I've been out most of the day and haven't been on facebook until now and had to verify myself again. I would love to know what I've done wrong this time. I haven't liked and shared for a couple of days now due to all of this. It's really putting me off facebook atm. Think I'm going to stay away from there until they sort it out.

From the link above:

“A Like that doesn’t come from someone truly interested in connecting with a Page benefits no one. Real identity, for both users and brands on Facebook, is important to not only Facebook’s mission of helping the world share, but also the need for people and customers to authentically connect to the Pages they care about. When a Page and fan connect on Facebook, we want to ensure that connection involves a real person interested in hearing from a specific Page and engaging with that brand’s content.

Yes, the competition that brand are running!!

I only like a page if I am genuinely interested in the product and thus the brand. I've found lots of companies through comps that I wouldn't have known existed before they posted a comp.

On the Facebook Community forum there are people from the US who have been receiving this message when they try to share something

They aren't compers but a lot of them were sharing pictures of lost cats or animals in rescue centres who needed homes and they thought that they were being targeted because they supported animal rights!

I've just been blocked for 30 days.

Thought I was getting away with it after being asked to verify by CAPTCHA a few times and not having much trouble with it

A Like that doesn't come from someone truly interested in connecting with a Page benefits no one. Real identity, for both users and brands on Facebook, is important to not only Facebook’s mission of helping the world share, but also the need for people and customers to authentically connect to the Pages they care about. When a Page and fan connect on Facebook, we want to ensure that connection involves a real person interested in hearing from a specific Page and engaging with that brand’s content. As such, we have recently increased our automated efforts to remove Likes on Pages that may have been gained by means that violate our Terms.

On average, less than 1% of Likes on any given Page will be removed, providing they and their affiliates have been abiding by our terms. These newly improved automated efforts will remove those Likes gained by malware, compromised accounts, deceived users, or purchased bulk Likes. While we have always had dedicated protections against each of these threats on Facebook, these improved systems have been specifically configured to identify and take action against suspicious Likes.

To be clear, we do not and have never permitted the purchase or sale of Facebook Likes as we only want people connecting to the Pages and brands with whom they have chosen to connect. Beyond the need to maintain authentic relationships on Facebook, these third-party vendors often attempt to use malware or other forms of deception to generate fraudulent Likes, which is harmful to all users and the internet as a whole.

These improvements to our site integrity systems benefit both users and brands alike. Users will continue to connect to the Pages and Profiles they authentically want to subscribe to, and Pages will have a more accurate measurement of fan count and demographics. This improvement will allow Pages to produce ever more relevant and interesting content, and brands will see an increase in the true engagement around their content.

To help protect yourself in the future, please be aware of suspicious links and visit https://www.facebook.com/hacked if you have any reason to believe that your account may be compromised. We also highly recommend that Page owners vet any business that offers marketing services to build your Facebook presence, to make sure that these companies are using only legitimate practices, which do not violate the Facebook Terms.

Facebook was built on the principle of real identity and we want this same authenticity to extend to Pages. We undoubtedly expect that this will be a positive change for anyone using Facebook, and we look forward to helping even more people share and connect with the friends and brands they care about.

I have just been blocked for 30days so will not be doing any facebooks for a while. That's their loss I say, plenty of other comps on here to keep us all happy.

I've started posting this on like and shared comps, feel free to copy and paste :
Unfortunately like and shared competitions are against facebook rules and people who enter them are having their accounts blocked. Enter this at your peril
