Same. I have Instagram and Threads accounts, but I tried to get Facebook back about 5 years after deleting it and immediately got asked for ID and then was banned with no appeal possible. I guess they take deleting your account very personally.

similar thing happened to me, my recently opened Instagram account was suspended saying that it was being used for spam (even though there were no posts or comments, only liking and saving other people's posts), and allowed me to get it back only after adding a phone number.

This is exactly what happened to me as well.

Same. I had a deactivated account from 2015 I could no longer access .

Subsequent attempts to make new ones were instantly banned for “no reason.”

They did work with me to reinstate the 2015 account. And it’s never been banned or suspended since. I don’t really use it anyway.

But that’s how they are. They trust older accounts. New ones are treated like criminals.

Aren't most services demanding multifactor id these days? Ostensibly to defend against fraud, but nicely dovetails into their surveillance databases.

I think it mainly affects users who opted into FB's SSO feature across their other services.
