In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”
Facebook won’t let me login to delete mine unless I send them a photo of my drivers license. Not gonna happen.
Happened to me. Had a fake profile to test some apps and when they asked for an ID, I literally sent a pic of my MIDDLE FINGER. They accepted.
Did you make sure to remove the EXIF metadata? It would be ironic if it has the image location coordinates in it.
They can get your location to various degrees of precision just from your IP address.
200 iq move by facebook, now they have the biometric reading from the nail on your middle finger
Seriously? I’ve never even given it an email I use, let alone phone number, where do they get off asking for ID?
He may also be an admin of a Facebook page. I was an admin for my job’s (an absolutely important to no one but our community company) page, and Facebook suddenly decided one day that I was a ‘high value person of interest’ , which made me a possible hacking target. The wanted all kinds of personal info, including a copy of my ID, to prove I wasn’t some hacker, or they would disable all my access. Fuck no I’m not giving you that, go ahead and disable me
Same thing was happening to me, tried again after a couple of days and it just logged in without asking anything 🤷♂️
Same here. I didn’t sign in for a few years, and next time I did, they demanded my drivers license. Why would I possibly send my ID to this shitty website? They way overestimate their importance.
