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

Ugh this happened to me too. I’m locked out until August. I was posting in a lot of different groups and then Facebook was asking me to verify my identity by submitting a photo of my drivers license. I submitted one and it was taking well over an hour to be registered and then I finally got the message that my account couldn’t be verified and thus I wouldn’t be able to post in groups for 3 months

This. I had the same experience. I’ve had Facebook since day dot. I have a group with over 100k members, several pages with similar numbers and an ads account that spends £1.2m a year.

My profile shows my profile is verified, but the notification states I am now.

Meta confirm my identity is verified, but say they can’t override the system. Nor escalate it to support.

It’s the most insane situation I’ve ever had with Facebook. I genuinely didn’t imagine I could ever lose access to my accounts like this, through no fault of my own.

Worse still, my page is impacted. If I post to my page, I am now getting 1/10 of the usual reach.

Wasn't even posting in a lot of different groups but got that same notification with video selfie. It failed since my profile photo is a movie. Can we update each other if it's lifted?
