I am not able to login in my fb account whenever I login it shows me
We received your information
"If we still find that your account didn't follow our Community Standards, it will remain disabled.
We're always looking out for the security of people on Facebook, so until then you can't use your account."
Do anyone has idea how to resolve this?
I have already mail to FB but they are taking too long to reply.
Sorry for asking this question here.
No, the same thing happened to me just now, April 19 at 5 pm, and I was just about to set up the account for the very first time and was fiddling with the security setup by setting up two-factor authorisation, and by switching off the friends list from public view, and had not yet started to upload any material (as less than 30 minutes had passed since the account was created). That move triggered some automatic algorithm... I was just suddenly thrown out with the message that the account wasn't following community standards and would be closed in 30 days. I didn't even have time to upload a photo of myself or post a single entry to the feed.

This is not exactly a programming related question but it is closely related to developing so I think it is pertinent.
I´ve been charged in my work with developing an app with access to Facebook Messenger. I needed a Facebook Account and I didn´t want to use a personal one (and I don´t use Facebook anyway) so I created a new gmail account to use it to sign up in Facebook, as user and as a developer.
After a couple of days of work, having created the page, my webhook, done some tests, etc., and investing a good deal of work hours, my account appeared as disabled.
I have to admit a didn´t use much of real info on this account (I´m kind of allergic to disclosing personal information unless mandatory), and the account was new so I thought that maybe that was the reason (they don´t give you any).
So I tried again a second time with an account I had been using for years (just for logging in some sites, not much of real information there neither, as I say I don´t really use Facebook), and after a couple of days, same results, locked account.
I can´t stress enough I don´t use the API extensively, I just send some messages to another user I have added as one of the application developers so I can test (that other account is never blocked, by the way). It´s not like I am sending hundreds of messages or anything like it. And by the way, I have never been blocked while I was doing something (so I could indentify my wrongdoing). It just happened that at some point when I was going back to work (first hour in the morning, or after lunch for example) I tried to log in again and then I got the warning.
So I have tried a third time, this time I have given all my real information, reluctantly uploaded a personal picture, given all my data to Facebook (yikes!).
And after a couple of days: damn, same result. Blocked account. Work lost. They prompt you to upload a picture to check your Id, but to no avail (no answer yet, not even a notice of any kind) and they don´t give you absolutely any reason why the have blocked you.
And if I go to https://facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907 to fill the form where they ask you to upload an ID then it says that the email doesn´t belong to a disabled account!
What is the unusual activity they have detected? What have I done wrong? Has someone experienced the same problem? Has someone got any clue of what it is that I could be doing wrong?
Because I don´t want to go through the whole process once again only to get blocked in a couple of days.
Thanks.
EDIT 1:
Ok, after checking again now it recognizes the account as a disabled one. I have gone to https://facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907 to fill the form and I have uploaded my ID (even though I completely disagree with disclosing that kind of information).
Honestly, I don´t know what it means by "shortly". It´s been two days now and I have not received any kind of notification yet.
By the way, I haven´t received any kind of notification (mail, sms, anything) during any step of the process EVER. No one. Nothing. Not even an automatic email response. Plain absolute silence.
Honestly, if Facebook uses a security system like this, that lets hackers in while blocks legitimate users, creating false positives and making us lose many hours of work, without any reason or notification or explanation, then Facebook security is plain wrecked.
And I cannot do anything less than to strongly discourage any developer to use it if they can avoid it (what unfortunately I can´t).
EDIT 2:
After some days I regained access to my account again. Without any notification, I just tried again and now it worked (really good communication policy, Facebook, congratulations).
My App had disappeared, so I had to go through the whole process again. And after sending ONE message to the API, this again:
And once again the asked me to upload a picture of myself (I think they already have enough pictures of me to make an album).
This is just plain crazy.
I applied twice in the google forms for a developer key for soundcloud to use a widget on my website. It has been more than 3 weeks and I have still not got any reply from them. What do I do?
I'm afraid you just have to wait until they respond. I have applied 3 times now and keep getting rejected and the response is a generic answer not explaining why you were denied. For me I think it is the APP URL, yet they don't explain, it is so frustrating.
Did you try email api#soundcloud.com on my first rejection they were very friendly and replied with advice, however second time they did not.
You can also try calling help on +4930467247600 however they have not worked for me.
Lastly I read online that one person heard nothing from them for weeks and checked his SoundCloud developer page under 'YOUR APPS' and his app was there set up and with the client id and secret etc. He was just never informed that he got it. So hopefully that is the story in your case.
For me it took four weeks. I contacted them via Twitter and Email. They responded but all they said was:
"As mentioned previously, we’re currently working through applications
as quickly as possible, although there has recently been more requests
than usual lately causing delays.
You should receive confirmation soon though."
I have a simple message bot that was set up according to the Messenger Platform guide. It has been working fine for the last few months, with about half a dozen messages sent a day. I have not touched it at all, but suddenly, sending a message, ie calling https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages?access_token=..., returns:
{"message":"(#230) Requires pages_messaging_subscriptions permission to manage the object","type":"OAuthException","code":230,"fbtrace_id":"DVs...."}
This was out of the blue. Things were working fine, I did not even log on to Facebook during this time, and I haven't even looked at my webhook callback website. But some time from Aug 17 onward, this exception was returned for every attempted message send.
Has something changed? Anyway, I could not find a subscription field by the name pages_messaging_subscriptions in the Webhooks Page Subscription page.
What do I need to get my message bot to work again?

Now, to send a message a day after the activity of the user is necessary to request additional permission in the application settings.
I believe this to be a bug and hopefully someone from facebook or instagram can confirm.
I am working with the real-time API from Instagram. I have one subscription which is working fine and my callbacks are working as intended. Images are been projected as they should.
The problem is that not all of the accounts work. For example i got an account xxx1 and xxx2 that take a picture and use the tag 'somethingnew', I am subscribed to this tag, they take a picture and it is not projected. In fact the callback url is not even getting information. Then I use an account xxx3 which I just created and everything works as it should; in real time. Since I query from last tag taken I get the pictures that account xxx1 and xxx2 took.
Any ideas? Is it a bug?
First check your subscription are taken into account using the following API:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/subscriptions?client_secret=xxx&client_id=xxx
Note that it's a common problem to get an error on subscription. There are plenty of AWS servers answering to that API and some are not working. Ping api.instagram.com and you'll see you get multiple and different IP for that domain name. There is a DNS round robin and you are not reaching the same server every time.
I've found one server (IP) which seems to be working for subscription and have configured my server to use that one (by editing the /etc/hosts file). Not a reliable solution ... but it's working.
Then, note also that "real time" is not really "real time". You could receive a callback request for a picture posted several minutes (and sometimes a couple of hours) ago. That's weird ... but we've to live with that.
I've already open tickets for all these problems but got no answer from Instagram.
I have a web site using Facebook Connect where people have a strong incentive to create fake Facebook accounts and login multiple times in order to get more "votes" in my singing competition.
Anyways, I've come up with a strategy to identify these fake accounts and not let them use my site. (Haven't done the programming yet)
If their earliest wall post is more than 30 days old, then validate them.
If they have more than 20 friends, then validate them.
If their first profile picture is more than 30 days old, then validate them.
If their account has been phone verified, then validate them.
Number 4 is the one I'm having trouble with. One post I read says the GRAPH API has a verified field, but suggests that shows if the email has been verified (but not phone). This has proven a tough thing to search for. So I'm still unsure if this is possible.
Any comments on my strategy or help with #4 would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Actually the verified field should be what you are looking for. From the docs:
A user is considered verified if she takes any of the following
actions:
Registers for mobile
Confirms her account via SMS
Enters a valid credit card
We use verified and friend count to limit people. We even put those requirements into our legal terms so there's no misunderstanding.
