So the lion kingdom's facebook account of 13 years was finally disabled.  It seems any user who gets pissed off can disable any account by claiming a "community standards" violation, so that's what they do.  Everyone on it over 10 years has pissed off enough internet commenters that they now have millions of disabled accounts.

There is some kind of review process which begins with getting a confirmation code on a phone number on file.  Since the lion kingdom's phone number was 13 years old & long since changed, there was no way to get a confirmation code.

What lions have discerned from much searching is if your phone number isn't accessible & logging in requires accessing the phone number on file, the account is permanently gone.  You can download your friend list & all your content, but have to wait 30 days for it to be expunged & create a new account.  Your data is still stored somewhere in perpetuity, because they give everything to law enforcement, but you can't access it anymore.

The good news is the new account would be unblocked from all again.  By the end, it had degenerated into some kind of toy.  All the hotties from long ago had become grandmas.  Of all the nefarious things lions have done in the last half century, the facebook ban was an ironic twist into the banal, a dumb locker room joke, a rocket photo that a disgruntled user would call an ITAR violation, a conservative leaning comment, a post that an algorithm classified as spam.
