Facebook Destruction

My Cloth Face Maskk Sale Page Image
On April 24, with unthinking and unreasoning censorship Facebook removed my business page from sight. It added an appeal button to the top of my page, that only I could see, however, using a mobile device that 'Appeal' button lands on an Error page. No amount of closing the site, the device, the browser allows it to resolve to any appeals page.
On the DeniseMadeIt (that now only I can see) page via computer, I found a 'disagree' button, and clicked it. I've searched for days for a 'way in', to no avail. On May 11th, it's still not published, my business completely destroyed because I built this portion on Facebook, reasoning that it saved a lot of time (which it did.) I had built up a thriving tiny business, and they destroyed it, without consideration, without review and without recourse.

Of course, I expected my page to be back up the same day. After several days I had to map out a new direction. I moved to Google Advertising of my own site, this site. They wouldn't accept a 'gift card' or purchased card for payment, so I had to get into my bank, to open another account, with a different debit card, to protect my accounts from any outside group having access to them. Next I had to spend hours and hours building out the Face Mask page. Once up and with the new card, it took Google several days to approved my first 'smart' ad, for which they determined that 'Face Masks, 4-Layers, Lots of colors and Fabrics' was an automobile ad, and used the word 'Journey' to be the catalyst to display the ad. Needless to say, no clicks or purchases. The next ad I set up, NOT a smart ad, was supposedly approved 3 days ago, but has not yet displayed once. And of course, all the sensible key words (cloth face mask..) are only allowed to the big buck advertisers...
