I needed a temporary Facebook account recently. I put a fake but plausible name and I did what I had to do. That account was blocked in no less than 20min, asking for my ID and my phone number.
I’m pretty sure that Facebook is unofficially « closed » for new « non verified » accounts.
And that’s not even surprising : literally everybody was on Facebook a decade ago, it’s definitely not the social network of the younger generation, and nobody who had the occasion to register 10 years ago is going to change its mind today. So the vast majority of new registrations must be spam bots.
New service: subscription identity - buy a real identity of a real person from some poor country and use it for yourself in the glorious developed world.
Official government issued ID, passport, photos, video verification available for a fee.
Does the uniqueness criterion prevent it from being useful to people who wanr to create multiple, independent accounts as is being discussed in this thread?
