It's a vague question, there are tons of things FB does to make sure you are who you say you are for example:
- They will ask for a valid photo ID of you
- They will ask you to match pictures of "friends" you have in your account, with their names (like a quiz)
- They will force you to add a phone number to your account
- They might even ask friends to verify you...
...
on top of that there are many things, not one single thing, that lead your account to be forcefully de-activated. and the steps to re-enable it are pretty annoying, especially if you don't feel like sharing too much with FB!
- DoreenMichele 7y agoThey've already got my phone number. I have no idea why they have a problem with this account. I never had this kind of problem with my previous accounts.
- orliesaurus 7y agoMaybe THAT is the problem, having multiple accounts isn't really a thing they like at Facebook's HQ :)
- DoreenMichele 7y agoYes, that had crossed my mind. But, to be clear, I don't have multiple accounts. As noted in my explanation, I had one account twice under a previous email address. I deleted it because I was best known online as Michele in California and I left California and discontinued going by Michele, which is my actual middle name. I resumed going by Doreen, my first name. My previous account listed me as Michele. While it is actually my name, so is Doreen. Among other things, I felt simply starting over made more sense than trying to deal with their real name policy and explain that both names are actually my real name, etc. I never used Facebook that much. I never had a lot of contacts on Facebook. I'm baffled as to why they have so much of an issue with me starting an account under the name and email address I'm using currently online.
