My personal Facebook account is suspended or disabled
The time-period you can appeal suspension of an account varies by region.
We may suspend your Facebook account if we find that the account or activity on it may not follow our Community Standards. You can appeal the suspension within 180 days. If you don’t appeal the suspension after 180 days or if your appeal isn’t successful, we’ll permanently disable your account.
When an account is suspended or disabled, it's not visible to anyone and you can’t use it.
You’ll know if your account is suspended or disabled because you’ll be informed in an email, and when you log in you’ll see We suspended your account or We disabled your account.
Appeal a suspension
To appeal a suspension, log into Facebook. You’ll be prompted to appeal the suspension within 180 days.
If your account is disabled
If you don’t appeal within 180 days or if your appeal isn’t successful, your account will be permanently disabled. You won’t be able to request another review of the decision.
Note: We may disable your account without suspending it first, such as in cases of severe or time-sensitive violations. Learn more about how we define severe violations from the Community Standards.

- Posting content that doesn't follow our Community Standards
