Like if there are 50 people using computer to surf Facebook at the library don't the accounts gets suspended?

My friend tried making 2 facebooks with his home internet the account got locked and said needed to be verified first.

But at the library don't they get suspded? Since there are 30 people logged onto a single IP?

To answer : no — a library’s shared public IP by itself doesn’t automatically suspend every Facebook account. Public networks and ISPs typically use NAT (or carrier‑grade NAT) so many devices appear under one external IP; services expect this and use additional signals before taking action. (blog.cloudflare.com)

Facebook flags accounts when it detects "unusual" or risky signals, not just an IP match. Signals include device/browser fingerprints, session cookies, rapid account creation, reports from other users, and evidence of impersonation. Facebook’s policies also say personal profiles should be unique (multiple personal accounts are disallowed), so duplicate account creation is a common trigger for verification or temporary locks. (facebook.com)

Practical recovery and prevention steps: follow the on‑screen "Get started" / security‑check flow and complete any identity confirmation Facebook requests; use the account recovery/appeal flow if suspended (appeals are described in Help Center). Prefer logging in from a previously used device or your mobile data connection when completing verification, enable two‑factor authentication, remove duplicate accounts, and avoid rapid or automated account creation — these reduce the chance of future locks. (facebook.com)

A few clarifying notes tied to thread replies: ’s point about routers and shared IPs is correct; that’s normal. ’s suggestion to contact support is appropriate for persistent locks, but using proxies or VPNs to "work around" a lock often adds suspicious signals and can make recovery harder. For public‑Wi‑Fi safety and why IPs aren’t a perfect identity, see public‑Wi‑Fi guidance and discussions on network attribution. (facebook.com)

About the single IP. There are not enough IP addresses for the world in IPv4 so no, that's not an issue today as routers share the internet to the PCs on the other side. How this works is on the web so moving on.

As to the verification, Facebook has their system so just verify and move forward.
