Bans appear to be random but definitely quite common. If you search on Google or YouTube you'll see tons of accounts of persons who had to face a similar situation that I reported here. Just as there are quite a bunch of tutorials which are trying to address the more mild cases of locks which are still manageable to be fixed.
Aw fuck them. Give it up. Start again. Though why you'd want to is beyond me. They are utter cunts and we have to fit in with them. Cunts. NB. Ignore me I', drunk/ (they are still cunts)
3 months ago it was useful for me to join a support group for my health specifically. Also, I'm a maniac versus failures so I wanted to solve the issue for the sake of it. And it's always general knowledge acquired
Since I'm going better I just decided I'll boycott FB. This community never brought me anything interesting
For eBay, since it implies delivery of goods, there was left to fix an identity problem to collect items. Imagined a solution that I can't share. But conscious to not feed the evil, I will try to migrate my trading activity to a decentralised crypto marketplace which is a lot more autonomous and less overlapping on censorship
A free online marketplace to buy and sell goods / services using cryptocurrency. OpenBazaar is a peer-to-peer ecommerce platform with no fees or restrictions.

Live chat is such a con.
Almost all companies/providers now push you to 1. FAQs 2. Chatbots 3. Live chat that is staffed by idiots. They say on their sites to contact them by email or call, but provide no number or address, instead sending you around in circles. Oh there is a hotline to call to subscribe or buy something, sure, but to get help? Hahahaha!
I believe most of the services we are offered today are legitimised cons. Just look at the whole of insurance. Now companies are trying to get me to pay into a fund to pay for my own funeral. LOL not only do they want to convince me to buy lots of barely functioning services whilst I'm alive, they still want to to milk me after I'm dead. What's worse, the adverts on TV are so obviously meant to be heart-wrenchingly targeted on older people worried about their families.
It's all fucking criminal, just legally so.
My rather contrary policy is: never buy anything anyone is trying to sell me, even if its a good deal and I need it.
However, there ARE some services that work on live chat and some companies that respond admirably to online or phone support. I know we aren't meant to link (so I won't) but I have nothing but admiration for PC Specialist and Zen (ISP) in the UK. Also the UK tax office has been surprisingly efficient with me in the past over online chat.
I remember many years ago when voice / speech recognition was promised as a revolution. Well, the progress has been misused. An excess of automation is a drift.
About insurance, we agree that everywhere intermediaries are inserted, it creates a breach for exploitation. Extending on it, it is true at the scale of the states too. If I compare the housing / communal taxes of France and here, there is a difference of 15 folds in price, yet the streets are cleaner from garbage, rebuilt excessively before they're busted, there are useless circulation agents everywhere. Makes you wonder where the money evaporates at some western places which milk their population.
Regarding health, I also stopped to fund private companies on the part I'm allowed by the government to freewheel.
Clearly, if personal savings are started early enough in life of the amount of the requested contributions with 3rd parties, in most cases you should do better ! Or if you don't ...master grandma remedies ;)

That's the ultimate opposition stance. Congrats ! :) Being ambivalent, I rather chose to abide by the rules of the system since I'm part of it, flow with it which can encourage destruction by itself if pushed to the limit, by becoming better at bad things
