Questions about Facebook jail

Tags: Security

I recently got a message from Facebook saying a post violated a rule and I can’t post or for 24 hours. However on FB it doesn’t appear I’m blocked from posting and it still offers the buttons to post and comment. What does this mean? Does it mean if I post or comment within the 24 hours further action will be taken against my account?

Also does Facebook jail affect Messenger or Instagram? I have several friends I talk two with those apps, but I’m worried if I use them before the 24 hours is up I could get in trouble.

Upon looking in my support messages it mentions the offending comment, but I can’t find the notification of a 24 hour block. Is it possible I was simply warned about a block and misread out of panic?

the Facebook jail is the same as Instagram shadow ban, and it does not affect your messaging feature.
