I got booted off of Facebook for 30 days about 18 months before they wanted my drivers license and birth certificate to get back on. I was only told it was "spam" that they booted me those 30 days and wouldn't even let me see the help pages on Facebook using my modem (any device) or logged in at the public library... Yes, they hacked the public library system. When I finally got back on, I figured out that posting two identical event posts in two groups was the "spam"... a monthly special church service and the two groups are a group for the special services and the group for the church where they happen. That was when I decided to use Facebook's feature of showing old posts to delete all old posts then reshare the stuff with no personal information or political lean. I was still seeing some posts hidden from the previous year's purge so I hoped for another year of purging but I think I succeeded at obscuring my views. I also achieved my 5000 friend limit several times but since most were scammers sending the friends requests, the total was constantly dropping as Facebook booted scammers. I wanted this to make my real contacts hard to determine. My website host company was bought out and in the transfer, they broke my email address and lost 2 decades of emails. I suspect Facebook got suspicious of my identity because of the email fiasco. (and I don't use a cellphone)... But likely accepting too many scammer friends requests at once was the "suspicious activity" they used as an excuse to need personal information.
I have had two "cloned" Facebook accounts in the last two years....I know it this because I stayed away from Facebook until I accidentally created an account through another site. Since then I have discovered two older spam accounts using vacation home locations to claim to be me.
