I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now.
- Give e-mail (ok)
- Give phone number (… eeh, ok)
- Use the new account for a while
- Account suspended, please upload selfie to continue (no thanks xi). There are also some verification promps where you have to record a video and rotate your face left to right
If this isn’t a message to move to indie web I don’t know what is

Yeah. I used to have fake facebook account because i got hooked on one of those mmorpg games. IDK what happened but something did and my account got suspended and FB requested me to upload my face and government ID. Yeah fuck that, uploaded some NSFW images and my account got deleted. Worth it.
I used a fake name on Facebook and one day I similarly got suspended asking for government ID. So I photoshopped some fake ID with the fake name, printed it, put it in a plastic sleeve and took a photo of that, and they accepted it.
Note that the people verifying that picture are not the people who set the policies or systems in place. You abused an innocent who’s just trying to earn some bread, you didn’t send NSFW materials to Zuck.
Are there actually people in the loop? Are you sure it’s not all bots? It’s not like they will communicate with you at all about your ban aside from template emails.
Not any of our problems; if you willfully work for Meta after everything that has come out about them, you’re a scab against the people and shouldn’t be regarded past that point. Fuck should I care about techbros who wouldn’t know solidarity if it popped out of a manhole and blew a new hole in their ass for?
WTF‽ They are trying to stay alive, not murder your parents!
Do you think they are well paid or something? If you have an income, they likely earn 100 times less or something.
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with users on some instances?
Still not my problem; my man you should not be talking about jobs and who holds 'em when Amerika is looking at a job shortage because of all the offshoring. I said what I said with my whole chest; if you work for them in any form, facility, or function, or uplift those who do, I consider you an opp
Ahahaha no there’s not! I work for a national company and we have hundreds of jobs we struggle to fill.
Even if you look at the data for manufacturing, the most infamously offshored sector there’s consistently more job openings than hirings
No one verifying images for meta is a techbro. That’s indonesian work.
I doubt those people even know they work for Meta. They probably work at an agency which does this for multiple services, not only Facebook and they probably have that job because they can’t get a better one. It isn’t even unheard of for this to be done by kidnapped people in captivity. Sending provoking material doesn’t do anything meaningful other than make those peoples’ day worse, and chances are it’s already pretty close to hell on earth.
I mean its not like i send some gore pictures or anything. The person on the end probably got some good chuckles about it. Eh, its harmless joke. You dont have to think about it too much.
Many years ago I had a Facebook account under my real name, and they blocked it and told me to verify … I did everything they asked and they wouldn’t accept it… I recreated it under a fake name (very obvious it’s fake since it uses a celeb name) and have been using it for messaging a couple of friends for like a decade now with no issue
