I've no idea why she's put up with FB for long. I've none of the issues she has with Facebook, I just hate it on privacy reasons. So... I don't use it.
But if she's gotta use it just submit fake ID. Scan your license or passport, and edit information. This works fine and there is nothing wrong with it.
Complaining about their security policies... Eh I'm gonna guess that FB engineers probably want to protect user accounts as that's in their interest. It doesn't help them to lock users out for no reason. FB is a private company, and, as much as I dislike them, they can do whatever they want, including requiring ID to login.
Though, I'd imagine you could file a lawsuit to force them to delete your info, if they refuse to do so without ID. But that'd probably leak your ID in the process.
- danellis 11y ago> FB is a private company Facebook is a public company. I'm surprised anyone reading HN would have missed their rather high profile IPO.
- baby 11y agopublic means government owned
- danellis 11y agoPublic company.
- asuffield 11y agoSorry, this is incorrect. There are several very similar sounding terms here, which do not mean the same thing. A "public company" or "publicly traded company" is a company traded on the stock exchange. A "state company", or "publicly owned company", or "public sector company" is a company owned by a government and not traded at all. The terms here are a regrettable accident of history, which often confuses people.
- MichaelGG 11y agoIt's not public as in a utility or other government run or specially regulated utility or something. Their management and decisions regarding most of their features are private. I don't think it changes the point of my comment at all.
