This whole discussion is completely absurd.
What went so wrong that we want to send our government IDs and death certificates to one of the companies with worse records with respect to their users' data?
The real solution is to stop using Facebook.
- scottlocklin 8y agoAmen to that. Monetization of friendships (and "friendships") is evil.
- wowButSerious 8y agoBut beyond any of that, the idea that a Facebook account needs to correlate to real world consequences, and real world facts is beyond stupid. I can buy ten phones, create ten free email addresses, and create ten facebook accounts, tonight, and no one can stop me, or challenge what I've done, as long as it's not invasive and obnoxious to other users. Nor should it be possible to draw reproach for doing such a thing. There are real reasons for users to want to create dummy accounts like that, and as usual, there's no reason 99 people need to suffer because one asshole has to misbehave. Facebook, as a walled garden, is fated to forever lack practical utility. It's like a rain gutter that empties into a sewage facility you can never see inside. If you know that you can crack open a mercury thermometer and dump it into the drain, don't drink the lemonade they're selling outside the front gate, unless you can prove it's not contaminated by your thermometer disposal activities.
