I used to have a Facebook account and deleted it in 2009-2010. This is just me brainstorming, but would it make sense to have to submit a photocopy of your ID card to create a real name account for such a huge company, for the sake of creating something of a safe online forum/community? I would think people would be more responsible with what they post. I had done so for OfferUp, which to me, makes sense because people need to have a sense of safety and security when interacting with each other. I'd like to hear what others think.
- moon2 6y agoBrazilian government actually wanted to do it recently, require companies such as Facebook to require that you submit your ID and that you link a phone number to your account. [1] It sure makes things easier for the authorities, since they are also dealing with fake news and hate speech. However, it goes against the LGPD (like a Brazilian version of the GDPR). And it is hard to trust a company such as Facebook to keep data such as your ID. How can you be sure if they're keeping this data safe? How can you be sure they won't sell it?

- foofoo4u 6y agoYears ago, Facebook for some reason thought I was a bot and disabled my account. They required that I upload a government issued ID to verify I am a real person. I was finding Facebook to be detrimental to my health at that time, so I felt it a perfect opportunity to leave the platform all together. Plus I didn't exactly feel comfortable giving them that kind of information.
