Facebook Purge - October 2019 - Are pages getting deleted?

Facebook is down. Maybe they are pushing some update

They are trying to fix the problem.

That is bull-doo-doo. My page is back up, and reach is normal. It required intervention by a supervisor and about 6 weeks of going in circles, f-ups, and general madness. I’m certain that a lot of the problems are due to serious code bugs that no one can really control. The AI has borderline personality disorder. The mods have to make 3-second decisions or they won’t make quota. They are outsourcing critical moderation decisions to sweatshops, from what I’ve read. It’s a hell realm there.

Was your page unpublished or simply placed on restriction/feature limit?

Zero reach problem with my page. Now fixed, after 6 weeks of constant struggle. I’m crazy careful with everything I post now. Mistakes are made by AI, and stressed people must make snap decisions to make quotas. So, my page has become much more tame, unfortunately.

My 450k page got unpublished today. :cry:

Here’s my advice for you, don’t use VPN anytime on our device when you open Facebook, you will be flagged for inauthentic activity. If you post links and articles from other sites that you don’t personally own stop it.

Do you know for a fact whether either of these activities got your page unpublished? Or did they just give a generic reason (“inauthentic activity”), which could be a lazy excuse? Everyone shares posts (with credit). It’s a core Facebook activity.

Read this: the latest purges are because of two types of violations. Coordinated inauthentic behaviour (CIB) and inauthentic behaviour. (IB)

Can you give me more details or links about Facebook outsourcing content moderation jobs.

This is all BS. We had a food FB page. All we shared were photos and videos of food we took as part of our business. FB took it down then deleted it for inauthentic behaviour. We asked them what about posting photos and videos of food we captured was inauthentic? They said their decision was final and we couldn’t appeal it. Bunch of wankas.

Just so you know, anyone who is doing promos on their pages should beware. Facebook might have started flagging shared posts as spam again, this is where the purge actually started from. First it was the flagged posts, then they started locking people out of their accounts and disabling them and then they started unpublishing pages left and right and putting people as moderators on their own pages for a long period of time. I got a few posts flagged and other page owners I know have been experiencing the same.

If you got unpublished and your business is registered, just write in your appeal letter that you can submit the business documents and any personal id’s for verification and they will get back to you to submit those documents and publish the page in a few hours.

My pages got unpublished on November 30th and I appealed yesterday morning got them back in about 3 hours after appealing.

Wishing you guys for the best outcome :slight_smile:

I got story limit on my page one week ago, yesterday was unpublished. Had around 150k followers, 2 years old page with just 20 - 30 links shared and the rest was images like 1 image in a day or two. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get published again?

Has anyone seen this before? Please let me know

Has anyone seen this before? I’m not sure what it means or what it’s for. Any help would be appreciated

0 reach problem started for my page for last 8 hour.I understand from ad break monetization , 0 profit for last 8 hour, and when i checked all post reaches,shares have stopped.I did nothing wrong, contents were original.How to solve this?

So yesterday the algo flagged one of our posts. We appealed and they put the post back but the reach is really miserable. Anyone experienced the same thing? How long did it take until the reach was back to normal?
