"You are restricted from "creating open graph actions" until Sunday at 6:43 AM!"

"You are restricted from "creating open graph actions" until Sunday at 6:43 AM!"

That's the message that greeted me when I logged into my Facebook account.

"Wonder what I did now!" That was my first thought.

So I did some virtual digging

Apparently, Facebook doesn't like you sharing things from outside sources, only they don't bother to tell you which outside sources they don't care for. If someone on the Facebook team deems your post suspicious, they'll restrict your activity without so much as a warning.

Second, lets say I want to join the daily User2User chat at 10:30 this morning. When I click on the link it gives me the option of signing in from different accounts. Again, I discovered that Facebook doesn't like this. Apparently they are afraid Andrew Hatchett is part of the Russian initiative to undermine our freedom in the USA so if I were to log in using my FB profile I can be restricted.

Third, (I am guilty of this.) I go to a trusted application and have forgotten my log in information. No worries. a prompt asks me "Wanna log in using Facebook?" And most times I do. Facebook no longer likes this and again may restrict your use for an arbitrary period of time.

They wouldn't tell me why they suddenly decided to restrict me. They just gave me these general guidelines and told me to figure it out.

I thought I'd share with this community for general knowledge and the hope that someone smarter than I knows more information
