Facebook Disabling My Personal Account Killed My Sites’ Facebook Pages, Groups, & Half a Million Followers
I created a personal Facebook account between 2009-2010. Prompted years later to provide a suitable first and last name for the profile, I selected my professional name, Rollo Tomasi. In August 2019, after formally adorning the profile with that pseudonym, creating nine Facebook Pages (including one for this website), and dozens of Facebook Groups, gathering over half a million followers total, Facebook disabled my Facebook account, and with it my access to all the friends, followers, groups, and pages that I had created.
