Facebook Gets Excessively Greedy for Excessively Personal Information
Filed under: 
ACEBOOK, the surveillance giant, is reaching new levels of creepiness. A friend of mine, who was apparently conformist enough to have ‘joined’ Facebook, sent me the screenshot above, translating it as follows:
“If you’re unable to verify your account using a mobile phone number, you can submit a request to verify your account using your government-issued ID.”
Q: “What happens to my ID after I upload it?” A: Your ID will be stored securely while we resolve your issue.”
“I’m sick of this spyware masquerading as social networking,” he wrote to me, so I asked him to show what happens if he clicks the option below.
Either way, notice just how much data Facebook is collecting and even demanding.
