       | Happened to my wife, a small business owner who works with a lot
       | of moms in the area (e.g. she belongs to lots of "<neighborhood>
       | Moms" groups). Plus we moved in the pandemic, and all her contact
       | with friends is over Facebook, so she's basically been crying
       | since she woke up this morning. Sounds like it might be a bug
       | related to PHP max time.

       | Facebook is the defacto organization standard for many local
       | businesses and communities. For many, denying access essentially
       | cuts them off from even local society.
       | 
       | How many times have you heard?: "We notify people through
       | Facebook.", "Our club uses Facebook to setup meetings", "Like us
       | on Facebook to get the insider deals. "
       | 
       | Banned users in the US should contact their states attorney
       | general to ask for a remedy to the civil rights violation.
       | Facebook does business in every state and encourages businesses
       | and communities to organize using its facilities and there is no
       | alternative for a banned user if businesses and communities have
       | chosen that platform.

         | What then would the incentive be for users to leave Facebook?
         | The conflict is why social media companies come and go. Most
         | young people don't even use Facebook anymore, or hardly any
