"...just as easy as it is to create new ones!"
I don't do Facebook, never have. But a few months ago I wanted to add login via Facebook to an app I was developing so I signed up for an account in order to get access to the developer stuff. I verified my email address, entered a mobile number, and my account was immediately blocked with a message that I had to send in copies of government id and such. Nope.
My question is, if it's so easy to open new fake accounts why did a legit account opening like mine get blocked?
- herbst 10y agoIt isn't. Facebook blocked all my legit accounts (those I used for ads and groups) and also expects a ID copy now.
- lkrubner 10y agoNot long ago, I wrote about my own frustrations with Facebook, and their request for an ID: "Facebook activated my dormant account and it won’t let me deactivate it" http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/facebook-activated-my-dormant-account-and-it-wont-let-me-deactivate-it http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/facebook-activated-my... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13965134 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13965134

It's simple really, facepook already collected the so called shadow dossier on you, now they need to attach it to your real identity so that it could be sold to advertisers.
