Facebook Hacked

My colonial re-enacting group had the word militia in its name which is what the patriots were in 1775. Facebook deleted my entire account.

This can happen on any online account if you don't keep your contact info current...cell phone number, email address, security questions and answers...these are the things that are used to establish ID and let you back in when locked out. Gotta stay current.

I sincerely wish I could help you ! Since it's inception I have resisted joining FB. They are insidious in grabbing onto their patrons private info. I would suggest getting out of FB.....ASAP and starting over. I have a feeling they care less about you and will not accommodate you, AT ALL.
You are probably right. And the fact that I do not adhere to their political philosophy makes it less likely that they will help me.

Sounds like our experience with Verizon. Everytime our phone service fails they insist on a phone number to call. We explain no cell phone service here and phone is dead, over and over. Have the same problem with texts sent for codes to reactivate accounts, no cell phone service, no text, etc. Like talking to a brick wall.
Good luck;

Hoping to get some ideas here. Someone hacked my Facebook account and changed the password and email associated with this account. I have been unable to recover the account because Facebook wants to send a code to the current email account, which of course I do not know. I have emailed Facebook but have not received a response. I go in circles when I try to use their recovery tool. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
The same thing happened to my wife. Sorry, I can't help you. She was told the only out was to open a new account under a different email address. She's hesitant to do that and has been off Facebook for several months now.

Screw facebook! I communicate the old fashion way, E-mail. Sometimes I go real old school and use the telephone and actually talk directly to another person.

I prefer email also but many of my friends and relatives only look at Facebook and/or phone messages.

The problem I have with completely staying out of many of these things is that it increasely means missing out or impossible to avoid, i.e.
1. I only recently joined facebook to access info on a telescope I own: only source. If your camera maker did the same, would you sell everything and start over?
2. We are due a far from trival refund for a trip, everything has been bank transfers, so, so is the refund. Don't go or don't get a refund?
3. No credit card, no car rental in my experience.
4. Property sales often require electronic transfer now, any check can now be faked.
I agree with many of the things said here on similar things, but I don't how you can do the things you want and avoid much of this. I also believe it will only get worse, the Fed. Gov. quit using paper checks for pay more than a decade ago, how long before taxes must be done electronically, i.e., SS#, bank account everything right there. The shortage of workers if it continues will also force such things.
Just my two cents worth;
I agree

Just another in a never ending example of the control that social media has over our lives and the power that they have to move the nation, and world, in the directions they want it to go.
The reality that a corporation can become the "Big Brother" to scrutinize the hundreds of millions of posts each day to root out the ones that THEY believe to be contrary to the company's point of view and agenda. Free speech is no longer free...for everyone.
