For most violations, if you continue to post content that goes against the Community Standards, despite repeated warnings and restrictions, Meta will disable your account.
After 5 strikes, you may receive additional 30-day restrictions from creating content, or we may remove your account, depending on the severity and frequency of the violations. In some cases, a violation may be severe enough that we’ll disable your account after one occurrence, as in the case of posting child sexual exploitation content.
We’ll also work to disable some accounts as soon as we become aware of them, such as those of dangerous individuals, sex offenders convicted of offenses related to the sexual abuse of children or adults, accounts created to get around our restrictions, and in instances where people misrepresent their identity. We may also disable accounts or restrict access to features based on signals such as engaging with violating content (e.g. liking or saving), or membership in communities (e.g. Groups) that we have removed for violating our more severe policies, including child sexual exploitation and human exploitation.
If your Facebook or Instagram account has been disabled, you'll see a message saying your account is disabled when you try to log in. We also let you know whether you can request another review if you believe we made a mistake.
