I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.
However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.
ofc not to train ai
Looks like we found a good use case for facial generative ai

They are keeping it to be able to sell it to other agencies, who will then use it to open your face-locks.
Privacy Policy doesn’t matter when someone claims bankruptcy.
Different angles makes me thinking they’re using it for ai training
100% they are. Why wouldn’t they?

This is not really the invasion of privacy it seems when you compare it to everything else facebook will do with your information.
That doesn’t make this any better, just makes YOU feel better about it
I think it’s a good way to remind you right up front when you sign up that this is what you’re signing up for. Honestly if last week I had been asked to choose between a world in which facebook makes its invasiveness painfully clear at signup vs keeps it low-key, I would choose the former.
I feel bad about everything.
I needed to make an account recently, if you make it via a proper computer you get this and it sends it as an “appeal”… Which means they werent clever enough to separate new account creation from actual appeals. So of course what happens is it goes to some call center in some poor part of the world where they’re not smart enough to know the difference or dont care, they hit deny and you get perma banned.
This is not the same if you sign up via an app, which is amazingly stupid but whatever.
Ironically i learned about this by watching youtube videos for scammers on how to make fake facebook accounts.
Of course i immediately uninstalled the app, because i dont want that cancer on my phone.
I left Facebook in 2009 or 2010 or so, but I attempted to register a facebook account for my business over the weekend. I can confirm, it wanted a selfie of my business. Wasn’t sure what to do with that, so I still don’t have a facebook account for my business.
Leaving in 2010 was a great choice. I feel like I stayed on way too long only getting rid of it in 2020.
It was the “baby - sandwich - dog” era. Super easy decision at the time 😁
Oh HELL no
Would signing up with a PC instead of the mobile app solve that? A lot of PC’s don’t have webcams.
This might help, I made my last account a few months back and only had to provide a selfie photo (which I got from here)
Lol genius!
Let them continue filling the site with bots. Dont use that garbage.
Is there a good 2nd hand market beside FB now? We are buying our first house and will be needing some stuff once we move in. My account is long gone and my wife’s is deactivated, close to closing it out. We have some good antique and thrifts around us, but my SIL gets killer deals on FB market.
Depending on where you live you always got something eg: craigslist or whatever.
for us it’s craigslist
some areas have active nextdoor.com marketplaces, but you have to prove your residence by receiving a code in the mail.
or alternatively, if you explicitly want to buy something from woman: girlnextdoor.com
What’s next? Fingerprints? Criminal record? DNA? Retina scans? It’s like people are joining CIA and not a social media site
If Futurama is to be trusted, one of the upcoming technologies in biometric data will be “colonic maps.” No doubt, Facebook would anally probe us all if they could.
That episode popped into my head, too.
Here’s a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSZJhczSQ6M
Yeah they can kiss my ass. Video selfie. Fuck that.
The dickvid potential is there.
I quit facebook 10 years ago. I am 67. If this old fart can quit so can you.
Don’t make it easier for the american fascist government to identify you even further on Facebook.
Fb is nothing more than promoting right wing propaganda.
I am now, and will forever remain, a child of the old internet.
When your username was all that other people knew about you, and you didnt even like them having that for anonymity reasons, lol.
I continue to be baffled about how people on the internet went from “Don’t tell anyone, anything about you!” to "Hi My name is Dan Rutherford, I like at 5849 Blasse Rd, in Tarry Birch,Kenfucky. Heres a picture of myself, my wife, my children, and a list of everything expensive I have in the house. Also my childs bedroom window wont lock. Anyway, we’re going on a 3 week european vacation now! Expect hourly updates!
PS: Heres my birthday, and my childhood elementary school, where I was born, and the name of my childhood dog. In case anyone needs to answer my security questions"
