I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.
However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.
Pretty sure Instagram also requires something similar in some cases. I tried to make an account recently to see an artist’s full postings and it eventually asked me to verify I am a human by submitting a selfie picture. Abso-fucking not. It did “promise” they would delete it within 30 days…

Instagram is also owned by Meta… so I’m not sure why there’s any surprise there.
Next up, WhatsApp will probably require a full contact sync or something lol.
Yeah instagram do that too get an account back after they lock it even though you have the password etc but haven’t signed in for to long.
They then compare that to photos of you on your account.
My problem is I have 1 photo of me on the account from years ago and the rest are landscape stuff so despite having all the information I can’t access my account
Just submit a tree
What would they even compare the picture to…
I am fairly certain it hasn’t got anything to do with “confirming you’re a human”. and probably with getting more data into their pipeline for AI training…among other things that they do. like sell your shit to a 3rd party
