I see your point: Facebook is known for having “shadow profiles” on people who have never used Facebook in their lives.

So to them, “this is the profile we’ve decided is amy “ and “this one isn’t.” Even if it is….

I agree with you too and I think most of this is automated. A client triggered this like you did and the only way I found was to get a dedicated phone with a new sim (for social media accounts). I don't even dare to check if the trigger account is still there (they promised to delete it after some time) - I know the one from before that, which triggered the ban is still fine - nothing happening there in 8 years. Why can't it be simple like skype in the old days when Mum made a new account every time she forgot her password...

This is exactly why I _haven't_ deleted my account. Until the make a way for me to 100% delete my data, removing my own access to it seems counterproductive.
