To confirm your identity…
Yeah, bullshit. This is to help train their facial recognition AI.

I mean, it’s a bit of both.

I don’t think they care if you’re real anymore

They care quite a bit.
Bots and spammers make for miserable revenue generators. If you don’t distinguish your marks from your players, there’s no way to make money at the poker table.

I would agree with this if Zuck hadn’t been in the news recently talking about how Meta is desperately filling their userbase with bots, on purpose

Can’t really be a bit of both because they can’t confirm shit if they don’t know what you look like in the first place. It could be to confirm that you are human (and maybe that you don’t already have an account) but they can’t confirm your “identity”.

Sadly they totally can. There are plenty of face databases already that they could use if they wanted, but if you have friends on Facebook you might be in their pictures and Facebook run it’s facial recognition on every picture. I remember over ten years ago getting notified that I could tag myself in friends uploaded pictures that I was in, which was also when I started to get really creeped out by Facebook.
