Facebook's way of surpressing the truth under the disguise of 'fake news'.People won't stop using Mark's site and put him out of business.
I can confirm that this is not the case - I know about FB pages that got penalized and all their images are completely family friendly. No spammers - all high quality content. Images are also legit. You just don;t know about them because they don;t want to have a fight with FB.
You are assuming that the FB algo is 100% accurate which is obviously not the case.

Facebook uses automated algorithms to "moderate" its site. These algorithms factor in multiple bits of information in how a report of spam (or abuse) is handled. Typically, it would take multiple reports from multiple sources in order to trigger an "alert" that labels you as a spammer (or as someone posting abusive content). This means that normally, one or two people being angry over something you posted would not be enough to get you blocked... and certainly not enough to get you blocked for more than a few hours or a couple of days.
That same algorithm also determines "punishment" for those 'found guilty' (by the algorithm) of violating the Community Standards. So normally, perhaps it would take 10 reports from 10 different users in order for one of your posts to trigger the alert that labels you as a spammer/poster of abusive content. The threshold for something like this is usually quite high - thus the reason it is often so hard to actually get rid of spam/abusive content.
Once that threshold is met, the punitive algorithm comes into play... 10 reports from 10 different users of ONE post you made? Maybe you get a 12 hour block. Dozens of reports from dozens of users on posts you made on multiple pages? Well, that's probably going to lead to a multi-day block.
That's how things NORMALLY work.
But something is broken in Facebook's algorithm, and because they do not actually have human beings reviewing our appeals or this Help forum, they don't even realize it. Not only is the threshold that labels you a spammer/abusive content poster screwed up (wherein perhaps it is only taking ONE report from ONE user on ONE post to trigger the alert), but the "punishment" algorithm is messed up as well... this is why many of us have been blocked for a month, two months, three months or even longer. It is looking like we've been dumped into a permanent block.
The technical explanation is probably more like: a variable in the punishment algorithm is set incorrectly. So where the software should be reading - and giving - a one HOUR block, it is reading - and giving - a one YEAR block, or something similar. Essentially, someone made a typo.
No human being was involved in generating your block. No human being is reviewing the appeals you submit. You have fallen victim to an automated process that Facebook is apparently unaware has run amok.
Repeated posting of those "follow these steps/click 'helpful'/get unblocked" chain posts will only have one effect: they will get you blocked from posting here on the Community Help forums as well. They will NOT get you unblocked from posting on pages, sending friend requests, etc. Stop spamming every thread with those.
You are not guaranteed free speech by anyone other than the government. Only the government may not infringe upon your right to free speech. An individual corporation, such as Facebook, absolutely 100% has the legal right to "silence" you on their service, for any reason, at any time, regardless of whether you like it or not.
Here are a few more examples of a few obvious FB algo issues: (Google search for the exact phrase as I am a new member and unable to share links)
"Facebook removes, then restores, dozens of Catholic pages without explanation"
"Facebook incorrectly blocking links on my business page??"
"Why would Facebook block all links to a 100% legitimate website?"
"Facebook deletes and blocks all links to small social media site Tsu.co"
