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

I’ve had that a few times on my accounts (I scrape content so they get suspended relatively often) and I always just grab a photo from thispersondoesnotexist.com and crop out the watermark. It hasn’t failed me yet.
can confirm this also works with google account
Do you have a good recommendation for when they ask for a photo ID? I read about OnlyFake, but its down and I can’t find an alternative.
Basically I want thisIDdoesnotexist
I know you can get ID deets here, but I don’t know any service that turns it into a facsimile of a state ID card.
Yeah basically that plus thispersondoesnotexist thrown into a Photoshop template rendered as a photo on a floor carpet with AI
Edit: I found https://verif.tools but some of them don’t look very good.
I’ve never had them ask for a photo ID so idk.
