Summary

Hit the Highlights
(03:43) Here are the reasons why you could be in Facebook jail.
(12:13) What to do if you get put in Facebook jail.
(12:53) How long does Facebook jail last?
(14:26) How to contact someone to get out of Facebook jail.
Reasons Why You Could Be in Facebook Jail
- If you are commenting the same comment over and over or posting a link over and over. Don't copy and paste comments. You look like a robot and might go to Facebook jail.
- You are using a different name than your name in real life. (Don't use your nickname or business name for your personal account)
- You are using your personal Facebook page to post about your biz. You need to have a business Facebook page for that!
- Bullying, using hate language, talking about things that are highly controversial. (depending on how you word it).
- You are saying things like "comment below" "tag your friend" "covid"
- You did something that violates someone else's rights, including their intellectual property rights. Putting your name on something and not giving credit.
- Your credit card has expired for your ads account.
