It’s been one year since Facebook (FB) banned me. You can read my pinned article. I wasn’t too worried about keeping in touch with other people because I opened my FB account in 2019 to promote my online business. I used FB groups to promote my online business. I also purchased FB ads to promote my business.

I received a notification that FB suspended my account; the next day, I received a permanent ban. After the ban, my biggest worry was that my online revenue would decrease considerably. My online revenue decreased, but it increased by 733% a year later.

I wasn’t worried about people I followed or who followed me on FB because the only people who knew me were those I contacted by phone. Everyone else was strangers or high-school classmates I hadn’t seen since high school.

I’m making more money than I ever have regarding my online income. Still, I can’t help but wonder what happened to my one-time friend I contacted through FB Messenger. I don’t know what happened to her and would have loved to keep in touch with her.

I did receive a call from a friend and my cousin who saw me on FB after the ban. They said they saw a profile that matched my profile. They also said my account could have been cloned and told me to contact FB to let them know.
