Facebook Purge - October 2019 - Are pages getting deleted?

I got the one-week message that says: Stories from your Page are not being shown in News Feed. This could be due to activities from your Page that don’t comply with Facebook’s policies. This limit is temporary and expires Monday, November 11, 2019 at 5:05 AM.

This message renews for another week at the end of each week. I usually get 1-2 days when the restriction is lifted, and I don’t post. Nevertheless, it comes back again in 2 days for another week. Facebook Ad Support is telling me nonsense and now they’re not responding. Appeal is unanswered.

Has anyone actually gotten their page reach back after this kind of episode?

They changing direction from pages to groups and profiles. There algo work to get most of paid ads from page if it didn’t give profit it useless.

Update: my appeal has apparently worked. The block on page reach was lifted and the red message doesn’t appear at the top of the page. I hope it’s not back again in 2 days or I’ll just lose it. I got a template answer from FB. No real reason. I was terribly persistent, but polite. This is the beginning of week 5. Crazy situation. I’ve been building the page for 3 years.

How do you add someone as an admin on unpublished page?

And now, just a short time later, the restriction and red message are back. This is even though Support told me they successfully forward the case to their supervisor and seemed to say the block would be removed now. So, I’m screwed.

I don’t know. What I said was that my friend was added back as an admin on an official Netflix TV show page (that wasn’t unpublished), which resulted in a different (personal owned) Page being republished.

Did your admin post anything that got flagged for copyright etc?

I have more information. It’s rather shocking. I spoke with a supervisor.

I was told to remove ALL nude images, including art works, paintings, sculpture. No nude anything can be posted to Facebook. If you haven’t noticed, the Community Standards have changed and I don’t see any exception for works of art.

I was then told not to disrespect religions. I’m not kidding. I need my page back, so I asked for more details. I was directed to a silly post a with a “This is Sparta” face superimposed on Buddha. I was told that this was disrespectful of religion and I must not do that. I asked whether I am allowed to criticize religions. Basically, no.

Welcome to ChristBook. Nothing edgy. Nothing remotely referring to sex. Welcome to 1955.

RIP every meme page, ever.

I think rules are only applied to “bigger” pages. Once I hit 50k or something, I was forced to provide more ID, if I remember, and add a mobile phone for SMS verification.

The whole chat was unreal. Like, are you serious? Yup. Serious.

That is correct. I can tell from the name. Does this mean the information isn’t true? It was a supervisor for Advertiser Support.

Do we know the compliance review isn’t also done in India?

Got 3 pages back, appealed on others last night, lets see.

Nice. A few people got their pages back so it seems like they tweaked their algo too hard and they’re now saying they’re sorry.

Thanks to fb team they gave me the break and now my family love me , they are nice people :joy::joy:

Did you just appeal within the red notification on the top of the page? Or a different page?

Unpublished page got back or deleted ?

Did you appealed, after a couple of weeks? I have already appealed since Sept 27 but never got any reply. This is odd.

i appealed after 2 weeks of unpublishing.
they replied to the appeal after 1 week.
Simple appeal ( clicking the appeal button on top of the page )

Two pages got zero reach today.

One have 900k, the other one have 750k followers.

I have to wait for their email, they will check what’s going on… But this is really disturbing.
