There is practically no difference in these requirements versus what Facebook is requiring. Try to create a Facebook account and they will soon flag your account to require a photo for facial recognition. You can't signup for Facebook without a valid mobile number. And if Facebook does not like the photo you provide for facial recognition, they want a government ID.
- franciscop 7y agoMmh no? I've been without FB account for 3-4 years, and recently opened a new one from scratch because some friends only use FB and absolutely nothing besides confirming my email was required. Yes, it does suggest that I add my phone, and that I verify my friends, and that blablabla, but nothing else is required for me to add few friends and join a chat.
- srslack 7y agoI'd been without a Facebook account for four years as well, but created one for testing/verifying the behavior of an application we'd recently gotten approved. As far as I'm aware it would not let me create an account without a mobile number to confirm the account. After performing a single action (creating a page), my account was flagged, and thrown into the facial recognition captcha process. See here for many more anecdotes about this process: https://www.reddit.com/r/socialmedia/comments/9r0ijd/you_cant_use_facebook_right_now/ https://www.reddit.com/r/socialmedia/comments/9r0ijd/you_can...
- monocasa 7y agoMy bet is that they were able to internally link your previous account and the new one. And probably kept building your profile while you were "without" an account.
- franciscop 7y agoOh interesting point of view. I was thinking they might have linked my "ghost profile", not the previous one, but yeah that's a possibility
