All I ever hear about Facebook any more is just its marketplace. It's gotten to the point where I might make an account just so I can easily sell stuff locally.
They said my listing was suspicious and needed to verify my identity, which meant sending them a picture of me holding my drivers license next to my face.
I had a lot of other stuff to sell, so I obliged.
They said that wasn’t enough and they required another photo, this time holding my passport by my head.
I thought this was pretty crazy, but also, I had a lot of stuff to sell, and privacy is pretty much already dead so why not?
They said they could not verify my identity.
The end.
It was simple, easy, and reliable.
I do keep up with some friends on Facebook but I’m very selective about adding anyone new.
I'm part of a bunch of book collector groups because it's pretty much the only place on the internet to connect with other people around the world about it.
