Definition and Additional Information about Facebook Jail
By defining Facebook jail, we mean the problem when Facebook is banning your account and forbidding you to share content (images and statuses), as well as not letting you send a friend request. Many other movements and possibilities will be restricted, too.
Sometimes this condition can occur even if you break some rules unintentionally. You can post a picture that is not appropriate and can be disturbing, sensitive. This is alarming for Facebook and as soon as they get notified about the inappropriate content you have shared, they eliminate you as much as they can from their platform.
If you come sometimes to a saying that their Facebook account is in jail, you already know the meaning. They have broken the Facebook rules, which forbid violation and inappropriacy and now they have to take the consequences. Other behaviors that are considered spam are also considered to deserve Facebook jail. But there is some good news if you have been using this platform for a while now.
If you are an older user, you may have already been familiar with the laws. As you are familiar, you are a step away from Facebook jail. Statistics have shown that newer members are much more expected to get banned than the ones that have been present on this platform for a longer period.
Types of Blocking
Blocking that doesn’t last forever
If you get blocked in this category, you are not in the worst situation that you can get. This type of banning is only for a calculated period and you can get your account back after some time. When you get rid of the restrictions you can enter your account once again, as nothing had happened before.
The time frame of the Facebook jail in this situation is from a couple of hours to a few days. The maximum that the temporary ban can last is about 21 days or about 3 weeks in total.
Blocking that takes away your profile forever
We have come to a situation that is considered the worst. If you are blocked permanently, there are no hopes you can get your profile back. This is the game over. So far, computer scientists hadn’t found a way to fix this problem.

Bombarding with too many posts in a short time frame – Instead, let Facebook process some of the information you post, and then post again.
Don’t request to be part of countless amount of groups – Instead, try getting accepted in some first, and then search for new ones.
