This is literally why I left facebook almost 10 years ago. They locked me out and required I send them a photo of my ID. I said, "Y'all ain't the cops... imma not do that"
...but first I drew them an ID in crayon which they rejected, then one in acrylics, one in color pencil, one in pastels, etc, etc... My goal was to make one for each of the 50 states, but I only did like 5 before I got bored of sending them and having them rejected as not valid IDs.
Anyways, I'm not ever sending a social media company government issued IDs. Not gonna happen.

- polynomial 3y agoI would attend this art show and most likely buy one of the works if they were for sale. Only 45 more to go, send me the invite!
- Clent 3y agoAgreed. The only time I've submitted government ID online was for banking sites where it's only online sign up. I am OK with this because I understand this is a requirement set by the same government issuing the IDs with rules around how it can be used. Social media sites have no such requirement. They have no such rules around the collection of this information. They can do whatever they want with it once collected. Privacy policies aren't enough. They can shift on a whim.
- jasonfarnon 3y agoMust be some kind of local rules because I've signed up for accounts (BoA, Discover) and have never submitted a picture of myself (govt issued or not) to a company. For me the only one that hurt was AirBnB when they imposed the picture requirement. That was a useful service.
- beezlewax 3y agoDon't you have to always provide an id when you stay in a normal hotel?
