I haven’t been on Facebook in something over a decade and received an email today saying that there was a request to reset my Facebook password. I decided to long into the account to delete it but the only option Facebook gave me to confirm my identity was to upload a scan of a photo ID. What insanity is that? I’m obviously not going to send them a copy of my dl. Is there any way to nuke my account without logging in or to log in without sending them any information they don’t already have?

Its a must by GDPR, its not facebooks fault. But at least you can delete your account because of GDPR.
It’s not a must by GDPR, but it allows companies to ask for ID when needed.
