    I mean it didn’t need to give me a reason, but since it did I am gone — to which I took the opportunity to expunged other iPhone time wasters: TikTok, Insta, Facebook, don’t really use much others.

    All I kept is twitter and Reddit.

    Clearly they got you to sign up and to take the time to post a thread saying you got locked out due to failing 2FA.

    I don't understand what faked means in this context. To me a 'fake' account means a second account.

    You seem to be the one that think you're important, somehow, right? Facebook isn't the one complaining here.

    I am sorry the facebook locked you out and they tried to steal your personal information.

    I hear that Ron Paul is posting on the facebook about buying gold to prepare for the Russian invasion in the Fall.

    So, in essence your account was 'hacked' since they had access to your information.

    Best way to avoid those if you ever rejoin in the future is to not play the stupid games like 'what kind of car are you' or 'username is 120% fierce' or 'who would you trade for Austin Hedges'.
