- 52-6F-62 9y agoI recently tried to log into their mobile, javascript-less site, and in order to let me continue to log in they required a photo of my face and my phone number. I've had to submit photos for online financial services/compliance, but not a social network that is tied into all kinds of other data. And that's what they asked because I wasn't running javascript. It raised my concerns about what they do when I do have javascript enabled on their services. And I work in a company that collects data from its clients -- but nowhere near their scale.
- ballenf 9y agoIs this satire? Holy shit if not. Did you try fooling it? Wonder what their TOS allows them to do with just that data.
- 52-6F-62 9y agoQuite real. Yeah I tried skirting the SMS/phone number feature but I didn't test the photo bit. I was too creeped out. If you can't replicate it through a standard browser, try through a VPN or TOR browser.
