Starting Fresh on Facebook

After a chat with a Marketing Expert at Facebook suggesting I delete my current account and make a new one - I've decided to do just that.

I will be using a different name (real still), different number and email.

I have 1 problem though - should I also delete my instagram and whatsapp account and make new ones there as well with the new number/email?

I'm worried Facebook might be able to link my new account to the old one through these apps.

P.S. I don't care about deleting my FB account, I've only used it to chat with 2-3 people and run ads

Was your whole account business and private restricted completely? If so I am in the same boat and was thinking of taking the same route as you with deleting my whole account and starting a new one. I have heard that Facebook can track your old account issues and apply them to a newly created account. My concern would be to go through with deleting the whole thing and then just have it come back again.

Tracing different accounts to the same person is easy: same IP address, browser, other traces of your fingerprint. If you really want to be safe, I would delete the account, mainly due to it having the same IP address.

I looked into their data policy on all their platforms and it seems they keep track of devices, ip addresses, contacts, etc.. Everything must be different for this to work.

I'll be deleting my IG and Whatsapp accounts - and also buying new devices and getting a new IP

My whole personal ad account was restricted so that means I can't run ads on any of my ad accounts or business managers.

You have to literally start from scratch - Delete FB, IG, and Whatsapp accounts then change laptop and phone as well as IP address. Use a new email and number when creating new account (also try to use middle name and last name instead of first and last incase they ask for ID down the road).

I think it's the only way to not get banned.

What a horrible black mark you can receive in online business. Is there any comprehensive tutorial with more details?
