Why are my photos being deleted?!?

Why are my photos being deleted without my knowledge or permission?!?
I understand if I’m crossing copyright or privacy lines (and they are usually inadvertent), but many of the photos being deleted are my own that I took with my own camera. Why?!? I do not get any notification of it, and I am NOT the one doing the deleting!!!
I understand if my photos might violate standards, but I EXPECT to be told of it, and I EXPECT to be informed as to why!!!
It’s been going on for a while, and quite frankly, I’m REALLY getting sick of it!!!

wordpress.com just doesn’t delete content. On what site are your photos deleted? Give us the URL of a page or post with a deleted photo.

Here’s a ‘blog article I wrote: https://pianorayk.wordpress.com/2019/11/18/passsummit-the-debrief-and-impressions-from-a-first-time-speaker-and-attendee/
Note all the broken image links where photos USED to be.
This has been happening with great frequency. And it’s REALLY pissing me off!!!

None of these images were uploaded to your media library but were taken from somewhere else e.g. https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/74674420_10220849720498879_3731089286045368320_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_oc=AQmNIub4xGweyfJWSE8IJuZX_KUPIzH8cBje_Lf3h4034vrYG6OJ_OpsPrnZfYdZUUjT5LBse7fjOmcEdNQ5xRGA&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=5169593aad5c42d9aa40dda28d926d52&oe=5E53EA79.
That explains why they are missing.
The only way to ad an image to your site is ny following instructions at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/ -
No. Not true.
I DID upload these images to my media library. They WERE in my media library. And that’s where I referenced them.
They are now MISSING from my media library!!!
Why?!?

The link provided by @staartmees isn’t the format of a link you’d see if the image resided in your media library/on your site. If you link to images hosted elsewhere you have no control if someone decides to delete them.
-
Okay, I’ll put the pics back in, but I’m telling you: the images WERE in my media folder!!!
I saw them in the media folder before. I am telling you that I was not seeing things.
-
fbcdn.net’ stands for ‘Facebook Content Delivery Network,’ meaning the image is hosted on the FB-servers nit on the wordpress.com server.
-
I went in and restored as many images as I can find. Let’s see how they go.
Apologies for my surly attitude and responses. It’s hard to be thankful when something is pissing you off like that.
