I had a similar issue and ended up deplatformed by FB. I hadn't logged in for a couple of years, but some friends had tagged me in an event photo. Figured I might go checkout what was posted over time.

When attempting to log in, my password was not recognized. I successfully reset my password, but upon logging in I was presented with a validation prompt demanding I get several people to vouch for me, from a selection of 6. Only problem was I only knew one of those people.

At that point my entire profile vanished from FB. Friends and family no longer see me in their lists, even my wife. There's no way to contest this or get support, so I vanished.

Later I found out an astroturf profile of me was created, but its not me (I have a globally unique name). There's no way I will ever use a Meta product or account in the future based on this experience.
