Facebook complaint: Account restricted despite content abiding by Facebook’s community guidelines – no way to dispute or appeal

According to Facebook community guidelines:

In certain cases, we will allow content that may otherwise violate the Community Standards when it is determined that the content is satirical. Content will only be allowed if the violating elements of the content are being satirized or attributed to something or someone else in order to mock or criticize them.

Despite my having a very visible rated S for satire sticker on my picture, Facebook has repeatedly restricted my account – more often than not with no way to appeal and sometimes they don’t even provide any evidence of the alleged infraction. When that occurs, they send a white, empty screen where the image should be and provide an options button that doesn’t even work!

On rare occasions, I will be able to appeal and rarer still, I will win an appeal. But more often than not, they remove only one of the multiple restrictions and leave the rest active! That’s not winning an appeal – that’s being forced into a plea bargain! For a crime I didn’t even commit!

This is an absurdly unfair, unjustified and tyrannical practice! At least let people know what the alleged infraction is so that it doesn’t happen again!!! I’m at my wits end with this! So frustrating!
