page, and the business… But this matter doesn’t count for Faecbook Technical Team!

It will not respond to your appeal. I have made directly from page an appeal and there are 35 days from then and still no answer…

That the problem, i don’t undersant people and this companies that pay to build brand on platform that they don’t own. The biggest problem with them you have no any place to go to solve that problem, if you think it’s unfear you can only go to us and suite them last case i know took 2 years and there page was back after they won but it took 2 years.
What i suggest always remember in any new companies there algo can delete you and you have no place for help. Don’t understant why they remove pages cut the views or make other penalty funs for every rule break and if you have like 3 strikes… but they don’t care.

I think the main problems are

  1. There marketing team count that after they remove and cut traffic people spend more money on ads.
  2. People sit in one place and there no any alternative(In russia there many popular social networks like vk,ok,fb,ig,twitter…)

why is there no resource online regarding facebook purge. So far only swapd is talking about it. This should be news everywhere

Because we are top dogs!
