Facebook suspended my account right after creating an account by claiming I posted something that didn't meet their community standards which is a lie.

They want my phone number to confirm my identity. Since they do not have my phone number on file how could they possibly confirm my identity? They can't. If I was an imposter I could give facebook any phone number and hijack that account.

They just want my phone number. That is obvious.
But what about people that do not have a phone? I have one, but the signal is poor and I will not drive up the road just to get a cell signal to unlock my facebook account.

I guess those without good phone service need not apply.
Does facebook think they are too big to fail?

How many Facebook accounts have you had?

How many have been suspended?

If you are posting the misinformation there that you post here, then I suspect you are on their watch-list.

Never been suspended from facebook before.
I do not post misinformation, you do.

Facebook is obviously selling phone numbers. When they suspended my account for no reason except to get a phone number they also said my account would be deleted after 30 days. It is still there and it has been 33 days. They just will not let me access it without a phone number.

I could give them your phone number if you don't mind them selling your phone number.

Why do you really need to access Facebook without a phone number. If they want to access our data that’s their business model, we are the product of the Facebook factory

Why didn't they require a phone number to create an account if it was so important to them?

I reckon you’re reluctant to tell them because your country code starts +7. ๐Ÿ˜†

No, for refusing to post your imbecilic disinformation.

Give me your phone number if you want them to have it.
It is not to confirm my identity. I can give them any phone number and access the account, including yours.

What disinformation? You have never proven I have spread disinformation at all. You just mindlessly claim that without proof. Then you spread disinformation.

Everything you post is either disinformation or a bald-faced lie.

Probably to send you a text with a confirmation code. All kind of accounts do so now.

Why is your phone number such a big secret?

EDIT: In your FB profile you can make your phone number "Only Me" for "Friends" only or "Public".
