Facebook Account Suspended

Hello! Has anyone figured out a way to remove their personal account from the equation when managing multiple pages, ad accounts, and business portfolios? I tried creating an alternate account using my work email address and was immediately banned.

I am a social media manager at a digital marketing agency. My personal Facebook account was suspended on 10/17/2025 for “cybersecurity” reasons. I submitted an appeal and have heard nothing back. I’m not worried that my account will be permanently disabled (okay, maybe I am a little bit), but I’m wondering how I can distance my personal account from the business portfolios that I need to be in.

We have multiple business portfolios and my personal account is tied to 100s of client social media pages, so when my personal account is suspended, it has a severe impact and I worry that it will eventually impact client pages.

Any advice is extremely welcomed and appreciated.

Do you have a Meta rep?

I manage over 400 social media profiles across our business and my account gets flagged every 12-18 months. Typically when this happens, I have to request a review and escalate to our Meta rep.

When I’ve had this in the past it was because we created a totally fake person, not a duplicate of one of our accounts. I worked at a museum named for a famous (long deceased) person, and we made an account in their name that we could share to run the museum’s pages. But the account was created a long time ago, so not sure that approach would fly now!

@melissa.macgregor Happy to report that I am back in business after about a month. I managed to track down a rep and after pestering them for updates daily for a few weeks, they managed to get my account unlocked. I’ll definitely be reopening the same thread when/if this happens again.
