Facebook blocked the wrong account (but I have closed one now)

RAP_2

OK so I have been blocked now, but they blocked the wrong account!

I have 2 FB accounts, one for comping and playing games and another for keeping in touch with my friends and it is my friends account that has been blocked. This is no real hardship for me (until they block the other account) and I am not going to appeal it. In fact this may actually be useful if, as it has been suggested, is one page that is causing the problem as I did accidentally enter a comp via my friends account yesterday. I entered this comp https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/68214903#Comment_68214903 without realising that I was logged in to the wrong account. I am not sure if this is any use or interest to anyone and I doubt a page like this would be reporting people, but I have no idea why my friends account would be blocked as I only like friends posts and pictures every now and then.

PS the profile that has been blocked only likes 84 pages. Totally bonkers!

you are only allowed one FB account

See, this is why I think it's a glitch somewhere!

you can have as many as you want providing each one is with a seperate email

Otherwise 'john smith' will be forever under watch

Not being caught for having multiple accounts doesn't change the number you are allowed.

I have deactivated one account.

A lot of people have more than one account, it's against the rules but I'm not sure how Facebook would have the time or resources to actually prove you own two accounts (as they'd have to be under 2 different email addresses).

I've got a personal account and an account for my dogs "adventures", It wouldn't be hard to work out that my personal account and the dog one are linked, but I don't see how you would be able to dynamically or automatically detect the links ... but if a person was looking at it, then it would be pretty obvious.

(Obviously they have the resources, but whether or not they'd be willing to use those resources on manually checking millions of accounts is another matter.)
