I only want to use it for facebook marketplace, but jeez i didnt know they were taking it this far with this crap…
I didn’t think people still opened new user accounts on facebook
More people gently creep into dementia every day.
I just pull a recent #selfie post from Twitter and upload it with metadata stripped
Doesn’t work. They ask you to use the camera and have you turn you head in different directions.
I thought they’ve always been doing it, I never succeeded creating a facebook account because of it
Weird. I’ve never had to do this. I also only use FB for marketplace
This information goes right to the US government.
Anyone who doesn’t think Facebook is an arm of the US government is naive at best.
Would you happen to have a source on this?
wdym? facebook automatically showed us it used facial recognition at least as far back as 2007 by asking us to click boxes on faces and subsequently asking us to label them… We really did all of the heavy lifting for them. -I got out while i could in ~2018
I never got in, and I stopped letting people take pictures of me so they couldn’t put me on there either.
I went to create an account a while ago. When I saw this, I was this close to sending them a picture of my dick and balls. But I thought myself better than these fucking creeps who insist on knowing how many wrinkles our ass has.
Thank you for the session. Same time tomorrow?
Should’ve sent them a picture of someone else’s dick for maximum confusion.
I assume Zuck has a partner but I don’t care enough about him to check. Gotta upload a totally legit ‘verification selfie’… an AI image of his partner with a dick. That’ll show him
Happened to me on twitter. They wanted to open the front camera and look at my face and estimate my age.
I just went to thispersondoesnotexist.com on PC and showed twitter that image. They accepted it.

Unfortunately it forced all existing users to submit as well, but we already gave it a bunch of photos of ourselves before the beast had revealed itself
No thanks, I’ll close my FB Marketplace account.
Facebook has new users?? In 2026??
Right? I ditched them almost a decade ago.
I see a lot of people saying “just don’t use it”. If it was that easy…
In some places, FB has took the lion share of the 2nd hand online selling. Historical platforms are in agony and your chance of finding a buyer/seller dramatically reduce if you avoid FB maretplace.
In some places, FB is so common that schools, activities etc. are organized on FB. You don’t have an account, no worry: you’ll be the lone idiot to drop your kid at school the day it’s closed because of a snow storm.
In some places, FB is the personal life blogging platform. So if you want to know about old friends you’ve left behind as you were relocating to different countries, you’re going to miss on some quite important events (death in the family, etc.) as that’s where they let people know.
In some places, if you want to build a network, that’s where “everyone” is. You like trekking and want to find a group for that? They’re all on FB. You want to play board games? Groups are all on FB.The list goes on and on.
Right, when you apply for jobs, they want socials and indeeds and this and that, when you meet people they want to add you on Facebook. These are “private” companies, but because they are natural monopolies, they essentially become quasi-required parts of being able to function normally within society.
The right way to deal with this is to regulate the fuck out of the natural monopolies, but rich elitists who own the government by proxy and big surveillance tech have this symbiotic relationship where big tech surveils and secretly data mines the public (to blacklist and exclude potential risks to the system and monitor those people) and so it won’t happen.
Republicans, hurt most by the blacklisting initially, were most likely to regulate big tech, ironically, but now money and ass-kissing of Republican leaders has changed the game and no one will fucking regulate them. All politicians who allow this to happen are either weak or whores, being paid to just perform a role of politician.
I’ve job hopped a lot, and literally no company has ever asked for my social media besides indeed, which I keep sterile clean. Actually, they’ve never even specifically asked for that either, that’s just where I’ve applied through.
Our industries may differ though.
Yeah. Don’t care. Won’t use it. It’s that easy.
Same for Instagram. Not doing something is easy.
after years of getting timeouts and jail for minor cussing, the robots perma-banned me with no explanation, just a link to community standards. was pretty tired of the endless bot/slop/spam in most groups. keep that self-clicking robot swarm. family has my number.
Fuck Facebook. Anyway, i prefer social media that doesn’t doxx me
