I “lost” my old FB account because they demanded my ID to verify my legal name, near 11 years ago. I fucking refuse, and will always refuse.
Fuck Zucc.

[Users] who believe they have been wrongly categorised as under 16 can ask for a review and submit a “video selfie” to verify their age. They can also provide a driver’s licence or a government-issued identification.
Because uploading your image and ID to Meta isn’t a security risk at all, oh no.
Why are governments helping Meta and friends harvest their citizens’ data? Evil or clueness?

I changed to a plausible sounding name and it worked. I prepared a doctored passport image but it wasn’t necessary.
For another, The FB account they wanted me to get at least two user friends to verify they know me or some bs like that. I didn’t butter. Years later I was able to log into that one anyhow.
They know that they can’t push too hard.

All nations are following North Korea’s lead. NK is a testing ground to see what other rulers can get away with.

That’s just silly. Can you provide evidence to this? Or is it just feefees

Evil, since they probably have backdoors into all of those systems. Though I’m not sure why they want a bunch of videos of 16 year olds…

It’s hilarious how little the qtards are up in arms about literal evidence of a deep state pedophile cabal, but some emails that were entirely innocuous outside of the melted brain goo leaking from their ears.
Well, not ‘haha’ hilarious, more ‘existential crisis caused by countrymen with IQs lower than freezer temp’ hilarious.

Surveillance capitalism just wants to completely destroy all anonymity for data harvesting, propaganda, and control purposes.
…
Considering Epstein didn’t kill himself, and literally none of his hundreds/thousands of oligarch-customers have faced any consequences, this pedelephant in the room could very well be what chat control, photo scanning, etc is actually all about.
Parent takes photo of their baby/child in the rudey nudey > custom pedo-developed algorithm flags it as potential child porn > sends image/vid to gov server for “verification” > data gets “hacked” by pedos.
Same system could easily be adapted to stealing everyones private sex pics/vids, as the entire idea is that it’s performed by closed source applications in the background, without the user ever being aware.
And with the way CSAM works, governments could easily insert hashes of ANY files — say a whistleblower steals the un-redacted Epstein files — so OS’s/services would identify everyone who had downloaded that file(s), sending the alarm straight to the secret police’s surveillance system; maybe they could be silenced before they’ve had a chance to tell anyone.
