> I know of people whose facebook accounts got blocked and were asked to provide some id since the accounts were opened from two different geographies. Ah, I see. Unrelated to VPNs, but if you want another anecdote: I had my FB account blocked because I physically moved to another country, and some months in I decided to recover the password to my account (which I hadn't used in a year or more). Now, I 100% agree that this was a _super_ suspicious-looking series of events, but out of all possible ways to verify my account, how did FB choose to check my identity? "Please login with a device that you had previously used to access this account. You must do so within 30 days or your account will be permanently disabled." Of course my old devices were in my old place in another country, and I wasn't going back within 30 days. Fortunately I only used FB to join some IRL groups or to talk to the occasional person who had no other messenger, so it was no great loss, but I can imagine it would have been a major hassle for some people.
