Can someone give a clear statement why Face Me doesn't activate on bane and brute force nodes? They are both passive DoTs...

They are not passive DoT effects, and they are not debuffs as well. They belong to a third category of effects
At this point of my years playing this game I've realized Kabam will do what they will and take liberties as they see fit.
Face Me doesn't say it activates on passive effects on you, it clearly says it activates on passive damage over time...
I just said that those nodes are not considered passive DoT effects, that's all.
Can someone of the admins please explain why it is not working?
Should it work against all those bs node. The answer is yes, but how would kabam make extra $$$ from content being more difficult. It comes down to the bottom line. It’s really doubtful this will be changed or that anyone at kabam has a logical answer to this question. I 100% agree with what you are getting at though.
Brute Force -- not sure about that one. Must not be a passive degen.
"Passive effect" is not a description of the effect, it is a tag on the effect. Bane isn't tagged as a Passive effect, so it is not a Passive effect. The assumption is that if it is not a Buff and not a Debuff it is a Passive. But in this case, Bane is not a Buff, not a Debuff, and not a Passive.
Similarly, Brute Force doesn't say it is a Passive damage over time effect:
Sometimes the type of an effect is omitted from the description, but generally speaking effects should specify whether they are Buffs, Debuffs, or Passives. If they do not specify and nothing in context implies one of those, players cannot assume that an effect is any one of those three. Most commonly, global and node effects aren't always one of the three.
