[Users] who believe they have been wrongly categorised as under 16 can ask for a review and submit a "video selfie" to verify their age. They can also provide a driver's licence or a government-issued identification.

Because uploading your image and ID to Meta isn't a security risk at all, oh no.

Why are governments helping Meta and friends harvest their citizens' data? Evil or clueness?

I "lost" my old FB account because they demanded my ID to verify my legal name, near 11 years ago. I fucking refuse, and will always refuse.

Fuck Zucc.

What do you use instead for online social groups? Do you ever hit a group or business that's only on Meta apps, whether fakebook or whatsapp?
