Hacker News Reader

I once had my account blocked and they requested a face and full details and I just entered a fake name plus the Google image results for the pictures they wanted (e.g. "my face" I just used the first Google result for the name of my congressman). They approved my submission and unblocked me immediately despite my account obviously being fake.

That is hilariously depressing

If a human is touching the process they are likely overworked, underpaid, and probably not in the US. If they are then they probably aren't paid enough to care as long as the check list their manager gave them is met.

I used a picture of Mark Zuckerberg. Sadly it didn't work.

He's probably block listed pictures of himself lol
