I think Facebook is asking for too much

[Sunmoluvic]

Yesterday, I used tried using Jarvee to scrape data from Instagram, I logged in with my business Instagram account that I've been using for 4 years, the account got deactivated in just 2 minutes, I contacted Instagram and today I got a mail from Instagram (screenshot attached below), telling me to upload picture of my self with some other thing
This is the last thing I would the because I've never uploaded my picture on any social media before, except for one on my LinkedIn page.
When I saw this mail, it just feels like they really want to know who I am, but that won't work. I'll just move on with my second account.
And in addition, Instagram has really gotten better and complex

WTF is this. How can they ask for such things? Seriously Facebook.

It's strange, which is why I won't do it

At the end of the day is just another security method to stop bots. And a really annoying one it seems
If you wanna keep your long lasting account you can just really ask for a friend to do it for you.. They dont ask for your ID or anything so.

Wow.. Facebook wants to become the government. All they missing is a request to make a tax deposit to unlock your account.

Is it just me or does all this sound really sketchy? Is that mail really from Facebook? Check the e-mail address that appears when you click reply to.

Their AI will probably detect it and save the picture to Zuckerberg's own fap folder when they receive it.

Just grab a pic from one of the cardboard cutouts in the baseball stadiums these days, do a little photoshopping and you are the victor.

Lol, good idea

When I saw all those cardboard fans I thought what a great way to build profiles and not have your own face out there with the SM folks.

damn thats too much, hope in 4 years you didnt get fat and grow beard so they will find it hard to recognize you

That's right, I just like staying anonymous, plus Google doesn't even get my location right.
I would have uploaded my picture with the wrong name so they could save the picture thinking it's another person, but I already linked my Facebook account to the account, so they expect the name to be thesame

I wouldn't even do it, and they're AI is equipped with the ability to stimulate your face without beards by simple remove beards from your face to see what you look like without it, we've seen softwares like face app able to do that, Facebook own would even be better, they have billions of faces to simulate

The face would definitely be on their database. But I could use a face from thispersondoesnotexist.com and swap it with one of those
