  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Not wanting to give Facebook my driver's license is why I haven't logged in for over 5 years.

Yes. Fuck Facebook

Sometime around 2010 or 2011, I created a second and completely separate account with my work email address because I needed a developer account for work related tasks and I did not want to use my personal Facebook account for it. Within 24 hours the new work related account was removed and my personal account was suspended for 30 days for breaking Facebook's terms (no duplicate accounts).

I stopped using Facebook for awhile, but decided to give it a try again (FOMO) a year or few later. Tried logging in, and they pulled this "send us state issued ID" crap, and I haven't been back since.

On the other hand, my dad creates a new Facebook account every time he gets a new device. He even uses multiple different accounts at the same time. He's never been forced to provide them with a copy of his ID nor has he ever been suspended for using/having multiple accounts.

Seems like they're super arbitrary with the rules and although I'm better off without Facebook, it's mildly annoying.

If I were to guess, your dad uses mobile devices with an app and you used a web browser? We're second class citizens now for not using the corporate-approved tracking device

He uses apps for sure on his phones, but he also has creates and uses separate accounts on his laptops over the years.
