Agree with this!
Wow! I am amazed they would do that but they take the word of other users, and they shouldn't. Truth should win over folly and lies.Yes, and Meta/Mark allows those companies, or folks associated with them, to report people like TUG Brian & I who try to steer people on the TUG FB group away from them to report us for going against FB's Community Standards and puts us in FB jail (freezes our accounts and makes them not visible to anybody). FB allows us to appeal even though they don't say what comment and or post was reported, then say "It usually takes us just over a day to review your information". It has now been 10 days for us!
Guilty until proven innocent!

I am totally blocked & DD says when she tried to send me a FB message it said undeliverable. Then she tried to look at my page -it doesnt exist! I even put a VPN on my phone, made up a new Gmail adr and tried to set up a new account using a different name, hometown and birthday and was not allowed -it said they encountered a problem & try later. I have tried many times -same thing. The odd thing is I get a notification on my phone when a friend posts something, but am unable to look at it.
Not just scammers. There is a story in the Toronto Star newspaper today from their consumer investigations reporter about how easy it is for anybody to buy many different types of narcotic drugs from an ad on FB. Their reporter was able to buy cocaine, Percocet and many others from an ad on Facebook in the last few weeks. The packages came from the USA and were delivered by Canada Post with no troubles/hold ups at customs. The story is behind a paywall but here is a YouTube version (

This is what I see when I try to look at FB -same thing whether looking at the website or the app on my phone;
Diane, you submitted an appeal
ON NOVEMBER 22, 2025
Check back here for the result.
Your account is not visible to people on Facebook, and you can't use it.
What happens next?
It usually takes us just over a day to review your information.
If we find your account does follow our Community Standards, you’ll be able to use Facebook again.
If we find your account doesn’t follow our Community Standards, it will be permanently disabled and you won’t be able to appeal again.
Not sure how they measure days but its way more than "just over a day"!
So very frustrating!!
I dont know for sure it was a person from the TUG FB page that reported me, that is the only place I may 'tick off' a person like an exit company owner/user. I dont post or share anything controversial, usually just vacation or family photos or a funny cartoon.
A similar thing happened to our DGS's other grandma earlier this year. She is very anti-Trump on FB and one of her "friends" is very pro-Trump and reported Shelley for posting inappropriate material then boasted on her page that she 'got rid of Shelley'. It took a month to get the account restored with no explanation or apology. Her first action was to unfriend & block that "friend".

I wish it was just the TUG mod. page, but nope -the whole kitten caboodle! I am not sure it was a person reporting something that had I said on the TUG page, but I have had many private messages from folks pretty upset that we (TUG) are telling people not to use their exit service or a rental company, but from a presentation, or whatever. One guy said we/TUG had no right to tell people what to do with their unwanted timeshare! I can not think of what else could have caused the suspension, since as far as I know I only have one real 'enemy' and since he (not a TUG member) seems to have a spy in here who sends him screenshots of my comments, I will say no more. It is just too bad that Meta doesnt tell us what we posted/commented that caused the suspension and offer no way in the appeal to explain why we posted it.
