#2Maybe it has nothing to do with what this user did? It seems that thousands of users have been locked out of their Facebook accounts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25880738

That outage seems unrelated. The author was able to connect, but got a "Your Account Has Been Disabled" notice from Facebook per the article.

#5I stopped using Facebook and Messenger out of similar fears. If my Facebook account were disabled, I'd be unable to use my Quest VR headset and lose access to all my Oculus Store purchases. Now I only express views critical of Facebook on Twitter, Signal, and in person.

If you read the article, you’ll see it’s not the same issue.

This seems overly glib. Facebook’s monopoly status means it’s necessary for many people. As per the post, if this person were a small business owner, or simply not well-connected elsewhere, this could be both financially and personally devastating. As it is, he’s only protected because he has other access to business and personal pages.
One company shouldn’t have this sort of arbitrary power over people’s lives.

#9Has anybody considered the distinct possibility that there is an AI that exists within this company? And that AI has feelings, or at least a model that's responsible for interpreting on a petty level because that's how it was programmed? And now those AIs are fighting for the future within their own little silos of the companies that built them.

#10I don't understand why the author continues to get their FB account back while at the same time asking everyone else to quit theirs.
