I only plan to use it for messaging in a couple of sports teams and event invitations.
I’m willing to take a lot of measures as long as they don’t get the account blocked - no phone app, dedicated virtual machine+VPN to isolate from other internet activity, purchased fake phone number in signup, adding fake interests and life details. However, I won’t provide any real ID/photos, are these needed for signup?
Not sure about Facebook, but Instagram will definitely ask you for a selfie if you sign-up using a VPN.
I didn’t know about this. That’s kind of disgusting.
If this is the case for FB, I can try a public WiFi for signup and hopefully it won’t bother me if I switch to a VPN after (it will already be obvious which city I live in from the people and events I interact with, the VPN would just be for a small extra layer of isolation)
I assume fake AI-gen faces won’t work?
Norman Reedus will do it
