I haven’t been on Facebook in something over a decade and received an email today saying that there was a request to reset my Facebook password. I decided to long into the account to delete it but the only option Facebook gave me to confirm my identity was to upload a scan of a photo ID. What insanity is that? I’m obviously not going to send them a copy of my dl. Is there any way to nuke my account without logging in or to log in without sending them any information they don’t already have?

    Uh, so… I may run a Facebook account for my dog… I was asked for a driver’s license. I made a shitty id for her…like with her picture thinking ‘well, this is it… May as well have fun.’

    It was approved. Either the approver was like ‘fuck okay, bless you’ or it’s a shitty ai bot.

    Q: When did Facebook decide it was ok to demand a scan of your driver’s license? A: when people became stupid enough to scan their driver’s license and send it to a website

    Its a must by GDPR, its not facebooks fault. But at least you can delete your account because of GDPR.
