It’s crazy how open the general population are on the internet.
Recently I tried to make a Facebook account with fake details just to get on marketplace since it seems to be the dominant platform these days. I almost had it done, then it said “ok prove you’re human. We will need a 360 degree video of your head”
Uhhh no.
What a big ask. What a slam dunk for their platform.
I have a very, very old Facebook account I created some 20 years ago, back when Facebook was new. I created it with a throwaway email address. I use it every so often to check Facebook pages of associations or organizations I’m interested in, and it has a totally BS profile complete with fake bio, fake photos of me and my fake family, and ultra boring life events I regularly add to to maintain a plausible fake persona, should someone ask me to justify that I’m a “real” person using an old bona-fide-looking Facebook account.
When I log in, it never asks me anything at all. I guess old accounts are exempt from Zuckerberg’s corporate surveillance hysteria - or more likely, Facebook forgot to upgrade them.
