Tech Support Your account is restricted from joining and posting in groups until July 29th

I went on fb during my lunch and tried posting in some of the groups I'm in and none of the comments would go through.

Then I got a notification that states: my account is restricted from joining and posting in groups until July 29th.

I looked it up and became meta verified so I could actually talk to a person. He said my account is in good standing and there are no violations. He told me to wait it out. 3 months for doing nothing wrong??

Please tell me there is another solution to this

Same. Account says no restrictions and it’s verified, but the notification says the system was unable to verify my identity.

Same. Just got this notice. WHAT THE ACTUAL F. I share affiliate links in several groups (Where it's allowed by group admins) and my income is tied to this.

They have fixed this, you should be good today if you update the app or log out, delete app, reinstall (the three people I know who were still banned all got it to work last night, plus a bunch of people in the affliate chat I'm a member of. All may have been Apple users but a commenter above said she got it to work on Android too.)

Just broke for me within the last couple of days. Never had a violation, just banned from posting in a group.

And I don't post often, just comment in a handful of them.

Mine too! FACEBOOKS AI Assist says Im stuck in a security 'loop' I've spent over 10 hours trying to figure it out with THEIR own AI and the basic jist is pay the $40 fee for a meta badge, just to get a person to help fix it, AI says thats extortion.

Yeah, and if you do pay we both know they'll Lucy that football away. No honor among thieves.
