There are so many reasons for not being able to send messages to anyone on Facebook and Messenger. Facebook authority temporarily blocked you from sending messages and making calls. It says exactly “You can’t send messages at the moment. You are temporarily restricted from sending messages and making calls. Learn more about when and why we restrict messaging and calling. LEARN MORE.” Note that this problem is not for getting blocked by Facebook, not by people. If someone blocked you, you would see ‘you can’t reply to this conversation‘.
