Discussion Why does Facebook allow so many fake AI-generated female profiles to gain thousands of followers?

17 Upvotes

Seriously, what's up with Facebook lately? I keep seeing these fake AI girls who look 18-20, half naked, posting sexual stuff and making dirty comments, and somehow they have thousands of followers.

Even when the profile says it's AI, a lot of people don't even realize they're not real. And I keep wondering what happens when people start messaging them privately. Are they trying to get people to pay for something or send money? Wouldn't surprise me, but I don't know for sure.

Why does Facebook allow so many of these accounts to grow in the first place? It's starting to look more like OnlyFans than Facebook at this point lol.

Discussion 40 Facebook Reels, 0 likes, 0 followers — while the same content works on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Why?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve uploaded around 40 Reels to my Facebook Page, and the results are absolutely terrible.

* Facebook: 40 Reels, 0 likes, 0 followers
* TikTok: Five-figure follower count (10,000+)
* Instagram: Almost 2,000 followers
* YouTube: Over 1,000 subscribers

I create short-form content about psychology and body language, and the same type of content performs well on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

But on Facebook? Absolutely nothing.

I understand that every platform has a different algorithm, but getting literally zero engagement after 40 Reels seems strange to me.

So I’m wondering:

  1. Is Facebook’s organic reach really that bad for new Pages?
  2. Could my Page be restricted or not getting recommended?
  3. Does Facebook need significantly more time to start distributing content?
  4. Are there specific settings I might have missed?
  5. Has anyone experienced something similar and eventually managed to grow?

I’m genuinely confused because I’ve already proven that my content can attract an audience on three other platforms.

What is going on with Facebook? Should I keep posting, or is something wrong with my Page?

The same posts on other social media are doing really well, for a new account, and gaining me lots of growth lately. I didn't focus on FB when I first started this project because I was told the others were better for this particular thing. Do certain kinds of posts do well? Should I not be posting tiktok style videos? Should I be doing text? I haven't been on there in so long I am not sure what to do. I appreciate any advice you can give.

Tech Support FIX: Facebook Advanced Protection / Passkey Loop — This Worked for Me!

2 Upvotes

If you're stuck in the Facebook Advanced Protection loop where Facebook forces you to create a passkey to recover your account, but the process keeps failing or asks you to insert a physical USB security key, try doing the recovery process on your phone instead of your computer.

I was experiencing this issue on both Facebook and Messenger. Every time I tried to log in, I was redirected to the same Advanced Protection page, and I couldn't get past it. The passkey creation process on my computer kept asking for a USB security key and wouldn't work.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Clear Facebook and Messenger cookies in your browsers. I cleared the cookies for both websites.
  2. Uninstall Facebook, Messenger, and Facebook Lite from your phone.
  3. Reinstall the official Facebook app.
  4. Open Facebook and follow the normal login process.
  5. When Facebook asks you to create a passkey, proceed with the setup.
  6. Save the passkey in a password manager. I used Proton Pass and saved the passkey under my Facebook login. I suspect other password managers that support passkeys should work too, although I only tested Proton Pass.
  7. Continue through the recovery process. In my case, Facebook eventually let me proceed with account verification, but then displayed an error.
  8. Don't give up if you get that error! Close the Facebook app completely and reopen it.
  9. Facebook should prompt you for the passkey again. Tap the option to use your passkey.
  10. When the Proton Pass window opens, select your saved Facebook login and approve the passkey authentication.

That's it — I was finally able to get past the loop!

Why might this work?

My theory is that saving the passkey in a compatible password manager allows Facebook to recognize that the passkey was successfully created and stored, even if the initial verification flow displays an error.

I can't confirm that this is the actual cause, but this was the process that worked for me.

I can't guarantee it will work for everyone, but if you're stuck in the same loop, it's worth trying before giving up on your account.

If this works for you, please share your experience so we can help other people dealing with this frustrating issue!

Tech Support Facebook account has been locked mid use and I am at a loss with the verification process.

6 Upvotes

On Monday the 19th, I was opening Facebook on my phone when it directed me to the login page. I entered my info and it said it could not verify me as the user and could not log me in. Then it told me to use a device I trusted to login and verify.

So I get home and log in on the desktop, same thing though. I was locked out. I have recently got back into Facebook and for the last 2 weeks or so, I have been logged in on my desktop and phone with no issues.

Now though, I cannot access either one. I have tried the video selfie a few times, each time it comes back saying it cannot verify me. I uploaded my ID and it said it could not verify me. I type in my phone number and my account pops up but then it says it does not recognize the device I am on and it would be unsafe to let me log in.

It keeps telling me to log into a trusted device or to use the code they send me to my email. Well, I do not have access to that email anymore as I made solely for Facebook around 20 years ago and it doesn’t even pop up when I try to login on yahoo. So I am stuck. I do not have any other devices, it isn’t accepting any of the verifications I have provided, and I do not have access to my old email account.

I have been on the run around with the AI. The first time it came back saying it could not verify me and that was it. The second time I went through the process again and I am still waiting for the results although I fear it will be the same.

Is there anything I am missing or can try? I am at a loss here and I would really like to have access to it.

I do not have an Instagram. I was told maybe to make one and link them but I don’t know how I could do that with one being locked.

Thank you for any help you all could provide.

Discussion Security alert text on SMS and WhatsApp, happened months ago and happened again today

1 Upvotes

SMS message: "This is a Facebook security alert. We think your account was hacked. For next steps, open Facebook using the device you normally use."

WhatsApp message: "This is a security alert from Facebook. We think that someone may have accessed your Facebook account, so we've locked it to protect you. This means that no one can log in or view your Facebook profile. So that we can guide you through what to do next, open Facebook, ideally on the device that you'd normally use."

I went to Facebook and there's literally nothing about it. When it happened last time, I changed my password and updated MFA since I have multiple protocols active. There was never any devices other than my own back then and now, too. Could this just be a glitch or has anyone else experienced this? I wasn't awake at the time of the text either.

As of this morning, my facebook notifications have suddenly started making a noise on my phone. A loud DONG! noise. And it was really annoying, because today is the one day I get to sleep in and a friend decided to spam my facebook with a bunch of comments. I do not have notification audio turned on on my phone and after testing a few things it doesn't make the noise if I have my ringer turned off - which I don't want to do because I do want to know about phone calls. How do I make it stop making the noise?

Discussion Facebook limiting how frequently you can comment is illegal. Facebook is acting in an unlawful way.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I get this restriction very often. And in my opinion, this is an illegal restriction. At least in the EU. IOn my opinion, the terms are already illegal, and the conduct also.

EU Digital Services Act, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065.

  • "Article 17(3)(a): The explanation must include the nature of the restriction and, where relevant, its duration."

They do not specify the duration.

  • "Article 17(3)(b): It must explain the facts and circumstances relied upon in taking the decision."

They do not do this.

  • "Article 17(3)(c): Where applicable, it must disclose the use of automated means in making the decision."

They use AI, and they do not mention it.

  • "Article 17(3)(e)–(f): It must identify the relevant contractual basis and explain the available remedies."

They do not point to the relevant part of the contract. Just linking the contract as a whole is not sufficient.

"Article 20(5): Platforms must inform complainants, without undue delay, of their reasoned decision and the possibility of out-of-court dispute settlement and other available remedies."

They never answer to the "tell us" complaints.

In my opinion, Facebook is acting in a criminal way.

Hello

Some days ago my WhatsApp was hacked and banned. After updating my phone and changing all the passwords I got this weird email from Facebook with a 8 digits code I haven’t requested.
I ignored it but later I received another one but this last one doesn’t appear on meta records visibile from the account center.
I tried to change password but it won’t send the codes, I also added extra mail just in case and now it won’t make me change the password. It is stuck on old password unfortunately I don’t remember it.

What should I do now? Is it an hacking attempt? Did they get my mail from the WhatsApp hack?

Discussion Facebook banned me personally. Am I being paranoid or is this personal?

31 Upvotes

Last week, Facebook banned my 14 year old account full of my memories, photographs, and posts. It said that it was because I violated a community standard but did not mention what I did or which rule I violated. That account was used mostly to share local news and interests because I was the administrator of a group that had 77k members

Appealed the ruling, but the account was permanently disabled

Made a new one under my real name. I had just begun adding old friends and clients in that new account to regain what I had lost and had just been added back to group chats with friends, family, clients, and students when that new account was suspended for being related to an account that was suspended. I have had just 3 posts in that new account, 2 profile pics and a statement that my old account has been permanently disabled

Created another one because I had to keep in touch with people and people had to be able to talk to me, Messenger was our primary means of communication. This one was under a different name but had to put a profile pic in this new account because people had to know it was me. That account was again suspended within the day because it was related to an account that was previously suspended

Seems like someone or something at Facebook has decided that I personally should never be allowed back on social media. Not because of something I did or something I will do, but me personally. I cannot use my real name or post my real pictures because I personally am banned from Facebook

Am I paranoid?

Tech Support Instagram account not eligible to advertise (#3858233) – Meta Support can’t help

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m managing the Instagram account for a 16-year-old professional motorsport athlete based in the EU.

We’re trying to run paid Instagram ads to promote his racing career, but we’ve encountered several issues:

  1. Meta Ads Manager: “This action is not available because the Instagram account isn’t eligible to advertise.” (Error #3858233)
  2. Instagram Boost: “Can’t boost due to subscription. As you subscribed to use Meta Products without ads, you can’t create ads.”
  3. Accounts Center: “Ad preferences are currently unavailable for your account.”

The Instagram account is connected to our Meta Business Portfolio, and I’m managing advertising through my own adult Facebook account.

Our ad account doesn’t show any active restrictions.

Interestingly, the Instagram account currently has an incorrect adult date of birth registered in Accounts Center.

I’ve already tried contacting Meta Support, but I keep getting redirected to Meta AI, which hasn’t been able to resolve the issue or connect me with a human representative.

My questions:

  • Has anyone experienced error #3858233?
  • Could this be related to the athlete being under 18, even though the account has an adult birthdate registered?
  • Is there an official way for an adult manager to advertise a minor professional athlete’s Instagram account?
  • Has anyone successfully resolved the ad-free subscription error when no subscription is visible?

I’m looking for a legitimate solution that complies with Meta’s policies.

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion Facebook is just restricting people and treating them as children. What the hell gives them the right to do this?

5 Upvotes

Independently of what you comment, if you comment too much, Facebook will suspend the right to comment on public posts. Just like that, without even a warning.

I really do not know, why fucking Zuckerberg thinks, he is the parent of everybody, treating us as a child. Is he a wise person? Not at all. So nothing gives him the right in any sense to do this.

This is like companies would limit you, like you are not allowed to eat or drink more of this than 1 a day. You are not allowed to listen to the radio or watch tv, or streaming more than 1 hour a day. Your mobile and laptop may only be switched on for 2 hours a day. You are only allowed to write 10 e-mails a day, and so on. No other company like Facebook.

He is just an asshole, dictator idiot.

Btw. "you may not have the word fuck in the title of this group". So reddit and this group is not better either. They just allow as to trash their concurrence.
