How do I know if my Facebook account has been disabled?

If your Facebook account has been disabled, you’ll see a message saying your account is disabled when you try to log in. If you don’t see a disabled message when you try to log in, you might be having a different login problem. Learn how to fix problems with logging in.

Why is my account disabled?

We disable Facebook accounts that might not follow the Facebook Terms. Some examples include:

• Posting content that doesn’t follow the Facebook Terms.
• Using a fake name.
• Impersonating someone.
• Continuing behavior that’s not allowed on Facebook and goes against our Community Standards.
• Contacting other people for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, or other conduct that’s not allowed.
