> They even had me send a selfie of myself So they could compare it with what, the content posted?

  They want to collect name:face mappings. I've had the same issue with IG but haven't got around to posting the selfie.

    DO NOT post the selfie. It is a trap. Read my suggestions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37254898 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37254898

  I think they just wanted to see that I was a real human. They had me hold up a sign with a code written on it. The only thing I thought of was that they might compare it to my profile pic? But it makes little sense as many people have something abstract as their PFP, or a photo of their cat.

    Nice try. What stops anyone from going to Madame Tussauds and posting a selfie of Frank Sinatra holding up a code? Or paying a street performer to do it. Because that would be my first thought, how to screw these sociopaths.
