Cancel your Facebook! Okay I know you probably won't but... 18

...out of nowhere they locked my account and require a scan of my government-issued ID to re-enable it. I don't even use the site for business purposes, I just like to instant message people and watch my ex-girlfriends get fat. Right now I consider myself mildly annoyed, but I know some people put a lot of their stuff on there: important photos of life events and that kind of thing, and for them this could be devastating. One day you may try to log in and all you'll see is this. I know it's been their published policy for a while but I always figured it was just some fine print to use against suspected criminals and malicious users. NOPE! Anyone can get popped. Facebook now wants more info about me than Paypal, which I use for actual financial transactions every week.
I'm using my small little platform here in the corner of the web to recommend that y'all go backup any important information from Facebook, and cancel your account. I'll be over on Google+ if you need me. https://plus.google.com/102728058429974797502/posts

I imagine it is just simply because you are high profile. I have not heard of anyone else having this problem. Sucks to hear man.

Never trusted Facebook.
It's the cia way of making us all spy on our selfs.
It's bland compared to MySpace. It took over instantly. Every company and politication has one immediately when it came out. They make a propaganda film about it that was terrible with a terrible actor, and it won every academy award ever.
They manipulated the stock market to give the founder/agent mark zuckerburg $1.2 billion on his 31st birthday, earlier this week.

I've got one but I still don't really get how G+ works, does it matter what category you add someone as (following, acquaintance, friend)?

Thanks man! Like I said I'm not really that mad, after all I've been using their service for free and they don't owe me anything. It just came as a shock and I know some people would be truly upset if this happened to them. I hate feeling like I can't do anything about a perceived injustice, so I made this post.
I'm so glad I have First World Problems.

What makes me paranoid of Facebook is facial recognition. It can recognize your face or friends in photos and ask if you want to tag them/yourself. That's pretty creepy for a big social site to have...

Nah the name of the "circles" doesn't really matter, they just let you control who gets to see different stuff you post. Like, I have a circle called "Shroomery" for people I know from the site but have never really met, and one called "Family" for people I'm legit related to. Also a "Friends" one for people I know in real life. As an example, if I was posting personal photos of a wedding or something, I'd probably only make them available to my "Family" circle and maybe my "Friends". If I'm posting about how hammered I got last night on illegal drugs, I'd probably make it visible just to "Shroomery".
Basically just permission controls under a different name. Hope to see you there!

Facebook is lame anyway. I erased my page a couple years ago, but I was thinking about starting a new one to keep in touch with people. Now I won't even bother if they are getting even creepier and even more Skynet.
I'm definitely not using Google+ as an alternative though, haha. I don't even like using Google as a search engine anymore, I just don't know any good alternatives that actually pull up good search results. Google doesn't need an ID because they already have your ass mapped out and have all your private gmail correspondence and the details about your life indexed already.

The thing is, facial recognition is pretty well documented and there are even free and open-source ways that programmers can integrate it in their products. But with Facebook it's just the tip of the iceberg...
BTW I'm not saying Google is necessarily much better from a privacy perspective, I'm just recommending the best of the limited options available.

I deleted my personal account years ago. I still have one with a fake name and no pictures but I literally only have bands added to follow when new tracks and videos get released and to check on tour dates & what not.
I would never give a scan of an ID to any website for any reason.

I just abandoned mine. Fuck that facebook. Why people use it instead of having real world interactions is beyond me. A buddy of mine made one for me after I told him I hate it and I think it's stupid and this and that. I don't need people knowing my personal life.

Meh, I like facebook still. If they asked me for a photo id scan I'd just make a new account, not rocket science folks. Most of my family live hundreds of miles away from me, and I don't care for talking on the phone unless I'm already drunk so facebook or texting are about my only options if I want to talk with my family and friends that live so far away.

I had one last year. Made and met hundreds of new friends all over the planet. I wish I woul've gotten their email addresses before Facebook banned me (someone reported my account for having a "fake" name).
Fuck facebook. Fuck the CIA ties inside facebook. They asked me to scan all my ID and send it to them... fuck that shit, especially when I don't know who I'm handing over my complete identity to.

Facebook is endlessly arrogant and lives up in everyone's biznass. I kicked that clunky piece of shit website more than couple years back. And like I need my mom and some side bitch I'm fucking and doing drugs with both listed together as my "friends".
The way Google+ works is better but fuck having Google in your shit. I wouldn't even consider signing up for that garbage.

Damn Ythan, that sucks.
I think they somehow managed to link you to be the Admin of Shroomery. Cause my GF uses Facebook (i dont) and she haasnt had this happen to her.
I know Facebook updates their software, which pisses off my GF to no end 
hope they dont find out about u being the master chief of Shroomery.
Stay safe Ythan

You probably got that message to confirm your identity because you were using a fake name. Apparently you can report profiles with fake names these days and now they're making you prove your identity. I'm sure they've had some cases of identity theft or whatever to justify their changes. I personally welcome seeing less "Cele$tine M@@nch!ld" named people out there lol.
But yea... plenty of other reasons to want to cancel FB too.

Shit, I just remade an account a few weeks ago actually. I had deleted it in 2011 and was able to get on with life fairly fine. Haven't really had too much action though in that time, so I figured maybe if I seemed less weird and got a fb it'd help 
...But idk i kinda want to get off it again though. So many things bother me about it. And it gives my anxiety.

I made an account "Term eschew" They deleted my account and banned my IP faster than I could look up more than one of my exes. My guise was to be a well dressed indian man in his 20's. I think Term might have been a little too radical.

I don't even use the site for business purposes, I just like to instant message people and watch my ex-girlfriends get fat. Right now I consider myself mildly annoyed, but I know some people put a lot of their stuff on there: important photos of life events and that kind of thing, and for them this could be devastating. One day you may try to log in and all you'll see is this. I know it's been their published policy for a while but I always figured it was just some fine print to use against suspected criminals and malicious users. NOPE! Anyone can get popped. Facebook now wants more info about me than Paypal, which I use for actual financial transactions every week.
I'm using my small little platform here in the corner of the web to recommend that y'all go backup any important information from Facebook, and cancel your account. I'll be over on Google+ if you need me. https://plus.google.com/102728058429974797502/posts
I heard this happening to a few people, you're probably rather interesting since you created the Shroomery (for which we all thank you).
Anyway, I discovered something even creepier about facebook. On my smartphone, the facebook messenger app secretly takes photos of me (secret selfies) which I discovered using software against malicious activity. This freaked me out and I have now destroyed the selfie cam (which is teh gey anyway).

Well Ythan all they want is your name, picture and birthday, which is all information you'd have on there already. I don't think it's THAT invasive, albeit a really stupid policy.
I countered this by never signing up for Facebook to begin with. My life is just fine without it.

I understand your confusion about me destroying the cam but still using the messenger app. I never use the selfie cam anyways, its so fucking stupid I think (I've also disabled the webcam on my computer). But I need to use the messenger app, everyone I need is on there.

Something else to think about:
A lot of sites and apps let you sign in through Facebook. If you usually do so, if deleting your FB account, how do you sign into those past app/sites?
My guess is you can't. Delete your Facebook account and no more Tinder for you.

Pretty simple really, you don't need that shit. Like on my mac running native safari I had google, yahoo and bing for native search engines - just last year they opened it up to duck duck go. If it doesn't reflect your ideology get rid of it.

That's actually a very, very good point. I hadn't even thought about it but I have used Facebook as an OpenID provider for a number of sites and now I'll be locked out of all those accounts. I tested to be sure (with stackoverflow.com) and as you said, when your Facebook account is suspended, they won't give you an authentication token. That's an interesting and troubling implication of the OpenID system that I hadn't considered in the past.
Luckily I'm tech-savvy enough to start my own OpenID provider for personal use, but who's going to bother with that kind of thing unless they're forced to? I guess the takeaway here is to use a site's built-in account creation system when it's an option, and try to stay away from the central authentication services offered by sites like Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and Twitter.
That sucks because OpenID is a pretty good concept, but you really have to trust your provider to authenticate you on demand. Now that I think about it, I don't and I shouldn't have.

Can't you not even delete your account, only deactivate it?

You can delete it completely. Of course Facebook will keep your data and shit for their own private purposes but it's still your best option. 3rd parties won't have access then without some kind of archival software that they're unlikely to bother using on you.

Not really, been around since at least 2011, that's when I killed mine.
Google search will easily find you a link. You have to wait 2 weeks and not log in during that time though, then it's gone and you can't get it back.

Are you using a fake name on Facebook? Because I've read articles where this happened to a bunch of Native Americans, for having names like "Running Bear" and shit like that. Facebook wouldn't reinstate their account until they provided photo ID.

Google and Facebook are completely separate publicly traded companies. I have accounts on tons of social media sites now, just quit for a few years when I got rehab'd.
They can have my ID and info if they want it. I honestly love Google.
