I know of kafkaesque horror stories of bank and brokerage account loss, so it's not like brokerages are perfect, but it's rare enough that I don't personally know anyone who's had their personal account or funds temporarily lost, let alone permanently, whereas with FB, a decent fraction of my non-tech friends have lost accounts.
In one case, the account over has been running bitcoin scams for maybe a year? And of course FB's anti-fraud systems don't detect this, nor has support dealt with this.
