QuestionWhy would an internal error keep blocking me when I am logged into Facebook?Community AnswerIf this error is still persisting, and preventing you from utilizing Facebook, they would probably like to know about it. Finding bugs and glitches is actually a big-money industry, and Facebook definitely doesn't want any weaknesses in their platform.

You can submit reports about glitches with the report tool, or contact them through the BBB as outlined in this article.
