I was suspended on Facebook 2nd June with no explanation, just an accusation that I might not have followed community standards. It's now been 31 days. I appealed my case, uploaded a photo of myself as identification, and emailed them x3 times last month. No response.

Facebook and Instagram users complain of account bans
After Meta said some Facebook Groups were wrongly suspended, users tell the BBC the impact it is having - and say it's a wider problem.

As Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' has been the UK number one single for 12 weeks, l thought it was about time l finally listened to it.

Verdict? Well, the song title is certainly accurate.

Just to let you know, I've been suspended from Facebook since 2nd June. I've heard it can sometimes last up to 30 days!

No idea what I've done wrong, they still haven't told me. Maybe it's the photos of my loud shirts or my bad dad jokes! Anyway, just letting the world know I'm still alive! :)
