I rarely enter my facebook account because I only created it to follow some sellers and well, I also added a few friends later.
Few days ago, I tried to enter my facebook account. I've always needed to write my email and password to enter.
But this time Facebook started to ask for my real name. I wrote my name and my first surname (in my country we have TWO surnames, dad's and mom's surname). They didn't validate what I wrote and blocked my facebook account because they thought I was lying or something...
The question is: why they even started to ask for my full name like if they were trying to verficate my true identity if I only used to write my email and pass to enter? The only reason I could came up with is that perhaps someone thought that I wasn't the real account owner (?) (I dunno but I'm aware that a lot of people report art submitted without permission around facebook because I've received a lot of notes about people telling me "hey, this dude submited on facebook your pictures without your permission")
OK, I received a facebook team's email today where they asked my national ID card photocopy, so I was like:
WTF???
I wrote them that I prefer my facebook account suspended before giving a photocopy of my real national ID card to a company that sells our personal data to certain companies that I don't support and even to some countries that I don't personally like at all (few of them are countries that live under "dictatorships", I already saw this on News several times). If you read their Terms and Conditions you can basically conclude that they have the right to do whatever they want with your photos and data (you supposedly agree with all this when you create your facebook account). They can earn money from your pictures and personal data without your permission whenever they want. I'm so glad I only had a profile photo and few fanarts, but NO photo about my friends, family, etc.
I'm aware that they have some basic data of mine like my name, email, country and birthday, but lol, c'mon our national ID card has our parents names, our address, our telephone, our real sign and a lot of numbers behind that I'm not gonna give to facebook... I prefer that account suspended before giving them a photocopy of my national ID card just to verify my identity, I mean, Who the hell are they? a bank? the police? or what's wrong here? Other websites have a lot of alternative ways/systems to verify that you are the real owner of your account XD
I don't know if they are going to open my account or not eventually, but if they don't do it, I don't care at all NEVER give to a social network company a photocopy of your NIF or TOO personal data because the fact that a social network company needs that kind of info says A LOT about it. We are controlled to a greater extent than we think...
What else can I add? pfff... Can I resign from the human race now?, I wish I could move to another planet X'D
wow, you easily destroyed my wish to finally enter facebook all my friends have been asking me to join, and actually I wanted to, but I knew I'd get addicted easily so I didn't create an account. But recently, I wondered whether I shoukd to it just to stay in contact with them. But thanks to you, I won't create an account there for... some more time ;D
I still don't want to join, but it seems to be the only way to stay in touch with my friends, who've all moved away :/ One of them even offered making one for me, but I refused ^^"
I hope you can somehow tell your fiance's (congrats!) family to not do that do you ...
Yeah. I am not trying to force ya. Just telling you that there are other ways to stay in touch with people. Just because Facebook makes it easier to do that, doesn't mean you can write emails, IM, text or write letters.
