When did Facebook decide it was ok to demand a scan of your driver's license? - eviltoast

I haven’t been on Facebook in something over a decade and received an email today saying that there was a request to reset my Facebook password. I decided to long into the account to delete it but the only option Facebook gave me to confirm my identity was to upload a scan of a photo ID. What insanity is that? I’m obviously not going to send them a copy of my dl. Is there any way to nuke my account without logging in or to log in without sending them any information they don’t already have?

      sorry friend… I quickly whipped it together in gimp, I believe, three computers ago :(

      However, one thing worth noting… I had to buy the old domain to some website I ran in college. It was her email address… and I needed a code to submit the ID. She got crazy locked out of the account due to VPN use. Anyway so I bought the domain, set up a back up email and then submitted the ID. Cost me nothing as I was able to refund the domain in time. But damn it was a lot of work… but I’ve been runnin that account for like 10 years.

      RIP lil homie :) (had to put her down recently but she was nearly 18 and well loved)
