Ask HN: Developer FB Account Disabled

[tekram]

This may not be the right place for asking this but....

I am not a Facebook user until I wanted to create a messaging bot. I created an account and then created a developer account. Soon there after, my account gets disabled asking me for photo and then remains disabled. It gets disabled for 'suspicious activity'. I am not interested in using FB for social purposes. My account was bare and perhaps that was suspicious. I actually then create two more accounts and the same result. I have emailed [e-mail] and submitted an appeal here: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907

What can I do that would not raise flags about suspicious activity with my account? I do not mind creating another account.

Quite frustrating...

Same issue here with my actual personal account. Uploaded my picture, did the appeal. Got no response. I decided if they don't want me on fb then I don't want to be on there either (too much ads and fake news)

Plenty of other social networks with less ads out there. You probably specifically want a fb bot though so good luck

Thanks. There are a ton of people having the same issue though only for their personal non-developer account. I even tried creating a FB account only and letting it sit there for a few days before making a developer account.
