I think you just get a new unique identifier and start over, right? None of these sites know who "you" are, they only have information about certain identifiers that you are in control of. First they ban your email, and you can create an infinite number of those for free. Then they ban your IP address, and you unplug your cable modem and plug it back in, and that problem is solved. Then they ban your phone number, but you can have a brand new one in minutes. Then they ban "you" based on your driver's license, but you just move to a new state and change your name, and get a brand new one that's not in their system. Facebook doesn't have a team of private detectives surveilling you 24 hours a day.

Realistically, I feel like the Tech Companies are losing against their more traditional peers, except maybe Amazon. Maybe social media is a big part of your life and you got banned, but I think it's pretty much on the way out. Nobody can make money with social media, it seems. AirBnB seems to have whipped traditional hotel companies into shape; better rates and less nickeling and diming. Now it's AirBnB that surprises you with a $200 "cleaning fee" because you didn't wash the coffee pot with soap and water. Paypal? Just make your customers pay you with Zelle. The incumbents caught up to the tech disruptors, and the incumbents are actually regulated.
