Ive rawdogged it with my real name, and a bare email (no alias), no vpn, bone stock chrome, and they still need a video selfie from me. im not comfortable with that (though i might cave eventually, i need to look at cheap shitboxes, dont know of any oother sites like that)
thanks all
video selfie
Wtf
I’ve had two cases where phishers have tried to create an account to impersonate my aunt. My guess this is an attempt to curtail these phishing schemes.
A photo of my balls would help in that case too but it doesn’t men I want to give it to them.
There are options for additional checks they could explore that are less creepy.
In the meantime I think knowing the password should at least get you logged in enough for account maintenance. You should be able to set the entire account private and take it offline with limited toggles. Restoring full access would require the additional verification.
Instagram wanted that to re-activate my account after they froze it due to “inactivity” because I hadn’t logged into it in a couple of months.
I noped out and abandoned it (because I couldn’t even delete it without first going through the privacy invision to reactivate it and login…)
That reminds me: I need to delete my Facebook account.
Don’t forget to change all your personal details and pictures first.
They may never delete anything, but as long as they think you take them seriously, they have to accept change.
Don’t! It’s fucking worthless.
Run, run far away and forget you ever heard of fb!!
The more this invasive behavior becomes the norm, the worse off ALL of us will be.
This is the truth right here
Video selfie… Lol :) People who agree to this must be desperate to use Facebook.
make a list of everyone that you would want to keep in touch with on facebook. then keep in touch with them directly.
He only wants it for marketplace. I can sympathise, that’s where all the really good awful car deals are, and cheap tools that I don’t need, but really want
Anybody serious about something isn’t gonna put it on Facebook.
I keep being told it’s where all the classifieds went. Where else do you buy and sell household stuff that may still have value?
Holy shit are you serious? You require a selfie now? So glad I blew that shit away when it was still possible aeons ago…
It sounds like you know but you don’t want to do it.
Make a video selfie but wear a mask or use a filter to obscure your true face. Maybe use AI, but be sure to strip the metadata.
Go down to the FB headquarters and give then your pinky finger.
This actually made me LOL
New rules stipulate the butthole must be visible for your privacy and security.
don’t. use local classifieds like kijiji
What are shitboxes?
Inexpensive cars
Just give up. It is not worth it, anyway.
Haha that reminds me: I tried to create a blizzard account to play wow classic and they wanted me to complete a 20 step captcha that would have taken 15 minutes or so to complete. Utter madness

I haven’t had Facebook in years, but I’ll admit the marketplace is pretty damn good for finding secondhand deals. Luckily (unluckily) my wife doesn’t give two shits about being spied on so I browse it from her phone

Marketplace was fantastic for buying and selling all sorts of stuff for years, but it is now plagued with fake listings and scams and all kinds of undesirable shit now. The scammers seem to have no problem whatsoever cranking out new accounts on the regular, and Facebook doesn’t seem to give a shit. Any time I report any of the scam listings I get a response from FB about 3 weeks later saying they did nothing wrong, so they took no action. Fuck Facebook.
