Facebook asking locked out users to provide Government ID
If you have opened Twitter today you may have noticed an increase in messages reporting that the social media site Facebook was asking them to provide a Government ID to unlock their account on the site.
The message that users received during log in to their Facebook account states the following: "For security reasons your account is temporarily locked. If this account reflects your real name and personal information, please help us verify it".
The user who has been temporarily locked out of the account is then asked to provide a government ID for verification.
Facebook itself has not published a public comment yet and it is unclear if the company will address the issue at all.
Facebook Government ID
Facebook's Help page provides further information about the practice:
If you can't verify your account using your mobile number, you'll need to provide a copy of your photo ID. This could be a scanned copy or a close-up photo you've taken.
Upload a photo ID
How to upload your ID
- Optional: Cover up any confidential information (ex: license or passport number)
- Scan or take a picture of your ID with your digital camera
- Make sure you can clearly see your name, birthday and photo
- Save the photo to your desktop
- Click the button below and follow the instructions to upload your ID
This is my government issued ID. I understand I won't get help with my account if I haven't uploaded a valid ID.
The very same page lists the types of IDs that Facebook accepts:
- Birth certificate
- Driver's license
- Passport
- Marriage certificate
- Official Name change paperwork
- Personal or vehicle insurance card
- Non-driver's government ID
- Green card, residence permit or immigration papers
- Social Security Card
- Voter ID Card
In addition, Facebook will also accept any of the two following items that must show the name and date of birth of the locked out Facebook user.
- Bank statement
- Bus card
- Check
- Credit Card
- Employment verification
- Library card
- Magazine subscription stub
- Medical record
- Membership IDs
- Paycheck stub
- Permit
- School card
- School record
- Utility bill
- Yearbook photo
The company notes that data that has been uploaded to Facebook as part of the verification process will be deleted after the verification.
The mass lock-out of users is not the first on Facebook. The most recent lock-out that requested users to provide Facebook with IDs to unlock the account again happened in January of this year. The company back then stated that it may ask users for photo IDs depending on the violation that occurred.
Common violations where this may be the case are accounts where either the name or birth date do not match or exist at all (for instance if a nickname is being used), and maybe also at times to verify account ownership after a hacking attempt.
The only two options that locked out Facebook users have is to either comply with the request and transfer a picture of a photo ID to Facebook, or stop using the site altogether.

What if we slapped them a major petition through Change.org on this ridiculous method of Facebook? I’m sure i didn’t sign and agree over their newer f*d up policies to have my account locked. It was damned square unfair for FB to rely on AI to decide who gets locked and who doesn’t when it was their own f*n’ screwed system that locked my account.
I’ll tell you my pretty f*d up story, you won’t believe but it sure as hel true.
First, i hated the ads. Especially the ads that targeted users based on the info they did and DID NOT PROVIDE as for public information.
My settings in FB was pricely clear as already provided by them: Most of the info i provided was personal and made private only my own viewing or unless i chose who could see them from my profile.
HOWEVER, FB still allowed my private info of my birth year to be leaked to ad providers to still show me ads based on their targeted market age range i was in. I never asked nor solicited for such ads. I provided them to almost nothing of any useful info they could use to show me ads. Howsoever, they pushed it against my will to leak some of my private data for ads onto me.
SO, what i did next was to change my age from the settings feature that was already provided by FB for me. You could simply change your age in the settings. Yes, you can.
What they don’t tell you from it, is of their crazy ass bug that allows you to do so (even after you’ve provided the basic details in the first time of your registration of account with them.) and then screw you when you refuse to allow a logical value of age for them to use. What i mean to say is, the FB settings actually allows you to change your age to 0 years old ! But when you do, it almost immediately locks your account when you enter to save it into your profile.That would actually refuse any logic given for FB to leak your age data for the ad providers’ targeted users obviously. That was my first attempt to screw those ad providers completely where FB did actually allow it done by users.
It was that mistake that locked my account. It wasn’t my fault, was it? They pushed it too far.
Then came the verification bit to unlock the account. Seriously, no human being there work with their system to understand the simple logic that played there. FB uses AI or create sets of instructions by program languages to judge what’s right and what’s not, done by users. They also use AI to learn users’ machines. To mine their data whenever they’re logged in. FB does not provide their company addresses nor any direct phone numbers of theirs for any users to contact them directly anywhere in their site. You could try and find it anyway you can but only unless you had connections with your gov depts or obtained news of their office openings in your area, you could obtain their direct office address AT LEAST! Otherwise, your help through them will only be by your finger typings on their search button for help and what results you get from that are just presets of what they have only provided to you in the list and that is all the help you could get from them there.
Too darned shady aren’t they?
They’ve locked not just my account but my memories, my personal info, my media uploads, my friend connections, my messages, my details of possible passwords used (although they could just hearsay they won’t use the data we gave them for other parties, when they already did the absolute opposite of their own policy for users.) my affliance and ownership of groups, pages and clubs and many more in there.
They stole it all from me… but i created another profile to keep control of a group i had to maintain for the sake of offering others job opportunities. Only difference, i made it f*n’ clear to FB that my activities there will limit them so much chance from offering any sort of ads pushed onto me. And that included from any further timeline posts other than for my 1 stern statement against FB’s act. The only thing i had more control against FB this time is just by maintaining that 1 group and that my members had to agree to never post any sort of ads in there and i had to shut off friend requests and limit to only a very finger full of friends i needed to stay in contact with from afar. Any ads that came to me will be eliminated by being reported that it was wrong by any reason i gave it was, no matter if it really wasn’t wrong for them to show me sponsored ads. My settings in depth killed everything that could make me a target of ads in FB with that possible few that is forced as unremovable by FB. It wasn’t for me to download anytg additional to aid me remove ads in my FB because they too played their role as ad providers in disguise!
That is how stern i look upon them as I am dead serious to make FB suffer for what they did and how they changed to being those f*n’ monsters of the internet after placing that trust onto them initially.
Good thing I deactivated my FB account 3 weeks ago. I also deactivated my Twitter. The bigger picture with these companies is getting clearer and clearer by the day.
You’re not safe, you’re no longer private, your opinions do not matter and nothing you have belongs to you. When all the pieces are in place, they will get you whenever they feel like it, and you will have no choice but to give in.
Look likes my Facebook account was locked…. ????? RIP… my account…
Faceless book has once again locked me out ,due to suspicious activity they call it .l still have messanger .l have sent numerous ID pics to them an No reply.
I guess this is the way the world will end trying to fight with a company computer that has no morals.
I have been silenced on Facebook beforehand for quotes such as ..women are just as evil as men …l copped a 30 day hate speech ban ,now they have held my account hostage after many hours getting friends an many pages for social networking.
I think Facebook is a joke they follow you on other sites,collect info about you an every thing that you write down .Thanks faceless Facebook your a perfectionist at being a parasite…
This is what i sent Facebook as a response, after i sent them My government ID,issued by the DOD.
The ID includes, My Signature, My Picture,my DOB, SSN, Date of issue, and I believe a fingerprint scan. I have been on Facebook for 9 yrs as an advocate against AUTHORITY ABUSE AND HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL THOUSAND POSTS………. None of these things matter to AI.. You cannot reason with a robot… my response to them got me NOTHING but the same message over and over..
I have sent you the same ID I have always used and has always been accepted, You are just being mean now. It is the same ID I use for everything, including government buildings, airlines, and secure sites. I AM OLD AND DISABLED, I CANNOT JUST RUN OUT AND GET THE KIND OF id you want, whatever that might be. The ID was issued to me by the Department of Defense WHEN I BECAME DISABLED, It HAS MY SIGNATURE my picture ,my DOB my SSN AND MY FINGERPRINTS.. My god man what more can u possibly want?
There was more i chose not to put here, but you get the point. This company has changed for the worse in my 9 yrs here, Their PARANOIA is creating huge issues for all its users, BUT AS LONG AS THEIR STOCK KEEPS RISING, they will not show an ounce of concern for you or I OR anyone else! His, {Mark Z} 250 Billion tells him he doesn’t HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF..
I am afraid it is going to take a CLASS ACTION
I got disabled after posting in help community for the first time. FB won’t let me use the disabled form. They want phone and one single photo. It won’t let me upload the other photos they allow on the ID verification list. Even schools let you use preferred names. I submitted a photo but not my government ID.
Sir,Your security system has mistakenly removed my account without any reason. I can prove it. I am sending my ID card details to verify that I am the real person and not using anyone’s identity. I think this information is enough for reactivating my account.
Now please reactivate it as soon as possible.Thanks for your help.
no way am I going to give a private company my personal identification not knowing how the information is to be used.
I am currently locked out of my Facebook account and can’t upload my ID with the screen they provide
To asd >Strange, I told them the same thing last night in a reply email.
Facebook, you already know who I am, and that I am actually me, OTHERWISE YOU WOULD NOT CONTACT ME BY EMAIL. I mean if you thought for one second that I AM NOT WHO I SAY I AM, why would you send an email EXPLAINING WHAT YOU WANT TO A POSSIBLE FRAUD?
Saying that to their robots however means nothing, Can’t reason with Artificial Intelligence!
I just got locked out for no valid reason and Facebook demands my government ID.
This is ridiculous, because they can verify me by email which is PGP encrypted between me and facebook! How much more verification do they want?!
There is no way in hell that I am going to give them my ID. so good riddance…
I also just now discovered, there is no way to contact Facebook about this, and rightly so, since we are the product, not customers to Facebook.
I have just been locked out of my account without any notice and been asked for proof of ID with a photocopy of a document such as a driving license which I am not going to provide for reasons of security.
As this has always been a useful method of contact with friends and family I am very disappointed with the attitude adopted by these people but I will not be providing any type of id as my account was hacked last year and the hacker demanded a few thousand dollars in bitcoin to get it back. My partner set up a new FB account for me but now it has again been cancelled for no apparent reason.
We should know,once fb will fully disable our fb acc if it once ask for identity documents. mine is. i would tell ppl stop use facebook. the staff can casual sudden just immediatelylock u out n ask identity cards esp if u remarkable gorgeous
Just wanted to comment to say that this shit is still happening. I was using a pseudonym because it’s the name I use for gaming, and the page was used primarily to keep in touch with other gamers who only know the pseudonym. I wasn’t harming anyone. I wasn’t impersonating anyone. I wasn’t trolling/bullying. Yet, late last month, I was required to submit government issued identification to unlock my account. Obviously, I can’t submit identification with a name that isn’t my legal name on it, nor do I feel I should. So I didn’t. I was given ZERO chance to make copies of my photos I had on the account (secondary purpose of the account was photo storage, as devices die/are lost/are stolen/need factory resets). Several of the subjects of the photos are now deceased, which of course makes getting replacements bloody well impossible. I researched, and it’s real. Facebook actually does this. I made my account before any “real name” requirement, BTW. I was never advised of the change. I’ve lost contact with several friends now, in addition to the irreplaceable photographs. Attempts to contact someone, ANYONE, so I can have maybe 24 hours of access in order to make my friends aware of the situation and obtain my photos are ignored or answered with the most unhelpful robot drivel I’ve ever seen. This should be, but is not, illegal!
When I was locked out trying to update my new email address, I had a full stop at the request to send my photo ID to prove I was the owner of the account. They would destroy it after a month. Saw another box with the word “browse “, which I clicked on and my Microsoft Word document file opened with my recent reports developed for my tax accountants listing balances in IRA accounts and so much more personal information. WTF. What are they doing….? How can they take over my computer and data files?
Now we should all get together and give Zuckerberg and his dictatorial regime a lawsuit for selling our personal data
I was even forced to send my citizen card and that didn’t solve my problem
I want proof my personal data was destroyed!
Right. I’m down for a lawsuit. Just like the sidewalk in front of my house. Public property, that I must maintain. Fb is the same. I can’t keep anyone off the sidewalk, neither does fb have the right either. They just have to shovel the snow and accept all users.
hi, every one.
I just get my FB id back, not submit any of my IDs, what you or any others with this same experience ?
Only change is that the FB machine ask me use an changed ” NAME” ,I USE John de Jesus instead of JohninHim…
Anyway ,I am happy to meet with old friends again.
I opened My facebook account , but was not allowed in, because My user name is The same i have used this last thirteen years) is suddenly not a “real name”.
No way am i going to send anyone My passport, license, or any other government document, the only people that should be allowed this information on demand are the respective authorities dealing within a specific set of guidelines, and it was NEVER supposed to be uploaded by way of picture to anyone outside of such authority with the right to demand such document.
I will not bend to the will of the demand, because i feel it is an unsafe practice to provide such information to anyone who demands it, for their “free” service, if personal information is the new price of “free” in today’s Facebook.
I will pursue the use of other platforms , there are still some decent ones out there, say,” ‘Ello”, for instance that allow a person to promote an online identity, follow the rules of the social media as set out by the participants.
I wouldn’t send the guys that sold Russia ads a pittance of information about my personal numerical associations, and physical address that should only be privy to the relevant people in question. facebook is only as relevant as people allow it to be- and so, say Bye, Mark Zuckerburg, You just permenantly lost a statistic to send You clickbait ads to .
I broke no rules,, and will miss My friends. But really, that is a raw deal and i was mislead about the freedom of speech when FaceBook now demands one minute that they need verifiable information and is in the process of getting drug through a congressional investigation for facilitating the Russian fiasco regarding the Presidential Campaign now wanting My personal information. No Thanks, Mark.
FB=FUCKJOKE, We all hate him here on this pages, only except a few of his guy.
can i provide Pan card to confirm i.e Permanent account number issued by income tax dept govt of india? Can we provide two cards ?
Facebook suspended my account for pretending to be someone else.
I had no photo ID at the time so uploaded three bits of mail, which they would not accept, next I sent my Birth Certificate they still would not give back my account! when I received my new photo driving licence in the mail I thought this would be the end of it and I would get my account back! However, on sending it to them they replied back to me saying someone else had provided the same documents to them and they now required another different government issued photo ID!!!
I refused and I am still locked out of my account.
Having read some of these stories I am now worried…
I would also donate to any legal case against Facebook!
some one come out to start this case against Fuckjoke.
I have posted no lies. Hoaxes and hackings have been done against Facebook and their users in the past. I have done my research. Snopes is a reputable site that investigates false news and hoaxes online. I am aware that FB has been actually closing people’s accounts simply because they can. JohninHim claims there are no running legal cases against FB. You have not checked anything online. That’s obvious. Take a look at the following links. Try using a search engine and learn more.

It seems that FB is in quite a lot of legal trouble. My own contract lawyer told me some years ago that EULAs do not hold up in court. They cannot break any law either. FB cannot force you to have your case heard in California, for example. Please READ the articles at the above links, and not just churn out the usual negative rhetoric. Thank you.
@Larry Stevenson,
Thanks for your details…
1. Please send me your government ID ,before you continue correspond with me…you hv 6 days to submit, if you qualified, I will continue this discuss with you…. lol, Is it a Joke for you ?
That is what FB has done to us, here most of the users.
I am not claim that you are lying here, but only target on FB. But if you are part of FB, that is another case.
2.Facebook has done this to me, its user since almost its beginning, and asked my real ID and blocked my account there.
If you say FB is not asking us to provide our government IDs, then whom is behind all of this ? why FB cannot fix it, AND just let it continues for almost 4 or 5 years like this ?
You or FB claim that FB is also an victim of hoax, or hacking, are you doubt your IQ or all of the users‘ here ?
3.Whatever other legal case or hoax against FB, is not my concern now, but the ID request issue.
FB is negative rhetoric media now, and running by Jihad and commie inside. That is my negative .
I am prepared to participate any legal actions in this ID issue with FB.

Does anyone know of a class action lawsuitagainst Facebook? or any information on petition that are current? They have closed me and my children’s Facebook even though we supplied IDs and anytime we try to open one it’s like they banned Are I.p address. friends that come and use our Wi-Fi have gotten their account band as well. I had a group for 7 years with over a hundred and fifty thousand numbers and they closed it with no good reason. They said there was things posted that did not pass Community standards but did not show what they were and just deleted it. I was devastated. But they can delete something like that with no reason or showing proof. Please help me this is unfair. My group Ment everything to me. email me any info. Thanks
Hoax or not,. this is the Facebook request , or the fuckjoke has been occupied by some of the hackers or inside criminals .
The whole thing about Facebook requiring ID is a HOAX. Check it out at Snopes.com
http://www.snopes.com/computer/facebook/facebookid.asp
Most likely it’s a phishing attempt for identity theft. It’s also likely your account has been hacked which is why they can send you emails about it. I decided to quit FB after reading about the scams on it here: http://www.thatsnonsense.com/category/facebook/
and “Nads” problems here: https://www.wired.com/2015/06/facebook-real-name-policy-problems/
Quit them, and tell your friends to quit. There are alternatives: http://www.adweek.com/digital/albizu-garcia-gain-guest-post-tired-of-facebook-here-are-6-up-and-coming-alternatives/
The best revenge against FB would be to put them out of business. Playing the remote, faceless corporation won’t cut it anymore!
You do realize that Facebook itself is PROUD of the fact it is made up of hackers? Their address is One Hacker Way in “Menlo, California.”
I recieved the same notice. I refuse to comply.
Yes, this stinks of a phishing attack!
I refuse to send them ID of any sort OR my phone number. Their policies do not suit me at all. I refuse to use my “real name” especially associated with an ID of any kind online, it only makes good sense.
I have followed the rules: ‘When you put information on the internet do not use your real name, your real date of birth.
‘When you are putting information on social networking sites don’t put real combinations of information, because it can be used against you.’..
for many years.
ALL Facebook users should follow those two simple rules and not give the site real names OR any sort of usable telephone number or address!
I used FB to invest in my business through ads but now my account was currently blocked for no apparent reason. I’ve paid for their ads numerous times. I’ve followed their “rules” but still get blocked. It’s a good thing I had other social accounts that’s worth investing my time and money. This is depressing.
If ‘sheep’ is what you, in your infinite wisdom, call people who believe in ‘fake global warming’, as you so eloquently put it, then you must be on par with a jellyfish. By the by, they cancel your account for any/no reason. ‘Fake’ global warming notwithstanding.
If you are a republican, against the fake global warming you will not be allowed to open an account. Sheep.com is what they should name their site. Time to create a competitor.
due to the number of disable and closure, I email facebook about that,
FACEBOOK STAFF TOLD ME, when locked my account I give them identity card.
they said, they are facebook head, they can really lock anyone up anytime they want to
if they think you are fake person, they just lock you without notice.
means, even if this time you give FB ID card, your account will also be disabled EVEN IN SHORTER TIME THAN THE LAST DISABLED.
your account is disabled 6 months to 1 yr after you register, then 3-6 months then 2-3 months and 1-2 month then days.
sometimes even hours, your account is disabled
it’s facebook staff allow to do this, without contact the user.
even if you open back account, they can even lock you again in seconds.
so not use facebook is the only solution to avoid such hassle/pressure/stress
Do not give them your IDs, and also not apply new account, they will make pontificate you from your device and block again…..
I m also not going to send any shit to fb, fuck this stupidity
i Got My acct back by sending my b certificate and also cusing them out of oblivion. I can’t change my name ever
facebook will disable you again after they reopen your facebook. they will keep lock until they make sure you can’t get the account back.
ooh, you are the first I knew ever get your accout back here on this forum. congratulation…. you lost your id to Fuckjoke…lol
Shitbook is also asking my ID. but the thing what Shitbook workers don’t understand, people want to use
nick name at Shitbook because they want to comment news and articles online (you need FB account to comment).
I have things to say which are against our Government current politics.
if I use real name, government finds me very easily. no one wants to go to jail because FB comments ? right.
Just create a digital fake id, or shop your real life one, that’s what I do
my account disabled please enable my facebook account
Screw that they can keep my account locked. That will be the day I upload my govt. issued ID to a social network for their identity theft harvesting purposes. You have to be an idiot to upload your ID to anything on the internet let alone stupid Facebook. Just create a new account. Tell them to pound sand up their ass..
they told me, they reserve the rights to lock any time they want to. and force people show id card because they are the ones who control people facebook accounts. unless you not use facebook. they can’t ride you over
I know about this. It happened with me too. I had to scan my government id documents and send it to facebook to get my profile working again
I sent my government id documents to fb still locked from my account
Jesse, I never see any one get his account back here, no matter what kind of ID you submitted.
is this real or a hack?
facebook need ID is real. but if you not send them ID you can’t get the facebook acc back.
Yesterday FB suddenly asked for ID verification. I complied on my iphone. Then I found a fb toll free number for help which turns out to be a third party not associated with FB. They are called “Printers Tech Fz LLC” and they do have a website. Says they are in Saudi Arabia but they claim that is where their payments go but they are based in the US – New York.
They said my FB account was suddenly active in Russia – I live in the USA. That is why FB ask for ID. Said the Russians hacked into my account and into my home computer and iPhone using the software “Torpig”. Now after $500!!! and three hours they “cleaned” all of my devices. I did get an email from FB giving me a case number for my ID verification. Well after cleaned I logged back into FB and they had notified my IN FB that my ID was good before Printers Tech even started their cleaning. Was I hacked or just scammed – maybe but I’m definitely out $500!!

Pissed Off
We need an attorney to represent us for a class action lawsuit. They have my information held hostage. I have my correct password and email. Even reset my password several times to no avail. We really do need a class action lawsuit. It’s the only way we will get them to fix this mess. Let’s petition congress and try to find some attorneys to represent us in a suit against them.
This just happen to me two weeks ago they locked me out of my account had to submit my ID they said they would email me I didn’t get an email from FB giving me a case number for my ID verification I am still locked
I have decided to stop using my Facebook account because of the ID requirement. I hope that many others make the same decision.
i just did.
This is not the government asking for your ID, FB is a publicly traded corporation, its no different than Exxon or General Motors demanding your picture ID.
And there is no way they will delete your ID after they have reviewed it, not a chance.
I shall not send my picture ID to them, sorry.
I would be more then happy to help with this, Very crazy So Is this really the government doing this or A BIG time Hacker . Also this has been known to be happening around the world.With all this Crap going on in our world. So bad , I really dont know what to say anymore There is no way 1 person can fix this ,
I’ve done some further research on the laws surrounding this debacle with Facebook. I am not a lawyer and some of the things I said on Dec 23, 2016 are not as accurate as I’d like. There’s no laws about e-personation at the federal level in the USA. Being anonymous or unidentified online is not a crime. Some States in the USA have laws against e-personation. I found a video on Youtube that could help your understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWnmzIswOQY
I also found an article about this on Wired: https://www.wired.com/2015/06/facebook-real-name-policy-problems/
I am a Canadian citizen so would not be able to bring suit against FB in the USA. Have any of you considered bringing a class-action suit against them? Rather than just whining about how unfair it is. It’s illegal for a police person (in USA) to demand your ID without probable cause. So, how come FB can ask for it?
My account is also blocked. The problem is that I ceated my Facebook page with a nickname 10 years ago, before they required users to use their real name. Also, my page picture is a manga character… I am agitated that my account was locked for security reasons and that I need to send an ID for the picture and the name. Even if I can mask important information, I am unwilling to send such document online. I lost a 10 year old account with all its content and contacts!
Facebook= Fuckjoke.
Join us to prepare a law suit for this dirty .
I always felt maybe naively that the silicon valley was based on libertarian principles and that such inquisitorial demands would not occur on a website like Facebook.
I have been a member of Facebook since 06 and have always used my real name and shared more information that I should have (date of birth, university, my share of pictures, location…).That being said facebook disabled my account and the only way it can be reinstated is if I submit a government issued ID, which is where I draw the line.
I do not believe that FB has any right (neither legal and certainly not moral) to ask for any official ID as proof of identity. They are going down a dangerous path and I would rather not be on FB than submit a copy of my passport to a company that has no business having it.
I hope all a$$hol3$ that blocked my account at Facebook have a Christmas tree up their a$$3$!
Facebook is locking us out first! Then asking for ID. It’s not for those who are “locked out” for some unkown reason!!!!
You understand that Facebook is not a human being? A program regularly checks user accounts and randomly locks them without warning. You can only re-open your account by submitting official government photo identification to them. You do not send the actual physical documents — just copies of them. They need your real name, address, signature, photo and phone/cell numbers. They are backed by a law in USA, UK and Canada. You cannot misrepresent yourself online. No more anonymity. You can be anonymous but you are breaking a law. I see that law as “kinda stupid” considering online ID theft. Please understand that I do not work for Facebook. I just help people where I can. I got locked out by them too so I quit FB completely. I wish EVERYONE would quit FB and put them out of business. Ah well, heck will freeze over etc.
I hope Zuck makes his 99% fortune donation very soon…
If you need help, please read the posts made before yours. The help is there. Getting tired of repeating it over and over because you don’t read enough. Not all answers are instant. Sometimes you need to do some work of your own on it. I understand your frustration. You are aware that FB makes its money by following and spying on the people who use it? I have totally quit FB, and so too have many of my friends. Best of luck.
Greetings,
After weeks of attempting to login to my business and personal FB accounts I can not get into them. My business is suffering especially at this busy time of year. I have followed all the FB help suggestions to no avail. Is there any way you or someone you know can help me.
Why did you wait so long? You need to contact Facebook by email and send them proof of your identity. They will not accept anything less. It will take at least a week to get back on. Next time do not base your business on Facebook. You own nothing on it. Nothing. In the meantime search for other online ways to promote your business. I am a retired person. I don’t work for FB. I am also no longer a member of FB. I quit because they were a huge waste of my time. Thank goodness I backed up everything I submitted to it. Hope it works out well for you.
please help me my fb id is blocked
mmm then bye facebook, used to much time there anyway, time to get my life back
We’ll get in touch with you at the email address you provided after we’ve reviewed your ID. You will now be logged out of Facebook.
I have seen thousands of other reports of people locked out of their accounts. You’ve done nothing wrong. Facebook doesn’t care about you. They want your ID because for them it’s money in the bank to have your real name and address. Their excuse is a law in USA and Canada (and also perhaps in UK) where you are not allowed to be anonymous or impersonate someone or something else online or off. Facebook has a program that roams around, randomly closing accounts, any account. If you want to keep your account you will have to provide them with what they want from you. I decided that this so-called “free service” wasn’t free at all. I quit FB completely. I don’t miss it.
Well I sent my ID using my real name and address But not m real profile picture I did have some real pics of me but not as a profile. So that wasn’t really impersonating but they locked me out of my account I sent them my government ID I’m still locked out they never sent me an email from FB giving me a case number for my ID verification
I’ve been locked out of FB because I was posting web page links to companies that produce made in the USA products !! I guess commie FB hates made in the USA .
I’m shocked af my account’s been suspended just yesterday asking to submit my government id, it’s just disgusting enough, why should I give my personal info? I often see many id posts illegal things and still are visible active. But I posted nothing wrong. I lost thousands of my dear friends and datas. I just hate Facebook. But all the people stuck with Facebook and made it top in the field. I have no way but stick once again with this shit.
I am in the exact same boat as all of you. What can we do?? How can we get our accounts back? This is awful :(
Its me from Aug 14 ,
I’m an astronest player who connected my game acct to fb, after a while , I was locked out of Facebook, and consequently astronest, 9 months, 150$ wasted, happily almost two weeks later AN consumer support moved my account to Google play, now, a, why can’t Facebook perform a most what similar security check WITHOUT govt ID and 2nd, give us a frigging warning so we can move out first, never again Facebook, never again, OH and P.S. go post a link to this page on zuckerbergs fb acct!
I had a facebook account for years and years, under my REAL name. Its an unusual name and FB didnt believe it was real so was locked out. I didnt want to give sensitive ID out over the net… its not safe!! Iwas furious that I was forced into that situation! I lost everything; my contacts, photo’s, artwork everything and it was REAL. GRRRRR
Its advisable by many if you market yourself online or your business to use social platform with some reservation that one day they could delete all your work and your profile. As they seem to believe bots more than humans (Scary right?).
You sould use social media only to direct people from them into your paid hosted website and ask people who are interested in your work to give you their emails address/subscribe to some newsletter you send. This way you will survive (have your contacts and your material) in case fartbook or any fartbook arbitrarily decides to mess with you and your livelyhood.
@Trinbagonian
Facebook has a program that randomly closes accounts and then sends you an email demanding that you identify yourself. Send them a copy of your driver’s license, birth certificate or other kind of identity card. That’s if you want them to know who you are and where you live. I know of a girl who did it and she was reinstated in about two weeks.
As for myself, I completely quit Facebook. It’s just not worth it.
My account was locked today midway thru a comment on a friend’s page. They are asking for govt photo id. Why do I need to provide that? I am NOT a US citizen nor do I live in the US so what are they going to compare it to or confirm it with? I do NOT do selfies, comment on US politics, used any fake names nor have I violated any of their terms and conditions. I have used my real name for the entire time, I think it’s eight years, I’ve been on fb. Last night I made a comment on PokemonGo and got some stupid responses from some stupid players. One brought up my last name. Now i’m wondering if that idiot reported me or something. It will be absolutely stupid of Facebook to lock out a user who has been using it longer than the idiot that reported them, without even checking the post itself. Beside that, I can’t see why fb should ask me, a foreigner, for picture id especially since they wouldn’t kno what’s valid in my country or not. It’s really highly suspicious.
I know you will say im mad but the following weird thing happened:
1) I reported a lot of others for spamming, for hate speech etc
2) naturally I got the attention of facebook employees, by reporting others….
3) I had a lot of formant unplublished pages that i created but never developed. Now I saw crazy traces of visitors. How can unpublished pages have visitors?
4) For a while I do nothing But the visitos keep coming back. I mean, every week I get notification that someone saw my page, even unpublished page:/ And pages that had no photos or info on them. By the way they wree not pages with any political content hate speech, im involved in fine arts so they were aobut promoting me as artist but i never developed them. So someone IN FACEBOOK decided he/ or she, likes to browse my personal data and personal artworkin my unpublished pages…..Great….
5) I feel uncomfortable and decided to download my entire profile content and then delete my facebook profile.
6) I proceed with the download, then next day I myself ask that my profile is deleted in special request.
7) I get notification that unless I log back within a certain time, i will have my profile deleted indeed. So im given a last chance to keep it. I start pondering if i should….
8) I decide to log in and keep my profile. but guess what im told: iM TOLD THAT I HAVE VIOLATED FACEBOOK’S POLICIES AND FOR THIS REASON MY PROFILE IS DELETED FOR EVER.
Coincidence? I believe somoene within Facebook was stalking me! He or she kept coming back looking at everything i say and create in facebook and then when I myself decided to delete my profile, he/she got vindictive (as a typical stalker) for not having anymore access to my personal life, and he/she put this permanent delete in place to insult me should I want to keep my profile within the period of still being able to save it before permanent deletion.
Facebook HAS STALKERS!
“How can unpublished pages have visitors?” Because your account had already be hacked. Someone figured out or discovered your password and discredited you to Facebook. Of course FB has hackers and stalkers. Welcome to the real world. At least you were able to download your content before it all went to hell. Get your computer checked for keyloggers and other forms of spyware or malware (malware is bad/criminal software). I would strongly suggest you also change ALL of your passwords. I know it’s a chore but it’s possible your computer has also been hacked.

Hi, thanks very much for assuming that there is no way I could have discredited myself (haha) but I think I did. I was involved in so called ‘online campaigns of awareness” for example ,for animal rights, when things go ugly one animal activist turns against the other hence many people if not dozens reported my profile (im sure of this cause they threatened they would). And indeed I did not use my real name completely. I was surely not abiding with the law of facebook.
I doubt anyone has hacked my facebook and I insist that a working person for facebook, who was called by the haters to take a look at my messages (flagged I guess) and at public opinions, he/she took the libery to also STALK me for months. Hence the hits in unpublished pages. Despite the reports against me my profile was intact for a year and i was not even asked to provide ID. But as I said above I felt very uneasy about the idea that a facebook employee is stalking me? Ok they told him/her so because of the reports against me but stalking is illegal no matter what.
I think Facebook acts like an unethical corporation who doesn’t even have a decent product anymore. They constantly make enemies and think that they will always be number 1 network for socializing online. This is not certain. One can only think of a new facebook platform that somehow will be better then im sure millions will slowly be jumping onto the new social network.
Its for me weird that nobody else came up with a very similar netowrk (except VK but thats Russian mainly) already!
I got an ode, every time we get blocked, grab a new account with legit looking name and stuff and post anti government and anti face joke sentiments, the spike will cause em to wig out and hopefully act differently , OR grab lots and lots of spam friends and paste a link to dis page an tell to send to their friends as a warning, that’s how we’ll piss em off
Just got mine blocked now. Though I might lose my friends and pictures. IT COULD BE A GOODBYE!
Facebook had locked me out during mid of a comment and conversation with reference to Nikon School inviting a Workshop captioned ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHY. It appears to be an Advertisement based commercial site rather being a social site because unwanted commercial advertisement often appeared on Facebook “PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW”.
Even after submission of Government IDs with photo, Name and Age proof for a number of times Facebook declared me below 13 years of irrespective of 65 years old. They said it themselves and heard what they say. Facebook authorities behaved like a mad fellow and treated themselves as Government above Globe. During humiliation by Facebook I was compelled to consider their act as a dictator on the Globe, working as a spy for someone they work for.
My Facebook account remained hacked and blocked illegaly and unlawfully until I decided to file a legal suit against illegal and unlawful act of Facebook authorities in court of legal action and after lodging my complaint online with other working sites. My Facebook account was unblocked at 1.53 pm on 09 08 2016. Thanks to all who cooperated.
Krishna Deo August 9, 2016 at 1.52 pm #
@Krishna Deo, thanks for your share of your encourage stories of your fight to get your account back…lol
Its the first case here I saw with a personal victory over Fuckjoke.
Do you mind to share with us your legal actions in details “
thanks
Facebook has locked me out during mid of a comment conversation against a defrauding Photography School run by a Camera manufacturing company. The advertisement of the Camera company often appeared on Facebook “PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW”.
Even after submission of Government IDs with photo, Name and Age proof for a number of times Facebook declares me below 13 years of age in-spite of age proof for 65 years old. They have put me in a great monetary loss.
They say it themselves and hear what they say. Facebook authorities are behaving like a mad fellow and treat themselves as Government above Globe.
It is a senseless act as a dictator on the Globe and work as a spy for someone they work for. Facebook steals personal information and identity proofs.
In spite of several emails Facebook has stolen my personal ID. It has become a COMMRCIAL site rather than being social, collect information for Government, hack and block accounts during election period . It is totally illegal and Advertisement based site. I shall file a legal suit against illegal and unlawful act of Facebook authorities in court of legal action.
Good Bye, Facebook,
Facebook has locked my without prior notification to me .What the shit is taking place in Facebook I need to submit my government ID proof in order to recover my locked account .How atrocious is this!!!! I have no need that I have to prove my identity. Goodbye Facebook
Great advise larry stevenson. Thats exactly what i did and its working. I dont care if facejoke is cancelling my account, i have 4 more accounts to play with. Hell yeah! Catch me if you can facejoke!
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Good advice if you trip and fall carrying eggs. Have more than one FB account using different legitimate names. Many people in the same communities such as school dorms and such have seperate accounts with FB on the same IP address. So, unless they are privy to all your private info then you can do it too. It’s not illegal. You’ll need multiple email addresses. However, if they ask for your ID or your cell number do NOT give it to them. If they close an account, then you need to be prepared to close and dump that one while you use your other ones. Piece of cake. Btw, it’s not a human who is blocking your account. It’s a computer program. You might try researching using Google what accounts get closed by FB and how to avoid having one. As for myself I chose to quit FB entirely. I have extra time now. I’m learning how to paint the old-fashioned way. Seems I have some talent too.
I got locked out, my so called ‘fake’ name is Anne. Seriously…. how fake does that sound to you?
I dont have any photo ID, never have. Im nearly 50 dont drive, never had a passport. So I cant have a fb account. SO RIDICULOUS… it isnt fair. Im an honest, good person who fell victim to their insane ideas of keeping things legit. All it is doing it making innocent people miss out. Its not my fault I cant get any ID with a photo on. I want to scream and strangle facebook….
Fb locked my account whitout previous warning! I send what fb ask me and my account is still locked, I can’t believe fb is doing this. I’m so
Then just stop using it. Up to Facebook, I can use others Social media with not annoying like it.
Bye Facebook.
Pleec give me my passport
Facebook is worst. It locks account and ask for confidential information to share with NSA, etc… Never use it.
What’s wrong with them??
I’ve been using my nickname for almost 2 years and suddenly been asked to change it been locked without no warning, and as well as asked to provide them my ID.
Gave to them yet my account is still locked
We’ll get in touch with you at the email address you provided after we’ve reviewed your ID. You will now be logged out of Facebook.
You realise that all the stuff you post on Facebook belongs to them, not you? If you give them your cell number they now have your name and address. Currently, in Canada and the USA it’s illegal to misrepresent yourself online so the old way of anonymity is gone. When FB demanded my ID (which cannot be photocopied btw) I told them to take a hike. I shut down all my FB accounts and blocked them to my emails. Responding to them is useless. None of the communications they have given you have come from humans, only from a machine. Machines lack stuff like mercy. If you get locked out of your accounts, just move on. OR, try contacting the human aspects of FB: http://www.headquartersinfo.com/facebook-headquarters-information/
Good Luck!
how the hell do i get my profile back after i was forced to add my cell number to log into my account?

As FaceJoke was communicating earlier…
Say hasta la vista to your FB account. If you have been reading, even if you are desperately enough to load the ID, FaceJOKE will not response or give you access. Even if you say pretty please and tell them you will give Suckerburg a BJ, your account will still be blocked & locked. Just write it off as a lost cause. Just pray and hope that the ID you uploaded will not be use in an evil way by some unknown person on the other end. Advise to you, my gullible friend, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT UPLOAD any more ID or whatever FaceJOKE is requesting. Just move on…
Got locked out of my FB profile and have been asked to provide an ID with matching details like name and DoB.
Please help me unblock my account back. When i tried to login they told me to log out of it since i havent snd them with the real ID proof. Please help.
after 5 years of use Facebook is forcing me to change my profile name they initially aproved!
I registered a Facebook account back in 2011 using a nickname and I WAS ACCEPTED!
Now after 5 years of use and after creating a net of contacts that know me by that name Facebook is forcing me to change it!
It makes me sick to see that this company can do whatever they want!
If my name wasn’t good it shouldn’t be accepted right from the beginning!
Not now after all the work I had creating a network!
The main question here is this one »» should this company have the right to force someone to change something they accepted right from the beginning and during 5 years??
Some years ago Google tried to force users to use their real names but then changed their ideas and came to their senses. Facebook instead kept this stupid idea and had cases like Sister Roma, Salman Rushdie and many others!
If they wanted Facebook to be a social network with only real names that should have been done right from the beginning.
It’s a dictatorial attitude what this company is doing without no one fighting against this!
1. accepted my name
2. used it during 5 years
AND NOW THEY COME AND FORCE ME TO CHANGE IT???
And their support is incompetent taking days to solve issues that could be solved in minutes
The ways people have to contact and complaint against this company are impossible to deal with!
A bunch of automatized answers and no direct or live support!
This company wants customers without having employers to give them support.
They want revenues without costs!
They run a business that couldn’t care less about its customers and users!
We’ll get in touch with you at the email address you provided after we’ve reviewed your ID. You will now be logged out of Facebook. What the FUCK is This ??// i send my id card but stitt locked FUCK FACEbOOk
I am Furious at Facebook for just ripping my account from me after today, A random Security lock happened on my 4 year old facebook account, Unexpected Delays due to Facebook’s ID process. I was asked to Send a Government Issued ID (Social security, Birth certificate, ect.) Just to verify who I am, I have yet to ever see that FB account working again. Thanks Facebook, thanks alot. This is some BS.
Did you ever get your account back? Same thing just happen to me
@FaceJoke Very wise and true recommendations. Thank you for continously lighting the candle on us. Much appreciated!

Someone reported photos I uploaded in a video I was blocked for 7 days it’s been an entire week they asked me to confirm my identity I go through the steps and everytime I get to the page where it says upload a state ID I upload it and it goes to a page saying that m.Facebook.com can’t handle this request every time I’ve sent numerous emails and don’t know how to get back into my account any help would be appreciated

Hello again. You may have noticed that places like FB and some others are asking for your cell or mobile numbers. Don’t give it to them. From that number they can learn who you really are and get your home address. It’s actually illegal in Canada and the USA to impersonate someone else online. So, the oldschool habit of being anonymous online doesn’t work like it used to. For my part I do not own a mobile/cell and they don’t accept hardlines. I often wish they’d realize that not everyone is cell happy. If you’ve been locked out of your FB account and you really don’t want to lose the information it contains you will most likely need to speak to a lawyer. Here’s a good article from 2014 about it: http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/i-asked-a-lawyer-how-facebooks-new-terms-will-affect-my-online-life-183
@Larry Stevenson, You are make good point, but they already building this whole world as a jail for everyone, and those agencies and internet companies like Fuckjoke ,they are working as the jail owners..lol
Actually, they we the people can make them in the same digital cells too…
Ok so recently I got locked out of my account, they asked for an id, in which I sent a photo of the only id card I have, but with the photo blocked. Now I don’t have the same name as my facebook one, due to not wanting to share my personal name with fb group(s). Later I got an email telling me they still won’t accept it, and now they have my info. I have stuff on that account that I don’t want to just disappear, I’ve been trying to contact facebook but of course I don’t get any help from them.
Facebook isn’t worth the effort. There was My Space, then Facebook. Now it is time for someone to develop the next platform.
Yup Fakebook just pulled the Goverment ID bullshit on me too.
The only way to get them to stop tis bullshit is a class action lawsuit or cause their stock prive to go down.
The most sinful action of this Fackjoke is that it play the role of God to make judgement on its blocked users come here on this link.
Fuckjoke is the living hell for us all, and happy to leave it as the earliest users..
I’ve quit FB completely, although it will be two weeks (14 days) before my (other) account is fully deleted. They wanted photo ID again to let me download the content so I’ve let it go. Anyways, for others out there who want to delete their accounts, the page at FB is extremely hard to find. You need to be logged into FB to use the page. It’s at number 4 in the following link: http://www.wikihow.com/Permanently-Delete-a-Facebook-Account Just click on “this link”. Good instructions there. As for the other FB account, I’ve blocked its email addy. All I can do and they can keep it. I’m still on Twitter. So far they seem to have some good sense.
Facebook is still at it. They asked repeatedly for months for me to supply a mobile number. I don’t have one. Do you know why walky-talkies have rubber coated antennas? Because if it was exposed it would burn you badly. Everyone using a cell phone today is slowly frying their brain. It causes behavioral abnormalities such as road-rage. I’m not crazy, my IQ is well past 200. I have been locked out of an old account by them today. I don’t want it anymore. But now that they’ve pulled this I am seriously considering to totally quit Facebook. I have another account.
I had Google do the same thing to an old YouTube account a couple months back. Their computer decided that someone had stolen my password and were trying to access the account. There’s no way to give Google feedback especially online. You have to phone their business office. I hate calling long distance without a 1-800 number. So it sits for now. I plan to remove its email address.
@faceJOKE, right on!
Nicely said faceJOKE.
I couldn’t have said it better.
Thanks for sharing the truth about what faceJOKE is all about, a SCAM and a SHAM.
@Nir
Just say BYE BYE to your FaceJOKE account and photos.
Unfortunately it’s GONE and NO photo ID will give you access to all your photos. No one else ask for Government photo ID, except for FaceJOKE! They want all your personal information, so they can held you HOSTAGE for obtaining MORE personal information from you. The more personal information you share on FaceJOKE the more desperate one becomes in getting that information / account back when they lock you OUT! Until you surrender your most intimate information / photos / ID to these JOKERS at FB.
FaceJOKE is SCAM and SHAM for all the millions of unsuspecting users who choose to post all their personal photos, information with them. So, they can sell to the highest bidders.
What to do all my pictures in Facebook;/(((
my facebook account got blocked and other members in my official group also got blocked because we ended up becoming members of uniwebz.com which has recently come up with unlimited likes, dislikes, ratings & rankings for professional networking and personal networking, and unlike facebook giving just an email id which is useless as we cannot send or receive mails, where in uniwebz gave me an id for social and professional networking plus my email id the same as my networking id to send and receive mails, blog, shop, entertainment all free….facebook charged me around 140 RS per day for my promotions where in uniwebz started giving it completely free for lifetime….we ended up creating creating ids there and was happy and went to uniwebz page on facebook and joined there…and then all our facebook ids GOT BLOCKED!!! how disgusting… they ended up deleting all our ids which is connected to our professional life, after n number of attempts to retrieve through ID proof verifications too, none of our accounts got opened…. but when i google search for my id, facebook has still kept my database there, just to maintain their user counts….THE MOST ILLEGAL activity BY FACEBOOK…. i have ended up changing the name facebook stored on my mind to fakebook…complete nonsense for illegal, immoral, terrorist activity site where fake ids have their place and people like us who have original ids are blocked.. facebook alias fakebook likes only nude ids, immoral activities and nonsense to get more users…FACEBOOK ALIAS FAKEBOOK…you guys are nearing extinction … all the best… RIP FACEBOOK
@rena, so much bullshit from fuckface my toilets is jealous!
I would forget about your account and create another one with a different name.
@image, even if you gave them an ID its not a guarantee to get access to your account.
They did that to me one year ago, i gave them my ID and for the past year i havent been able to access my account. i keep on receiving the message that they are reviewing my ID.
Its BS!
I would suggest to create another account with different name.
Dont count on fuckface to help you. They dont care. They are ruthless
Facebook Closed my account although i explained them that it was hacked and i provided ID CARD
ANYONE Can Help me please

Feb 28 2016
@jinxie, so not right. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing that can be done.
This is how you get succesful in this country at the expenses of others.
fuckface is ruthless!
fuckface is about war, guns and power.
My Facebook account locked and I am so sad becose its not open so plz open my Facebook account plz help me
I woke up this morning to my account locked too. I just put $25 in facebook credits on my account before I went to sleep, so I FEEL ROBBED as well.
How can this be legal??? you put MONEY on an account and then BAM they lock you out, taking your money?????? if ANYONE else on the planet did that they would be in prison, yet facebook has their terms of service that pretty much immunizes them from EVERY sort of possible liability.
this is not the first time this has happened to me yet i am SHOCKED and pissed off.
it is a sunday and there likely isn’t anyone even there to reply or check my ID anyway.
Is there ANY WAY to complain to the investors?????

@Erik,
I think that you also used another laptops ,or mobile..lol
I have had two Fukkjoke acounts before, and I realized that the blocked both, and heavily attack us as our early users.
They have given me some 7 or 10 days before it blocked me copletly…but I decided to leave it the same day, and left a boodby msgs to all my cared Fuckjoke friend.
One day if I have time to regiester on line again I Would use it to attack Fuckjoke myself again.LOL
Nice words JIH.
I am faced with an intersting situation. . .
So my account was blocked 10 months ago. Like most of you, i had it for 6 years, low keys and busy. I was so shocked on the day when i couldnt access my account and was asked instead to provide proof of identity. I choose not to and decided to forget forever fuckjoke.
It was not that easy to stop relying on fuckjoke in my daily tasks after 6 years.
The twist in my story is that yesterday i went back into fuckjoke to see if i could create another fuckjoke account with another fake name.
Guess what?
I can!
Guess what??
I dont want it. Its a blank page. I dont know what to do with it. I no longer want to be part of fuckjoke!
If only i could go back into my #1 account to get my pictures and notes.
This time around, I am choosing to jump off the fuckjoke data mining train.
I am Letting it GO!
@JakeBoy, your idea makes sense.
I have an Idea.
If everyone who has been booted out like us, creates a new account and then starts reporting every name they can, every chance they can, we might be able to upset enough people so that they make so much noise that they have to change there policy.
Everything I have read has told me that facebook has made it open slather for people to report false names, this is the chink in there armor, this is how we get them back.
We take away there users, we overload there workers, and we create a stink that goes viral without facebook.
why would ANYONE knowingly subject innocent people to the hell we are going through??? kind of messed up
+Jake Boy, there is no need to low us to their standard of life, let Fuckjoke living in hell.
If anyone is foolish enough to provide any official documentation to facebook, you may be sure that your information will be passed on to third-party interests. Facebook does not delete your confidential data after you have uploaded it. Facebook – particularly, Mark Zuckerberg and that festering rat Sheryl Sandberg – have also been asking for credit card numbers, too. Facebook alleges that it is because a users account is hacked – that, however, is a lie. Since Sheryl ‘sad-sack’ Sandberg and her dilapidated crew of mental retards began to infringe on freedom of speech, facebook profits plummeted.
Facebook needs to be investigated – thoroughly, this time – by federal authorities.
Issues…issues…issues! So I downloaded the messenger app for FB, it asks for your password to get you set up…(guilty) I forgot it. Tried to log in too many times from my phone I guess. Suddenly I’m getting a message to submit my personal government info! Do you see my user name? It’s a business…Flaflowerfloozie Titusville…I have 9 days to do this (eyeroll) but I have limited access for 9 days till I submit my personal life to the dark unknowing abyss. I went threw the unhelpful help pages and out right told them…close the account I’M NOT GOING TO DO THIS!
A business doesn’t have photo ID and there is no way in H.E. double hockey sticks I’m going to either! I have had the same Email & phone # for years. Hasn’t changed can’t I verify this way? Noooo! So I posted on my FB page there threat. So since I now know my page can be accessed by the whole world except me, I’ll make my cover pic my contact info. My biz contacts will still be able to contact me…bye FB
Hello IGNORANT, social media as fabricated by fuckface is a platform for the only purpose but to Return On Investment. Have you ever heard of ROI?
fb is the cash caw for fuckface. It is only a marketing tool to lure you into their claws of data mining.
Be Grateful to be free from fuckface claws!
Even when you give them your ID, they won’t let you back in as it takes times (8 months and still going) for FB to review your ID.
Social media is a marketing machine. Don’t expect social endearments from a profitable corporation!
What a joke!
Anyone on this topic have recovered his ID ?
I see no one, they will not return your IDs, no matter what you submit to them.
this is just another attempt for government to spy and collect data on its people I was locked out too when it cost them money they will change unless the government is going to subsidize all that lost revenue by means of tax relief or some other means….I didn’t need them before and I don’t need them now …but it was cool for a minute …guess we will just have to revert back to old technologies like Kodak cameras and photographs and good old fashioned letters written by hand land line telephones …wow that should put another boost in the economy no one seen coming im good with it besides we don’t need to be subjected to this any way and what kind of freedom is it anyway when your being policed by the entertainment industry what a tragedy oh well Facebook can kindly F.O …CHEERS………………P.S Facebook officially sucks….a………………………………………….
It is just Fuckjoke now, they just want to play the gods and control all aspects of individual life.
I think there will come up not only distributed internets, but also the mesh and independent social network frame ,owned ,managed and donated by its users….
The Fuckjoke will be the last one of such social networks, which from glory come to shit of hell.
Just had my FB account blocked and they are asking for id…not a hope in hell.
I don’t understand I never open up any external pages or links that would compromise my account…
Facebook has become so trashy anyway time to log out for good.
Bye bye Facebook I guess…
thank you
thank you
I am not going to publish on public website my full name and birthday- for the reason that identity theives would have a field day. FB never wanted that before, so I guess I will just stay off. THey don’t give option to reply either- just COMPLY- seems pretty arrogant. THey have my email, but I am not buying or selling and just talking, so this is so bogus.
FUCKJOKE is now play gods and goernment, they think they are no more just commercial organization.
Let them go to hell
Thank you for responding to my Dec. 8/15 comment, Psychodelia. This is interesting. Peter at another web site had this to say on Oct. 25/15: “I recently tried to send a message to a person who I hoped belonged to my family tree. When you send a message on Facebook to someone who is not a member of your FB page you are required to select certain items (images) before they let the message go through. I made an error with one of the items and immediately got locked out of my page. I did not ever get a chance to correct my mistake. I am going through the 3rd degree trying to prove who I am. I have been locked out for the weekend with no end in sight. Trying to get through to Facebook for help is a NIGHTMARE.” This was the exact thing that happened to another FB user that I know. What’s going on?
Are you aware that fb is not wanting to help against terrorism? I am just reading a newspaper article about it.
Fb is facilitating the terrorism by allowing their members to be on fb.
I wouldnt be surprised to know that fb is facilitating the sell of guns to terrorism.
Lets face it fb is a marketing tool where buyers and sellers meet.
Fb is becoming a threat to the web and our safety!
I was locked out from Facebook five days ago. No explanation why—just that they need a verification & I must send them a government-issued id (driver’s license) with a photo. I refuse to do that! I’ve been on FB for three years, never cluttered my page with too many ‘friends’, didn’t pester others with requests for new friends (happy with those I had)— mainly viewed photos of my grandsons who live in Ontario. And I used my real name too and where I was from. I’m glad I’m not addicted to FB so it is easy for me to adapt. I never could understand why any FB user would need 1000+ friends. A chap who was locked out from FB has been trying for many, many weeks now to get unlocked but can’t because he keeps failing to identify the photos of his seven friends (randomly selected by FB). He said he had a few thousand friends on FB. What a nightmare for him. Even a 6 out of 7 is no good! Has to get all seven for a pass. Even if he finally succeeds, it doesn’t guarantee him anything. What some have to do to get reinstated. Who needs that? (ha)
So true, your comment with people with 1000 Facebook ‘friends’. What a load of old bollocks! They’d be very lucky if 10 of them were real friends. REAL friends are not that easy to come by, or to keep. It take effort. You cannot possibly extend that effort to so many people. Same with these people who rack up thousands of Twitter or Instragram followers or whatever, is their sense of self esteem that low, they need to have these figures to make them feel worthy? Good for you that you don’t need them, you can always email your grandsons.
There’s plenty going on in life, ditch F**kbook, people, if they are giving you grief like this.
Return my account first ! ,they are both thief and cheater, stolen the friendship connections and years , The Fuckjoke with its fuck joke Chinese shit.
my reaction after the Fuckjoke accounted to give up his 99% share:
Keep your shares, return my account !
wish to play the Government and gods ?
Return my account first ! ,they are both thief and cheater, stolen the friendship connections and years on FB, ,
Now they are The Fuckjoke with its fuck joke Chinese shit.
@RebelDog, i hear you and feel your frustration. This is so not right in so many ways.
fb has to go down!
Blocked and ID check by Facebook. Wow, am I pissed off! FB are happy with taking my money to promote my small, struggling business but have now pulled the plug on that. What’s worse, I (stupidly) used FB to log into other services such as Pinterest, and thanks to FB I have had problems regaining control of those unrelated accounts. NEVER use your FB login details to sign up to any other service!
FB have just cut off my income for no good reason. Their customer service (and I do consider myself a “customer” seeing as I have paid them for services) is atrocious. They are by far the most horrible, arrogant f**ktards on the planet. They spend so much time and effort encouraging small businesses to build up followers and achievements and then bully us with those achievements using ransom demands for ID.
Facebook – in the space of just one day you have utterly destroyed all respect I had for you as a serious platform for social engagement and business growth. You are basically just a bunch of vile evil c**ts.
If I were you, I’d sue them for ruining my business which is affecting my customers.
It’s been seven months since Facebook disabled my account and now it doesn’t exist because my e-mail is incorrect according to them. I’m glad I’m no longer using that shitty website so they can use my personal information and government ID for their own twisted purposes.
Today, i was just talking with my friends about a School Project, and they live PRETTY Far from my area and we dont have anything to contact with other than Facebook, and then suddenly i got kicked from MY OWN ACCOUNT!!! because someone reported my account with: you are unrespectful to many members, and it contained a list FULL OF LIES AFTER LIES AFTER LIES!! and it asked for my Gov. ID…..
WHY WOULD I NEED TO USE IT IF ITS NOT MY GODDAMN MISTAKE?
i cant even reach them for help, due to its requirement to use my GOV. ID…..
@psychodelia; very wise comments. I agree with you. I also believe there is a reason for everything.
It is a very frustrating situation to find myself after 6 years of using fb as my window to the world, as my blank canvas to redraw everyday, as a bridge with my family overseas, as my red book and so much more…maybe too much more. How was my life before fb? Why am i missing it? What is it that i am missing from using it?
I am becoming very inquisitive as to my usage of fb and its role, impact on my life.
It is a hard transition and adjustement to not rely on fb anymore. I went to twitter instead. Its not the same. Why is that?
Maybe twitter needs to become what pepsi is to cocacola.
It has been 4 months now and my account is still locked while they are reviewing my submitted ID. what a joke!
I did open a second account and they shut me down fast asking for ID.
I am on stand still right now learning to live without fb and not be mad about it. A new lifestyle. Sounds weird!
Hi Erik,
Yes, I completely sympathise with you and the countless others who have been ‘punished’ by Zuckerwank for no good cause. A dreadful way to treat their customers and no excuse whatsoever.
I got a lot out of reading your reply, thank you. It really does make you question the whys and wherefores. On the upside, think of some great project that you could maybe undertake, using the time you used to spend on Facebook.
Wishing you all the very best, and a middle finger raised to F**kbook!
Karen
Let’s start a crowdfunding to sue Fuckjoke !
anyone has tried to register a new ID and blocked ?
I just used fuckjoke as password and they Fuckjoke instantly suspended that new ID…lol
Seriously, don’t let it worry you any longer. Luckily for me, I never posted personal stuff, only for causes and comps., so I don’t miss it one bit. Sick to death though of signing petitions and getting requests to post to facecrap. I can understand how infuriating it must be if you were using it for business, or folk overseas, all I can say is do your research very THOROUGHLY, join up elsewhere, don’t give these SCUMBAGS the satisfaction of seeing your frustrations. They REALLY, TRULY, AREN’T WORTH IT.
I MISSED THE OLD FACEBOOK. WHEN FB STARTED, THEY SHOWED IMPORTANCE TO THEIR EVERY USER. IT’S THEIR PRIORITY. BUT NOW FB GOT SUCCESSFUL, THEY DON’T GIVE A SH*T TO SOME THOUSAND USERS ANYMORE.
THEY’RE LIKE “HEY WE DON’T NEED THESE ONE THOUSAND USERS”. WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THIS MUMBO JUMBO IDEA IS BUL*C***. THIS IS NOT FACEBOOK ANYMORE. BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL MILLIONS OF “VALID” USERS, FB DON’T GIVE A SH*T TO ONLY A THOUSAND BLOCKED USERS.
Same thing happened to me when I woke up at 8 this morning. Tried going in my account and it said it was locked because of nudity I NEVER posed nudity which fucking baffles me as to why they’d lock me out?? Also said i have to verify my identity with my Photo ID!!! Third time this has happened. It’s a complete joke. Fuck fb. It’s now 11pm and no reply from them. I even sent them a nice email explaining my situation and guess what NO reply whatsoever . This is pathetic, I’m starting to think I don’t even need fb!!! Because if this just happens all the time why even bother. It’s stupid, and a waste of my time, they need to sort their shit out!!!! How ar they even allowed to pull this bs!!? And won’t be surprised if I don’t get an email anymore because there’s billions of people going thru this also!!! So mad,
Keep your shares, return my account !
wish to play the Government and gods ?
Return my account first ! ,they are both thief and cheater, stolen the friendship connections and years on FB, ,
Now they are The Fuckjoke with its fuck joke Chinese shit.
@Chloe
Facejoke and FUCKaberg will NOT reply, even if you sent those jokers the photo id’s they demand, you’re still locked out.
Facejoke is just a front and a scam to mine personal information from it’s unsuspecting users.
You don’t need faceJOKE! The reason for those games on facejoke is to have people addicted to playing, like a drug. So you’ll return again and again.
To sum it up… FaceJOKE and Mark FUCKaberg are the pimps and the users are the HOEs. All the users are being USED and ABUSED, while those scammers are raking in the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
@Vanilla, fb is not stealing anything from us. They dont need to as each one of us is giving freely our profile data to fb. Who in return sells our data to anyone who would pay for it. Fb is a marketing company for major profits at our expenses. Wake up! The fbCoolAid is addictive!
I was shocked that my account was Disabled because of my Identity I don’twant to use my REAL name because of some issues of my Ex bf…so i Used my nickname But it’s really worried me that my account was linked with another site which is http://profileengine.com/ if you have an account with FAcebook since 2010 they are giving your information with other site. Unfortunately this site is not any longer part of FB but I believe that Fb are stealing info from us and giving that to other site like this…. First i recognized even u delete your pictures some people still search it FB. Second giving info. like Profile engine with out authorization.. 3rd If your Pictures will be upload there will be facial recognition… (i feel scary) but since a lot of my friends using FB I don’t have choice I need to used FB but…this is too much u blocked my FB without any reason…and sending ID Pictures. is not safe… I will never use my account… DAmn FB after u steal and give info. to other site you want to steal our PRIVACY.
Hi guys. from Iran and I have a group in fb with more than 100k memembers. It took me 5years to post many article that I personally translated about meditation into persian language…but now my fb is lock and I thinks its goofvckingitsor me to leave this shitsiteT fb for ever.They are motherfvckerssssssss
I just got this today as well. It is a clear violation of my 5th and 13th amendment as well as extortion (non monetary) under duress. I don’t have the money But, I would like to sue them. (spent money on some games that now thanks to facebook I can’t even play) I even have copies of the violation.
Fb is monopolizing the social media. Can someone plant a virus into them so they can blow up.
Come on Hackers…the public needs you!
This is ridiculous, Facebook is not a Government agency with legal rights to such private information about its users, it also infers that all the friends you have, have lied about who you are, which is insulting to say the least b! Why would anyone give a social website such personal detailed information for ? And Facebook is also definitely not security conscience either, they have been hacked into time and time again, Hitler and the Nazis would have loved a setup like facebook, all the information about peoples thoughts, beliefs, religious affiliations, and sexual preferences in one single place, no scouring to be done anywhere its all there in your facebook ready to be used by whoever and whenever they like ! If facebook really needs to know all about there followers, then the best way to do that is to stop limiting what they can and cannot do, like and say, then you would have a true representation of the types attitudes and likes of all those that participate in this huge social experiment ! Its a very flawed system with a lot of loopholes and no real protection of your personal
details
Very well said! That is exactly what it is, a social experiment – they are watching their flock, but more like ravenous feral dogs or wolves than shepherds. I have told many people of their sleazy tactics – only no-one I have actually told has had this happen to them, or to their friends, apparently. I am absolutely REPULSED by them – glad they have NOT ONE THING on me. Hope they eat shite and die.
FACEBOOK IS NOTHING BUT A FUCKING JOKE IT SUCKS THERE A BUNCH OF FAGS AND ALL THEY DO IS SUCK COCK ALL DAY LONG! FUCK YOU FAGGOT BOOK GOOFS!
An excellent opportunity for somebody to create a new social media site that shuns the tyrannical practice of that invasive Facebook mob.
If anybody suffers from identity theft due to Facebook demands I hope the lawsuit sends that Facebook scam reeling into obscurity and bankruptcy from the massive payout to the folks awarded cumulative billions of bucks in damages.
Who the fuck do Facebook think they are ? No way are they getting my government I’d shove your site where the sun doesn’t shine
yes i am now just starting to get this problem with facebook
i actually have 2 accounts one of them i had in the past but stopped using it due to some past (( lets say no more )) and that account just got locked 5 minutes ago
but my main account i use it is signed up with my first name and middle name i had been using this account for about 6 months always chatting to my girlfriend on it because here we can chat for free that also got locked up a couple of days ago
i may not be a big user of facebook not a heavy poster but it sure is bloody inconvenient when now it limits my ability to communicate with my girlfriend and her family as we are only able to see each other 2 times a week the rest of the week we chat almost all day and now i have to buy frigging credit for my mobile phone to use Viber and thats a royal pain in the ass too
oh well fuck facebook i mean why should we be forced to put our complete name on the front page for the whole bloody world to see anyway most of us like to use a nickname some of us dont want to put our full names up and our date of birth on full display come on lets face it this is the internet not exactly that secure or private is it hell i set all the privacy setting on my FB account so no one can find me unless i add them first yet i keep on getting people i dont know adding me
so facebook can kiss my ass they bang on about privacy yet they demand we use our full names and not allow us the privacy to keep our personal details safe on the net what a bunch of tossers
I need my ID card???????
Zukerberg’s Fuckbook just locked my second account and demanding my personal ID:
1. Passport –
2. Driving licence –
3. State-issued ID card –
4. Military ID card –
5. Immigration ID with signature –
6. Government-issued photo ID –
Here in Europe Union it’s illegal to demand identification if you’re not a government organization or bank!
And they before very often blocked my account for month soon after I posted some anti-democratic and anti-government views. Now I’ll promise for myself – I’ll fight back this nasty Jewish company created by CIA and who very likely working for same CIA and Israeli Mosad, collecting our information for New World Order. Facebook for me like a swear-word! I hate them so much… !
@healing wisdom, You already on the most helpful internet space on this human earth now. be happy and try to survive this disaster in your life, do not be a victim of Fuckjoke any more.
Stand up to make some creative ways to destroy it to heal our pain and bad experience with it. LOL.
I bet there are something in common with all those survivals and victims of Fuckjoke ,whom has come to here.
if you do not mind, we have to find out its pain point of this Fuckjoke and attack it as they attacked us.
Teeth for teeth, blood for blood.
They are GMO Monster now, no more humanbeing organization.
@healing wisdom, i feel your pain. I am in the same boat. Its a lifestyle readjustment without FB. Its a crazy realization to notice how much how daily life depends on FB. Maybe too much. FB takes full advantage of a product that is free to the universe and control its access with its rules to the name of security. Its a marketing strategy for makor profits. FB couldnt care less about its members. We are just data mining for them. Therefore you will never be able to speak to someone at FB.
Does anyone know of any contact info for a human at FB? I complied with uploading my info with no reply. Now I cannot find the case number and have no other way to see status. This is absolutely craziness – I have 6.5 years of history on there – gone. How do I contact them in person to have them release my account for god stake. I have a business page and other third party apps I use with my FB log in that are now hindering my day to day life since they locked me out WTF is going on here – no contact info or proper support help. If you do this make sure people can gain access to a live person to resolve and seek status. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@Healing Wisdom
Dude or Dudette! ZuckerTURD and his minions are working their magic and adding to his billions of dollars with you and millions who are held hostage with the information they put on FaceJOKE. In your case it’s 6.5 years of history.
It takes FaceJoke locking people out and holding their personal information and pics hostage for ransom of your most personal ID’s or Docs…. to make you wake up to the fact that it doesn’t care shit about your privacy. Only cares about mining all your personal information so they can sell it for profit.
So in a nutshell…say Hasta la vista, baby to your history and information! Your mission and all the people locked out of this JOKE of a JOKE scam and sham site is to spread this unknown little dark side of FaceJOKE. Tell your family, friends, co-workers, or even the media that Facebook is a sham and a scam as you unfortunately found out the hard way.
Please let’s not forget that Facebook is first and foremost a marketing tool for profits. The “Social Media” aspect of it is a cover up to attract traffic. FB collects data (data mining) from its members and sells it to vendors for major profits.
I wonder what are their ROI for all these vendors… FB is the only one making the big bucks here and at our own expenses and we are are allowing it freely.
and FB is getting more and more greedy… to the name of new security…
LOL
i m having the same problem named id verification. what the fuck is this facebook…huh.. ? i know u have so many customers all over the world.with our help u suckers have bcom the king of social media…. but look what have done to us after becoming famous.. i means what does that famous asshole think he is (zakarberg)?? Facebook ,i m locked out in fucking verification process fb , my one last qa is that how u treat ur customers ..huh??
Thanks For Your Help We’ll take a look at the documents you submitted and get back to you. If we need more help confirming your name, we’ll reach out for additional documentation. … and so 2 months have passed.. no message from fb at all.. i ask my friends to find me on fb but my name has change to a facebook user and no profile pic in it… since im just a pebble on the road… i dont have enough knowledge on how to solve this problem.. and so good bye to my 3 years account facebook.. good bye my thousands pic and all other unknown friends who always like my posts…
Face book locked me out asking me for all those, im telling everyone! This is a privacy concern for everyone! We post things tht sometimes we dont mean to post so a fake name is all we have to protect ourselves! Anyone can hck the fb servers, it only takes your name x phone# or address for identity theft! Think about this! And lets all join a different social media site! It should be your choice to let people know who you are. We all hve our reasons! For me, i dont want jobs to find me. So seriously guys, this is a threat against our personal privacy!
As I said, the Fuckbook will not do anything ,it is his owner or owner’s employees.
Find them out individually.
Mark Zuckerberg must be higher than I am! I was reported for using a fake name, I have a FB account for one reason, to play Zynga poker. I chose the name Terminatrix cuz I thought it sounded cool and was somewhat intimidating. Of course my account was suspended (along with the millions of poker chips I had on Zynga) and FB asked for id.
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS! FB can go fvck itself, eat a dick up till you hick up Mark! I’ll find somewhere else to play poker and have the FBI watch me.
I’m getting attorney after face book that’s it there going to get shut down I say every body boycott face book they need to know how post off we are we demand our facebooks back
My account is photo id lock Therefore.i confirm
byreol piease.unblockme.thank.
Firstly there is no possible reason why Facebook would need anyone’s photo ID.
Secondly the main reason Facebook are asking for it is because your profile has been reported as FAKE by someone else on Facebook.
Thirdly even IF you send in photo ID and your account is unblocked if anyone else decides to play the same joke and report you AGAIN, your account will be blocked and you`ll have to go through the whole process all over again, and again, and again…
Lastly the dangers of sending a copy of your photo id are obvious and your leaving yourself wide open to fraud and identity theft.
DONT SEND PHOTO ID it’s as simple as that…
It happened to me today.. Even tried to provide ID but there’s no replay and I’m blocked for good. WTF is wrong with facebook that it makes everything worst and worst..
THEY need competition that’s not hostile to it’s customers. FB is now a hostile company to its customers. NO-one should have that kind of power. Bail out if you can.
I just had mine lock! I’ve used my nickname, which is what everyone known me as. now, I’ve lost all my pictures and contacts. I hate Facebook! i will never give them my ID. this is social media, but application for citizen!
You will not regret it. They are a bunch of utter TWATS.
I hate providing accurate information online. For this reason, I made up a birthday for FB, and listed the year as 1914. My name sounds like a fake name, but is not. Recently, I received the Gestapo’s demand for ID. I’ve used and enjoyed my account for 8 years, very low profile and zero anti-TOS activity, so I grudgingly provided a valid driver’s license. Rejected due to mismatched birth dates. I sent it again, in an image and explanation that yes, I used the incorrect birth date, but my govt. ID was the correct date and I’d fix my lie immediately if allowed into my account. I was polite every step of the way. Result: Locked. And “that’s final.” I’m done with FB.
I refuse. They have plonked on my old surname onto my facebook page and it’s impossible to get rid of it. The PW’s never work ever – there IS no help. This guy thinks he has the world at his fingertips. He WILL get competition hopefully and stop being arrogant about another man’s creation –
G-d’s creation. It’s probably the nearest we’ve ever come to what ppl have been saying all through the nineties about some Mark – whoopsie!
I hope so, Pinkz Grace. A monopoly inspires greed and corruption. Down with Sugarberg.
Actually, Fecesbook was the creation of the Winklevoss twins and was stolen by open-borders traitor Zuckerhead.
Facebook just blocked my account, which was using an anagram of my name and not my real name. So I very willingly disobeyed their TOS, and I suppose this is the consequence of that. I consider it a blessing. Now it’s a lot easier for me not to use facebook and get caught up in social media bullshit outrage cycles.
@Neil Nelson.
Online petition doesn’t have any judicial value. Actually, they are very far knowing exact how to use the legislation for their own profit. They have years ahead of you, and they don’t give a s..t about us or our teeny weeny online actions. They just care about power, control and money. The only efficient way to undermine their power is to give up your accounts, close them and never use facebook again.
Neil Nelson, you are right ,and we need to make our experience as an demonstrator to give warnings for those other our friends still alive on fuckjoke, and give another solution to replace it with new drugs .lol
I have been locked out of Facebook for three days now. I wrote a response to FB letting them know i do not wish to give my personal ID information yet they responded back a computerized response on how I can send them identification. What the heck ? Why in gods name would I send my private information over the net to a company i myself cannot get a hold of? There is no way to get a hold of a real life person therefore how can I be sure my info will be deleted or trashed ? I honesty feel this is taking their power too far and anyone falling for this is just a stupid person. Facebook needs to get sued and needs to go to hell!!! I cannot even get back on to delete my account which bothers me even more so. Had I had warning of this I would of closed it down right away. This is why they did not warn anyone. FB is information gatherers.
Of course you cannot get back your information or ask for deletion, for the simple reason that Facebook doesn’t delete anything. Facebook is a private company which complies with Californian laws only, and this is the reason some countries have already ban them. They are keeping track not only of your private information, which is about 10 percent, but your online behaviour, groups, interests, they have programmes and bots designed to get every piece of information.
I’m the latest victim.of.this bullshit I have a had my acct as long as fb 1st started I have sent them my id’s but edited. They still have not yet check the id’s and did any one of you recovered your acct? This is bull shit!I’m from the Philippines and have no ways have a law to say to them to change thier minds to give back my ac ct. It’s been 3 days now going on 4th no word from them
Zuckerberg is a big jerk for mAking us do this what he is doing is illegal and there fore he must stop I think regular Facebook users and rpers should band together and stop this bastard
I too am locked out of an account I’ve had since few people had even heard of facebook because they’ve decided they don’t like my name. on the page displayed to me there was no mention of deleting the data, they stated they would “store” it. I don’t think so!! time we all exited en-masse and went over to Ello, the only language these idiots speak is money and a big drop in numners would hit them in the balance sheet.
For sure- fb page was locked.. here is the link:
https://www.ghacks.net/2013/10/29/facebook-asking-locked-users-provide-government-id/
admins and handlers definately SEEM in need energy… with this one… will observe how many other SITES follow … have had this lesson already… great way to get to write a book…. without a pen OR paper.
If this is not a TEST and is the New Open Source .. Please send a link to (PERMANATELY DELETE.) the account.. I did injoy using face book as one great Book Mark for things that help SMH… back to ram drive… sounds like a joke.. none of the games were that great though…
Below is the reply I just sent to Fuckjoke’s security team ,after get a letter from those piece of shit :
Your personal IDs verification request, is a violation of personal privacy.
If your team can reveal your personal and family privacy to me, I will have no objection to exchange for mine.
That is the fair game to play for me, otherwise ,I take your as piece of shit ,and women.
S.O.B ! The one setup the trap to blocked my F.B account and make FB a FuckJoke in my life ..lol
I could not say any more dirty on this piece of your shit, but I am praying for you.
In God we Trust ,that is on the paper note.
In Fuckbook, We dont trust you, that is on our heart and soul. You will know where you will end up , the once great F.B.
Locked out of my Facebook account and the ransom is surrending my most personal IDs or Docs to release my account back to me. LMFAO! Yes, so a random employee can use the doc or ID to use and abuse. LOL!
Hey Suckerberg! You can lick my Facebook account in the a$$$$$$$! I knew Facebook was or is a JOKE, a SCAM, and a SHAM! I’m just glad I used no real information about me or posted any pics on my account.
It takes FaceJoke locking people out and holding their personal information and pics hostage for ransom of your most personal ID’s or Docs…. to make you wake up to the fact that it doesn’t care shit about your privacy. Only cares about mining all your personal information so they can sell it for profit. Whatever it it takes to do so!
For those idiots giving this sham company their ID or Doc information…say hasta la vista, baby to your personal information! Plus you’re still locked out!!! SMH
Sir, you have made the most accurate ,facts and truth comments about the now FuckJoke !
My salute !
Let’s spread the truth about Facejoke ,or Fuckjoke to awake all the people slaved by it
John
I just wish this Ghacks.net will not be brought by Fcukjoke ï¼ lol
I do not think anyone can help you to recovery them, even if you knee down to submit all your real IDs.
From what I saw on this page here, no one is successfully recovered his IDs.
The only way out ,is to organized to attach, to fight back ,legally or personally.
You may try to recovery some of your post or photos and friends, by ask your friends, or you apply another new account with your government IDs, to access you timeline, if it still alive.
They given me 7 days to prepare those IDs, but I written on the same day to stop my Facebook account, and call them Fuckjoke
Let them go to hell.
What a shit, how come they locked the account without any notification , i have hundreds of friends connected and many local groups, not sure how come they can ask for such Govt issues IDs and wastage of my time, Extreme disappointed , i will quit forever if that is the case ? Any one can halp me to recover my contacts , messages and posts :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
Sorry, but say Hasta la vista, baby to your contacts and posts!
Facebook wants your ID and of personal docs (even ask for SS#) to mine more personal information like your work, your home address, school, DOB, your fuzzy wuzzy mug shot…. oh my! They can even assume your identity. Now that you realize Facebook is a joke, cut your looses and quit forever! Also, tell your friends, family, co-workers to QUIT before they are LOCKED OUT! GIVE THEM HEADS UP TO REMOVE ALL THE PICS AND PERSONAL INFORMATION before they suffer the same fate as the people here.
It takes FaceJoke locking people out and holding their personal information and pics hostage for ransom of your most personal ID’s or Docs…. to make you wake up to the fact that it doesn’t care shit about your privacy. Only cares about mining all your personal information so they can sell it for profit.
Facebook and their employees are low life’s who just suck people’s personal information. Whatever it takes to make a buck!
The good thing about FaceJOKE locking people out and demanding their Gov ID’s or Docs is that it just verifies and exposes them as the leeches and the lowest life forms of a SHAM business / company!
Locked out. Will they delete my account after a period of time if I do not provide ID? Gutted as not only will I lose contacts and miss features like events (useful for gigs and birthdays/social events) I’ll lose chat/post history and pictures with my now deceased best friend. I have tweeted asking for a backup of my data but I’m not holding out much hope :(
there are software Socialsafe ,which can help you backup all your fuckjoke files, at least most of it, if they have give your some 7 days before blocked you there.
Facebook is a shit, they have no authorization to ask our personal information , and for my understanding of this situation , may be only a few person have really recovered his accounts ,after submitted their IDs.
We have to fight back on Fuckjokes ,and give them a lesson some how or some way, let them suffer as us one day.
Facebook kicked me out and claim they need my ID for verification.
1) how can they verify if I have never shared my picture(s) on Facebook, so why do they need my ID? (To steal my identity, as Facebook employees may not all be legal or even working in USA, but elsewhere ie India, China, & etc)
2) why would Facebook care if my account is legit or not? I am already logging in and that is their goal, member to log in
3) having an acc on Facebook already creates more members on Facebook, so why is Facebook abusing that?
Has anyone been able to log in their account once they have been blocked by Facebook for no reason?
My Facebook account is business account and I have all my clients in that account. Can someone please advice what to do? Thanks
Fuckjoke is blackmail us ,that is all the truth and facts.
JF， you must do not understand what’s happen now about our verify story.
They send request specify to ask our IDs documents, those shit fuck pigs working behind Fuckjoke…
Yes, no one should submit our private information to them, until, unless we want to make it a personal matter like gentlemen.
They must hate us for what our behavior on FB, and do not want free speech any more.
LOL, crowd Facebook, since he married that Chinese women.
How can you guys give your personal information and ID to a Californian private company? For many of you who got into this, you can easily verify your account while in vacation, in nomatterwhere and you buy this local sim card, either mobile internet, either phone calls. I got my suspended account verified in Thailand and since then, never had any issues. Never give your personal data to private entities.
Once you following fuckbook request to send your ids, you become victim of it. lol
We need to organized to fight back those S.O.B working behind .
Do you mind to disclose what you think that make your blocked ?
I was in the middle of a Fucking conversation and they lock the fuck out. And asked me for ID ? I mean , i sent them my Government ID , Driver license. No respond , the Page wont even loads now. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS??? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NO MORE FUCKBOOK , SCREW IT ASSHOLES
FB closed my account for verification of my docs, I’ve even submitted them and it has been 2 weeks ago, there’s a msg now “verification of your documents is in process, we would contact you again if we need further assistance” can anyone say how much time it actually takes?
Dude! Most likely FaceJOKE just took the personal docs you’ll submitted and it’s in a employee’s hands to use and abuse. I can see how people would surrender their personal id docs to this sham organization. You have your warm and fuzzy personal information and pics and not locked out of your account. I knew faceJOKE is a JOKE, a SCAM, and a SHAM. Glad I used no real information about me or posted any pics.
It takes FaceJoke locking people out and holding their personal information and pics hostage for ransom of your most personal ID’s or Docs…. to make you wake up to the fact that it doesn’t care shit about your privacy. Only cares about mining all your personal information so they can sell it for profit.
So in a nutshell…say Hasta la vista, baby to your docs!
The feeling to submit your id to those shit working for that Fuckbook ,must be the same as been raped.
Guy, stop submit anything ,nothing should be submitted to them, and fuck them up, that is the only right way.
It keeps trying to get me to identify people, with the most obscure pictures that they can find ! How can you Identify a person by a picture of a Butterfly or some obscure picture that the person may have downloaded from somewhere and put in their photo album ? It defies belief ! And NO they will not get any of my personal documentation and neither will they get my mobile number ! I hope people realize if another Hitler came to power, how so easily F@cebook has made it for them to sort out who is who,and how they think, they could track anyone down in minutes using the information F@cebook has hoarded ! I really wish more English speaking people would use VK.com its just as good, without all the anal laws,bylaws and snooping that F/book has !
They did that butterfly thing to me too. Do they really expect me to know who posted it?
I think VK.com is Russia, which will be more dangerious for people like me or us.
Let’s make up a new social media to replace them once for all.!
Yeah, the cretins hit me today too ! What is all this BS about ? Why do they have to know everything about you ? Half the time you cannot even add friends, even the suggestions they themselves give you ! This is an invasion of privacy big time, did you know you can view people pics and likes even though those people only let their friends supposedly view them, and FBook has made it very easy to do, in fact it is hidden in plain site ! 40% of users are probably Bogus, fictitious characters just out to play games or communicate with friends incognito , why not, they are still seeing all the advertisements, whats the real problem F/book ?
I was blocked too. I didn’t think twice about ‘proving’ my identity. I’m a Libertarian! I guess I’m just one the sheep. I have all my photos uploaded on fb. All my friends live far away and I don’t have any in the city I live now. I’ve completely succumbed and surrendered my life to this stupidity. I’m just being honest. What a wake up call. I feel bad for my kids and all the other kids who have no clue what it’s like to be a free thinking, autonomous, spirited being. And our parents thought TV was bad for us.
Let’s find out whom is working behind those sections at Facebook ,and dig out their personal and family identification and make it in public of this page of facebook shit and dirty policy.
I do not want to be a victim of facebook, and I know there must some individuals is behind all of this.
Eyes to eyes, tooth to tooth.
Let’s do something meaningful to give them a lesson, not simply complaint and let it go.

Locked out of my Facejoker account by FaceJOKE! Demanded I provide some government ID. Even list Social Security card as an option. What a fricking JOKE! Glad I didn’t posted any pictures or names at all. I knew Facejoke was a scam and a sham. Always asked for all kinds of personal information when I logged in. Like School, name of city I lived in, and all kinds of personal stuff they can sell to make $$$$$$$. I didn’t fall for any of there request or more like demands for information.
I’ll be laughing when FaceJOKE becomes as relevant as MySpace….. FaceJoke your 15 minutes of fad is at 14 minutes!!!
i did all but in vain
here is thier message?

So there i was about to respond to my friend on messanger when all of the sudden “BAM” im locked out of facebook, its sad because i lost so many friends that i talk too on a daily basis, when will it ever come bqck and why is it targeting conservitave christian gun owners? Or is it just me?
Yup, me too, just a couple days ago…pictures, friends list, paid work via my contacts, groups and forums for animal and human rights activism – it’s all been made unavailable to me without so much as a how-do-you-do…… and I refuse to send this hack outfit ANY of my personal, govt issued ID – who the hell do they think they are???
Millions of asshats on FaceBook with fake names and abusive, horrible accounts touting all kinds of racism, sexism, hate mongering, animal cruelty, exhibitionism, etc etc etc and they lock me out of MY account – probably because an asshat with a fake name didn’t like my opinion on some topic or other and decided to burn me – fuck that!!!
I’m so mad I could spit – YOU SUCK, FACEBOOK!!!!
This is really ridiculous, zukerberg should have proper mechanism in his working rather asking locked users to provide their identity. Zukerberg failed with his facebook app and he bought whatsapp and i heard he is selling personal details from back door. Unexpected things not only degrades corporate image but also trust.
If they don’t let me back on to continue my connecting with various human and animal rights activists I will focus on suing them and getting my information back.
It’s a totally free voluntary service though. Don’t think they’re legally obliged to do shit for ya m8.
Today I’m Locked out of facebook without any reason i used a nickname, sent ID but still no access
Please any solutions
Best regards
My FB account just got blocked. Now asking for Govt. ID. F**K OFF Facebook. I ain’t buying this bullshit of yours.
Are people going to start a huge class-action suit over this? I’m interested in hearing more about it if so! We were NOT informed publicly via fb that this was being done, and then suddenly they pull this stunt! It seems nothing more than a means to steal users personal photos and information! Everyone should be outraged and something should be done.. globally!
Fuck Facebook, I need to focus on Twitter now, they made me cry….
Zuckerberg can go fuck himself and his entire family and dickheads staffs… I hate Facebook for what they did to me, all my photos gone, friends, family members gone….. Likes gone,fuck Facebook, I am not sending my ID!!!!!!! Argggggghhh
I have been booted off too, for no reason. It’s like living we are all living in a dictatorship. I have messaged FBook and told them that I won’t be uploading any of my private and personal info to their site. The FEDS probably have all our info anyway. What is it Mr Zuckerberg have you sold your soul to the devil.
Zuckerberg sold his soul from the moment he stole Facebook’s idea from the Winklevoss brothers and Divya Narendra.
I think he married that Chinese women is a spy from commie China, and they do this to comply with commie China slavation laws to make money.

Im a UFO website and human rights facebook page, post a lot about US crimes against humanity lol says it all, Ive posted multiple articles stating Facebook creators did not create Facebook, the NSA did and them kids just developed it for the NSA and got fame as the creators, funny their lives are hell right now with suspicious deaths, thats what happens when u sell your soul to the devil. Well UFOs are the most censored in history of media. explains it all. FB FB(I) Face Book Investigator
Keep up the good work and keep spreading the TRUTH. #Respect x
FB shut my account and requested for government issued identify… why? This is ridiculous!
I Sent Facebook 4 Real Birth Certificates Call All My ID Fake I’m Fed Up With These Jerks Run Business Education Page

Facebook locked me out. I was using a nickname and my initials. I’m an Administrator of a 20k people Facebook group! This is ridiculous! Been locked out since yesterday. I have many pictures and contacts I need! Help!
Facebook shut my account down 2 weeks ago, siting ‘fake name use.’ They’re right, i didn’t use my real name when i signed up in 2011. Gosh! I Didn’t even know much about social media back then. So i named myself after my favorite African meal. I was informed that someone had reported the name. Why on earth would somebody be bothered about the name of an African food? I never in million years thought it would be a problem. Never had a issue with that account, just went on there to look at wedding dresses and to read celebrity gossip. One day i had it, the next day it was gone. 4 years of pictures, posts, comments, memories, all gone, all lost and all because i named myself after an African food. I didn’t send Facebook my government id so my account remains shut down.
Because some libtard was “offended” by your name.
locked my account for nothing as well ,they let me spend all my time trying to make friends then suddendly closed ,it s unjust ,it s betrayal
After years of facebook, I’ve got my account suspended. They are asking me now to upload a personal ID to unlock my account. I consider that this is totally an abuse to our identity and to our personal information. Facebook is no legal state authority, and has no rights to request personal ID’s or personal documents. They are taking our data abusively and they are collecting information about us into their database. Think about how many users are being abused in this way.
I am just a simple user and you are probably not interested what is my name, or where do I live.
The point is that we are loosing control on our lives and we are being forced to send them our personal information. Every personal information is protected by law in each country of this world.
We have legal rights, why don’t we use them ?
I don’t know about others, but…I don’t need facebook anymore. The friends we have should be part of our real life, not some pictures shown on a desktop.
Regards !
I agree… and I am sure that we all have MOther Earth and Justice in commum
Locked out of facebook today because they said I was using a different device than normal. I’m using the same laptop I’ve been using for years. I rarely use FB and was only logging in to check for messages from my kids. They want a copy of my government issued photo ID to verify my identity. I have no photo’s of myself on FB, what are they going to compare my ID to? My FB uses my full actual name and date of birth. They can contact me using my email, which is the only information that is needed to make the dam account and the only thing that they need to verify. This is so obviously an attempt to create a database of names, photo’s, dates of birth etc. Uploading a copy of my passport can’t be legal. Not a chance, my kids can just go back to using email to contact me, screw Facebook.
Locked out of facebook because i used a nickname, sent ID but still no access
Have sent ID several times ……still locked and have not heard from one soul on these blogs THAT EVER got BACK INTO their accounts !!!!!!!! ????
Shutterstock also asked for ID before I could even start uploading my vectors in there…
My partner and myself were just locked out of Facebook this week. We’re relatively certain a jealous woman we dealt with recently issued the report.
Both of us are extremely uncomfortable providing the documentation asked for.
Thing is? I have a stalker and -can’t- use my legal name safely on the internet. Family and friends all know me as the name used in Facebook so why isn’t the pseudonym ok? It’s not like I was spamming or doing anything objectionable.
Guess I’ll have to find another way to share with them.
Facebook aka Tracebook is obviously a front for the NSA. The crazy thing is they are barely even trying to hide it anymore. Not only do they ban people who post anything that can be considered political dissent, but they have the audacity to have a policy like this. A free social media site asking people to present photo ID and use their real name just to participate.
Who benefits from such a policy? Only the government period.
I was very open about my hatred for the Government on FedBook, I live in the UK. This is nothing short of censorship. George Orwell was right in so many ways.
Time to tell FEDBook to pole off and we can all ‘meet’ elsewhere online where we won’t be monitored or asked for ID.
Screw you NSA GCHQ.

my fb account locked… he is real.. How to unlock .. how to upload Govt. proof ??? please help.
Not only am I locked out, but it also means I can not access my page anymore to update.
I absolutely refuse to send facebook a legit federal id, and equally I won’t spend money to buy a fake id just to circumvent facebook.
I did find an android app for creating fake id’s however all the id’s have this stupid text that says “fake id generated by” on them.
I am looking still for some sort of service where we can type in a name, and an IMAGE of a REAL LOOKING id being displayed to us.
I don’t care if its an id, a birth cert, or any other facebook approved “valid document”.
Perhaps some of our more tech. inclined friends will be able to create something for us along these lines just for this purpose.
I am certain fake id’s are illegal but I am not so sure that images of fake id’s are and thats all facebook is asking for.
You can find all kinds of birth certificates in Bing ……..Just look for images of them and fix you one up :) Dont expect to get into your account though ……….they still dont FN let you back in !!!!!!!!! I have not heard of ANYONE who got back in …EVEN WITH …….providing ID’s !!!!!!
Fuck Facebook and fuck Zuckerberg! I refuse to give my real name and phone number for privacy reasons.
Well said. #Respect
My account was “temporarily blocked”. I bought a software from a guy’s WSO (Warrior Site Offer), I wanted the special software he was offering and the bonuses. The instructions for getting the bonuses was to send him a request message via his facebook page. I sent him a message with the proof of payment information so he would see that I purchased via his affiliate link. My account was instantly deleted. I was not logged into facebook at the time sent him the request.. I just do not understand why I was blocked. I had done nothing wrong. I am so frustrated like everyone else here. After submitting the picture of my license (which after reading everyone’s comments I now regret), the page turns to a white screen and nothing happens. I have no idea if facebook received it or not. After going through all of the other phone and captcha verifications, I should not have to do anything more. I am not surprised that they are abusive towards people… They have a huge amount of power from being so popular and they feel that they can treat people terribly if they want to. They have zero accountability.
my accout as been locked
My daughter’s account has been locked and she is travelling and the only way we have to reach her is via facebook. What should I do?
Look man I didn’t sign up for face to get locked out. The crap y’all got goin on is bull. If I rate facebook I rate with half a star cause the only good thing is that when ur on Facebook u can meet family and friends u haven’t met in a long time until Facebook pulls some stupid stuff like this.
I was just recently locked out of my account that I was using for professional purposes instead of my other one that I use as entertaining purposes. I told them they had until the 27th of this month to resolve it. They are causing me to lose clients and money because of it. My advice to everyone,find a new site!
Anyone please guide
Facebook blocked my account for security reasons, I provided them with my driving license but they said I should provide them ID too.
I provided them my ID and since then no reply, its been more than a week how long I would need to wait
Or you can just create a new account. I’m on my 4th happy camper account.
I gave them my actual passport and they won’t accept it as a government issued ID. FaceBook customer service is god-awful.
I did not know about this policy until yesterday evening when I was locked out of my account. I don’t believe it’s because of what they are saying, I think it’s a load of crap. Why would they even care what names we are using? Every other social media site allows their users/members to use nicknames. A lot of people have a problem using their real names on the Internet anyways, so this is a major violation problem. What they are asking of us is not right and personally I think it’s a little creepy. I can understand if they want us to show just our names, but they want our names, birth dates, and a photo too? No thanks. Facebook is not important to me to give personal information out like that. Hell, our online banks don’t even ask us for IDs, so why should we have to with Facebook?
I eMailed this to two random Facebook executives who’s eMails I found on Google….
1) I believe the information you are asking for is not to be given to you under UK data-protection legislation without good reason. As I hold a Facebook page under the name I was born with, the name I use to register most of my Internet accounts/memberships with; the fact that you’re telling me my name is ‘not allowed’ is NOT (in my own opinion) a good enough reason for me to pass private information or images of private documents to you, without more assurances than the vague claim of subsequent destruction you make.
2) I believe this matter is either down to; A) the attempts myself and several others were making for the last few weeks to get the fascist National British Resistance sites of Mr. Joshua Bonehill shut down…something you were as reticent to do as you have proved with to be with Jihadist or animal torture sites like dog-fighting, or; B) an attempt to obtain – BY DECEPTION – information you can then use for commercial gain.
3) You already obtain commercial gain from me by the advertising you place in front of me, and on my timeline as viewed by others. There was no problem with my name when I registered or for the subsequent 13 months I have been using your service?
4) Therefore I have to assume there is no REAL problem with my account at all, but rather a manufactured one for either of the points in 2 – above. As you have floated yourselves on the market, your need for users (of your service) is greater than my need for Facebook, which I resisted for years, only joined to stop a few friends whinging and find to have some poor interfaces and a less than clear structure/format vis-Ã -vis settings. It is also cripplingly heavy on data-use for someone like me with a pay-as-you-go dongle.
5) Please either unblock my page ([Personal details removed]) OR send me an eMail detailing the specific problem you have with the name I use, which I was born with and which I also use on Blogger, Google+ and Amazon OR return all my images and original copy, and close my account, providing evidence of its having been closed.
6) If you chose the last option in 5) above, please accept fair warning that following the deletion of my page, by you, any and all subsequent notifications, requests or advertisements by you, your agents or nominated representatives, by electronic or traditional mail, text or in person toward or directly aimed at me will be considered further-harassment and invoiced by me to your London Office at £100 damages per action/incident, to be recovered – in the event you fail to pay the invoices by the due date/s – in the UK’s County Court service via the fast-track, small claims facility.
7) I retain the right to republish this image, or a text version of the words upon it as and where I see fit.
…I was back-on FB first thing Monday…this always seems to happen over weekends?
Please share thier email address as i searched on Google but in vain
Which emails did you write to?
I’ve been blocked yesterday, and I haven’t got an answer yet, from anyone… such a shame how crappy ther help service is…
I supplied the eMail…Ghacks must have deleted it, understandable…but ironic! Just google “Facebook exceutive’s eMail” that’s all I did!
How did things work out, and can you provided the names of the FB Exec you sent your letter to. My account has been suspended and this whole Id thing is just too much.
from 2013 http://www.thedrum.com/news/2013/10/29/facebook-apologises-requesting-users-login-government-id
“and maybe also at times to verify account ownership after a hacking attempt.”
I wonder why facebook seems to be having this problem with “hacking attempt” and feels the only way to resolve is to have a user upload a copy of a picture of a gov ID? I have not seen any reports from any of the other 3 largest email providers (yahoo, google, and microsoft) doing this. There is pieces of this puzzle that still need to be revealed. Love the comments. Very informative.
” I have not seen any reports from any of the other 3 largest email providers (yahoo, google, and microsoft) doing this. There is pieces of this puzzle that still need to be revealed.”
The piece that is missing is that Facebook is amassing tons and tons of unbelievably accurate user data that they will or are selling to the highest bidder …. And they are using that information to experiment on you ….
http://www.wsj.com/articles/furor-erupts-over-facebook-experiment-on-users-1404085840 — http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/02/facebook-sorry-secret-psychological-experiment-users — http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/09/facebooks-mood-manipulation-experiment-might-be-illegal/380717/ — http://www.wired.com/2014/06/everything-you-need-to-know-about-facebooks-manipulative-experiment/
I guess I’m the latest of the Exiled … and the attempted id extortion by FB ….. Never send ANYONE your id or ANY personal information over the internet … I had re-posted Truth to a Political site and shortly there after I was booted…. I was pissed/shocked at first but now I am proud that MY voice had to be silenced by the politically motivated…. I may return to face book, but this time with a reason, as they have just created a political ACTIVIST … ( formerly known on FB as “Did Youmissme” )
I am with you on that. It is so easy to be victime of browser malware, among other things. It is just to dangerous to be uploading a document file to a java scripted page popup. I wonder what thier former and current chief technology officer has to say about this. So far I have not seen any public comment from them. Any of you have any additional info ??
Hello:
It happened top me also. I was stupid to comply and send them a scanned copy of my passport. It took them a day to answer me this:
((( Hi,
Thanks for your reply. At this time, we can’t give you access to this account or continue with your request because you either:
– Haven’t sent a form of ID that we can use to verify your identity
– Sent us documentation that doesn’t match the name, photo or date of birth listed on this Facebook account
)))
Which is totally strange as the information are exact match to the FB profile. I replied to ask further clarifications, and if they don’t answer me exactly what does not match, I am stopping using this shit called Face Book. I am in a way nearly decided that that is it, and fuck Facebook, and may be they did me a favor. No more fucking Face Book.
Facebook at approximately 11:15 p.m.eastern standard time, is asking for my Gov’t I.D. photo,or other relevant PERSONAL i.d. information. I m done with FACEBOOK if this is the case,and going to a better less INTRUSIVE my space,and developing my own sites,etc.
This is outlandish,and now?
I think we need to start a petition,or a class action lawsuit against Facebook.By leaving just a comment here will nt change it.I just learned my friend of the family said,he receive this msg.,when he log in just minute ago,to him and his BROTHER in law too?
Mark got the lengthy msg.below:
–
Mark W—tz,

Passport
Driver’s license
State-issued ID card
Military ID card
Immigration ID with signature

I am done with FACEBOOK if i can’t get back in my own account since like 8 YEARS AGO, i m done with facebook if this happen again,when i try to log in soon. MARK is giving up on em,and filing a complaint,and will not be on if this is the case.
IF YOU ALL WANT TO SUE FACEBOOK for this,or a petition complaint email me when it is started.
Peace
adios.
I woke up this morning to my account locked too. I just put $25 in facebook credits on my account before I went to sleep, so I FEEL ROBBED as well.
How can this be legal??? you put MONEY on an account and then BAM they lock you out, taking your money?????? if ANYONE else on the planet did that they would be in prison, yet facebook has their terms of service that pretty much immunizes them from EVERY sort of possible liability.
this is not the first time this has happened to me yet i am SHOCKED and pissed off.
it is a sunday and there likely isn’t anyone even there to reply or check my ID anyway.
Is there ANY WAY to complain to the investors?????
Unfortunately they don’t give a fuck about you or your account because they now have 1.6 billion users so one user is expandable . Follow this petition to help us bring them to book https://www.change.org/p/daniel-lipinski-dan-miller-petition-to-make-facebook-improve-customer-support?recruiter=485196542&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
I wont to sue them .
do it ,organize an campaign on Indiegogo or Kickstarter !
Yes, lets
Looks like I am not the only one treated like crap by face book. I just read all the angry comments by outhers who for no reason have been shut out . I agree with all of u. I am one of many. Fcuk you facebook. R. I. P.
Facebook rejects names with less than 3 characters and so people have to invent names to have an account.
Then FB proceeds to ask you to verify with an ID with the exact same name which they rejected.
Their brilliant idea is just stupid.
I think they ostracize the Asian population with short names like “Li”, “Du”, “To”,”Ye”, “Ke”, “Lu” etc.
After verifying the capcha, and sending the confirmation text via phone, I was allowed on. 20 minutes later, I was logged out and had to repeat the process to “pass their security check”. Then another 20 minutes later, I was logged out, and had to repeat the process. Then a 3rd time, same deal. 3 Security checks an hour?
After the 4th time, I was logged out..and asked to verify using mobile number. And guess what? Facebook said “you have already activated an account with this number”? Well DUH. Does Facebook want me to have TWO cellphones? Then they gave me the ID request thing.
but,did u get thru ABANDON?
i am confuse a lil .
smh
Those bastards blocked my account yesterday. I was using that bullshit facebook for 4 yrs with my name and without violating any rules. But i got back that as a reward. Now these bastards wants me to recognize my friends and shows some flower or cats as question. That means those arrogant bastards will never give me back my account. Fuck u zuckerberg and all your dickhead staffs.
Am the latest victim. yesterday 11th Dec 2014, they locked my account and demanded my ID coz apparently they dont believe the name am using is actually mine (got a unique name though ) .I obliged and sent them my photo ID, an our later I receive an email that am supposed to reply to with my full names as the message(the very same names they’re denying ). Today is 2nd Day & still nothing has happened. This is my fifth YEAR on FB & I strongly believe that I’ve not violated any of their policies.
THIS IS SOOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!
One can fake a document they request using PhotoShop or something similar, e.g. a utility bill, library card or ID for you local gym. These are not official government IDs so it’s no offense, esp. if u live outside the US.
My account got locked out too ughhh.. why do I have to send a government ID? is Facebook sort of a government entity, a bank or whatever that I have to provide IDs? It’s just a social networking site! It’s meant to be fun! I should have freedom to do what I want, internet is a free world.. What’s worse is I still receive notifications in my email! how can I stop them from emailing me? I want to delete this account not lock this in their system forever. I hate you now Facebook!!!
My account was locked this morning and I had to provide my ID copy I was very shocked and very scary. But because I have my business pages on my account I gave in and I know a very stupid decision I made. Can someone investigate Facebook please scary.
Not for the usa SORRY https://www.fbclaim.com/ui/page/faqs.
Two weeks back I successfully completed my PPI exam (Protection of Personal Informatiom) Never ever give ur DOB,Address,Full names etc to social media or anyone u don’t trust.it also happened to me, my account is locked until I upload my government IDto fb which is will NEVER happen
Facebook is allowing malevolent trolls to report legitimate facebook pages, which then get hit with the requirement for providing photo IDs, etc. But many of these sites are community organizations that don’t have a “photo ID”, or any credit cards or utility bills to provide. Facebook has fallen for the trolls’ complaints and now many legitimate organizations are banned from facebook. Facebook needs to change this insanity, or everyone will be migrating to other sites instead.
Yes indeed. May of these trolls are folks who are trying to win their political activities by attacking the opponents who are with lesser financial resources. Please help sign and spread this petition.
https://www.change.org/p/facebook-stop-forcing-users-to-display-their-real-name
I read all comments and you guys are so funny. It’s illegal. It is identity theft. If everyone should go to local police and report facebook (as ridiculous as it would be) as a private Californian entity, which is asking for your local ID, then maybe you will stand a chance. Otherwise all your mumble jumble tricks will just re-invent them, making them better. And anyway, by now, facebook knows everything about you, including your mobile and your real name , because you logged-in already one time using the mobile app. So good luck people.
You are not serious. They cannot be sued as identity theft, not by a long shot. It’s like, hey this guy steal my things, but I gave it to him. It’s rather funny.
This happened to me when I woke up this morning. You want to know what I did? I uploaded a picture of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara giving them the middle finger xD I hope they like it.
Did they like it? If they do, I’ll do the same. :D
The worst part of this is, when we refused to provide our government ID, facebook continues to lock us out regardless if we have purchased game points. This is a conduct of fraudulent business.
Please petition for them to lift it, even for some of you who intend to leave facebook, a signature from you will help.
https://www.change.org/p/facebook-stop-forcing-users-to-display-their-real-name
this is happening to many of us, now I am a victim too. yes it’s on my facebook too.
Frankly speaking, if we want real people as friend. we dont have to use facebook, a lot of online people are fake. myspace does not need people show their ID cards too. if I want to be real I would go out of my home to make friends, not to use internet.
many people online are very fake.
Facebook is not legal dept (police) or your country government, can we report this to our local police?
steal people ID card is crime. do facebook staff know that?
if we want real we dont need facebook. facebook also contains black heart people who always report other people without reason.
many times my account got lock. got ban. photo identify , because many lifeless facebookers only sue sue sue sue sue. I dont like facebook very much.
these yrs I read facebook complain and posts, a lot of people got disabled because facebook think that they are fakers.
I come to facebook to play facebook games. to have fun.
not to prove I am real.
I USE FACEBOOK NOT TO PROVE I AM REAL./ if I WANT PROVE I GO REALPICS.net.
if I want to prove I am real , I would prefer salute on Realpics.net. not use facebook
use facebook is to ahve fun, to connect with people, not to PROVE THAT I AM REAL
Really facebook is a piece of shit !
I was chatting with my friend and then suddenly this hsit appeard that I have to give them my ID and etc Fuck them ! there are millions of fake accounts that has taken no ID nor driver license !
If i don’t have a car will I be fucked up this is Stupid I really hate facebook !
FUCK ’em
yes many times fake accounts steal people photo facebook not care. some even cyberbully a lot of facebookers that facebook never concern, once abnormal psycopaths complain your profile facebook will lock you and force you ID card. very bad online platform. even myspace is better.
Who the F#$K cares? I have to agree with a comment I read above: “Nobody should have to bow down to this”! They’re right! What cracks me up, is they act like this and ask for all of this personal information ON A FREE WEBSITE!, lol, the screwed up thing is, it’s so easy to get kicked off of facebook! I”ve been kicked off now 2 or 3 times already. Basically, all anybody has to do is flag your stuff; whether it’s bad, inappropriate, offensive, or not bad, inappropriate, or offensive, and you’re all the sudden ‘Investigated”! CRAP! That’s what happened to me, bunch of haters that don’t like me did that to me! FACEBOOK IS GAY anyway; try TAGGED.COM; it’s funner, better, without the dictatorship you’re subjected to on F$%K Book; Oh, I mean FACEBOOK! Not to mention they work with and cooperate too closely with the Feds and with Law Enforcement;;; Nuff said; F#$K THAT! I don’t get down with Feds or PIGS!
it’s very easy and very fast to be kicked out by facebook yes you are right. many people suddenly got disabled and can no longer log
I had rp accounts on Facebook and a few of them all encountered the same issue including disabling now seriously I think zuckerburg needs to lighten up and stop this nonsense and I also think everyone here should contact the better business bureau about this atrocious act zuckerburg is doing and have him arrested for illegal behavior
Please don’t show us pics of his pregnant wife. He is not a celebrity. He zuckered everyone in and thinks he is some kind of entity.
Yes happened to me too. I was using a pet’s name as my way of hiding on Facebook and got blocked. Now I photoshopped an ID and can’t load it because when I log in I get a redirect page that is blank. I can’t even “comply” with their stupid request. For a social media page???
It’s still happening. I just got banned for refusing to submit my government ID. Who are they to tell me what name I can use? Absurd.
This information collecting has gotten out of control, and my privacy is not guaranteed, plus, if i want to avoid people finding me, that should be MY choice NOT theirs. If i want family and/or friends on my page i should be the one to choose if i want to remain anonymous be found or find people. If they say its to protect others-its B.S. I joined the site as a fun thing and to not have them dictate or influence what i do. Not to stalk or hunt people down, and anyone who puts all their info out there is an idiot to begin with. (No offense to those). If its on the web, its open to be hacked
I was locked out two weeks ago and they wanted an ID. Was traveling and couldn’t do it till tonight. Now I can’t even get Facebook to load anything on my computer. No a single page loads. No create new account, no help center, NOTHING!!! Does anyone have an email for them?
You have to show your ID card to them, girl. if you are real. they only respond if you show your legit ID card to them. if ID is fake they dont open account.
they’re still doing it .. but selectively.. based on how disturbing to the sheep the content is !
i just can’t see how any one can trust them with business.. I have seeing many many reports of people who are being blocked who run groups, fan pages. And some are doing it as a service to client businesses.. and getting locked out can cause many problems for the administration of a fan page or group. The future for facebook is looking alot more like Myspace, the further i research this.
You have to regard any FB account as a throwaway one. You never know when you’ll lose it.
Just happened to me today! I run my business through Facebook too.
Well, they’re at it again it seems. I posted a _gently_ critical comment on a thread a couple days ago and suddenly WHAM they want a sample of my DNA and absolute rights to the soul of my firstborn…. well, my government ID anyways :-)
You know what FB ? You can sick my duck :-)
xxxxxx
I think there is a flaw in the name reporting systems coding. And it has hole in it in which other users can report another user as not using real name. And if they have an army of zombie accts, can get them all to report a user acct as using fake name to get that user booted off facebook. this may be why some users report be booted off facebook on a weekly basis. Seems like a script kiddie messing around with the flaws in their name reporting system. If not, I would like to get response from their chief technology officer. Interestly they have been going through a couple in the last couple years. And the current one has recently sold off 2.2 million dollars worth of his shares in facebook. A number of facebook insiders have been reported to be selling off massive amounts of facebook shares, while at the same time are saying facebook stock will more than double in 2015??
I am bewildered as I wasn’t even giving an option to verify with my phone number.They gave me a text option and an audio captcha option and despite typing in the audio numbers and the text several times my account remains blocked and I attached it to my website.This is a rude awakening.If anybody knows any statutes of law which shows the illegality of their actions kindly let me know as I will not let them get away with this nonsense.
Banners Broker was a piddly little company and when people started talking about it and spreading word of how good they were they started implementing rules which made it difficult for their Affiliates to operate and realize what they paid for and luckily I got my £3,629 by taking them to task through the Ombudsman.Amazon has started doing the same thing with its sellers and now Facebook.It tells you to keep away from where many people gather as it will soon turn to a place of abuse and trampling of your rights.Facebook is owned by a young man who could not speak to me on the road if he met me but now he is using his platform to abuse me.Well it means I will never rely on this platform again and serves me a lesson that I will definitely learn from.
Locked account and this whole story of which I was not aware of, just made me deactivate my FB account! I stoped using it anyways, some 2, even 3 years ago, when “smarter and more interesting” focused social networks came out… Locked account didn not even happend to me, but to my friend, and what they are doing is outrageous! I completly agree that it is a form of RANSOME.
Happy to have ended my account with FB!
I’m currently hating this system, I have a hater on facebook who is Constantly reporting my account as fake so once a week i get locked out and have to upload my IDs THIS SHOULD BE STOPPED!
I know other models that have alias as model names just like famous singers, actors etc. When this happens to them they completely lose there account because there ID doesn’t show their alias name.
I was suspended sometime today, no reason given, I was given an automated, five digit code, I entered it, the next page then said my name was ‘not allowed’…it’s the name I was born with, most of the documentation they seek seems to be well outside the Data Protection Act here in the UK.
As they have now monetised themselves; they need users more than I need Facebook! Which I was only on at the insistences of friends (who mostly don’t actually use it!).
So Facebook…you were an irritating part of my life for less than fourteen months, I guess this is goodbye…can’t say I’m sad to see you go…your menus are not clear, your platform makes Blogger look smart, your messaging is a poor version of Skype and I was sick of the Adverts…on top of that you’ve decided to block genuine people from their own-name registered pages, while allowing Jihadis, Fascists and dog-baiter’s to run dozens of fake-ID pages, concurrently? How long before you go bust?
Facebook should call themselves Fascistbook. I am getting sick of their rules and policies. For absolutely no reason I was blocked from using a feature on facebook (commenting on pages and statuses) for absolutely no reason. Facebook blocked me for over a month. They failed to provide me a reason why I was blocked. I messaged them numerous times and still no response. After months of waiting I was finally unblocked and as soon as I commented on a status they logged me out of my account and asked for me to verify my account with a mobile number and I did this.. within 10 minutes of being back on my account they logged me out again and asked me to verify my account with a government issued account.. I completely lost it!! There is no way in hell I am giving them my iD. Welldone facebook on losing another member. Guess this is what happens when Zuckerberg sells out facebook to the NSA.
Here’s the dingus: their asking for a photo ID is unlawful under the Californian law. Hell, suspending people for fake names without a good reason is against the Californian law too!
Here’s what I did: when they suspended me on Tuesday, I replied with a strongly worded e-mail mentioning codes, cases, Supreme Court decisions, basically legalese for “go fuck yourself and gimme my account back”. I managed to bully them into backing off and reinstating my account. But then, apparently a different shift of morons was carted in, one moron tripped over my e-mail that went into a different place than the rest… and they suspended my account again, forcing me to repeat myself, with some extra cases, decisions and opinions.
I am not a lawyer, but I can easily spot illegal bullshit going on. Facebook has absolutely no legal leg to stand on in this case. One person irritated enough to drag them to court, and unpleasant things for Facebook will happen.
You posted this nearly a year ago so I don’t know if you’ll even see this but if you by chance do – Could you please email ( donnadelago@hotmail.com ) me the legal basis for how you got your account reinstated. I’d like to attempt this route and need the specific info. Also what email did you use for contacting them? I’m finding a hard time even finding a contact email.
I was locked out a two days ago after using my “authentic name” on their site since 2007, within a year of them being open to the public. No warning either.
I got locked out of my account two weeks ago. Just tried to upload an ID and now Facebook won’t even load on my computer. None of their pages load, even on my phone. I couldn’t even start a new account if I wanted to. They have blocked me from getting on at ALL!
“I make lists every year of things I want to achieve and things I want to buy. On my yearly list I had a football club: nice car, nice holiday, and a football club at the end of it.
Well, I think their is still some catch, this security feature can easily be exploited, any person with expertise in Photoshop can misuse this feature.
I am pissed off too, this just happened to me… Facebook is just a big INTERNET BULLY, they think they can get away with this crap now because they have so many users, that people will bow down and do
what they want, well I say F–K them…I will delete my acct. I use Instagram way more and finally understand twitter! Facebook can go screw themselves…we still have a right to privacy, it`s absolutely ridiculous a social site asks for such personal info.
FYI Facebook owns instagram. Go figure.. I’m shutting down my instagram too.
Hmmm. I am right with you on this, BUT…. how to delete a Facebook account if you can’t log in to it?!
Exactamondo! I want to delete mine, even though I have never posted any photos or other personal stuff. They shit me to tears, and keep sending me their shitty emails telling me I have ‘friend requests’ and other crap which I can’t access. What a bunch of tossers.
Well, I personally don’t have any government proof yet because I am not yet 18 years old and in India we get Government ID after 18 years of age only. FB is getting harsh, I think.
That’s weird,Facebook should avoid this else this can make many users to stay away from FB.
This is something seems crazy, Government ID, even couple of month back there were news that FB is going share all the personal details with some authority, till the time they are keen to keep the privacy its ok or else we will have to move away from FB…..
Happened to me a few days ago. No reason for it to happen, just got locked out of my account one day, and I log in every day. They want me to send a government issued ID or birth certificate? After we hear about reputable companies like Chase, Target & Adobe getting hacked into? NO WAY. This is infuriating. If people become aware that Facebook is doing this, we can all find a better form of social media. There are so many other platforms, Facebook is not the only one to choose from. Let’s make another platform popular. No company should have the power that Facebook is choosing to exert over their subscribers. Appalled.
It takes 5 minutes to create a ID in photoshop.
There are so many different types of ID cards in India by govt that FB cant recognize which one to trust.
great idea, let me try :D thx
Yeah And it’s a felony to forge a goverment ID.
Can I get out of jury duty forever if I forge a govt ID and send it to Facebook? That would be f’in awesome.
Who gives a shit? U can forge a library card and your utility bill using Photoshop in 5 minutes. These are no government issued IDs.
I was locked out yesterday. I find it hard to believe someone hacked my account. It was open three weeks ago and the email used to login with was also started three weeks ago and nobody knew it.
I am not going to give them the info they need. They already know who most of my relatives are, my friends, what high school I went to and what year I graduated from. They can go to classmates and find me in an online copy of all four year books. They know what city I am from and what city I am in. They know what I like, what I have read, what music I like and what political spectrum I fall in.
Facebook has more info on me in the past three weeks than most people after years
This is really surprising. It’s a good initiative by facebook and it will help in improving the users privacy and security. Thanks for Sharing.
STFU, you shill.
“It’s a good initiative”? Are you a twelve year old who just won the spelling bee using the word ” initiative”? You haven’t a clue what this is.
Please stop.
I have just been another victim of the Facebook photo Id lock out. As stated above, I did send the requested information with blacked out personal data. Day 1 and counting. Thank you all who posted here. As much as I hate to, I think I will be leaving the Facebook world either because I may never get my account back OR I will choose to leave based on this over reaching policy and the sheer lack of respect for their users. I hope to inform my friends on FB of this horrible policy and urge them to leave in mass!
I cannot log in my facebook account. It shows that my account has been temporarily locked. Then I received an e-mail that ask me to provide an identification photo. But my e-mail with my photo was returned by facebook. Please tell me what should I do and help me unlock my account. Thanks a lotï¼
Second Life by Linden Lab also does this sort of thing if you wish to recover a locked (on-hold) account. They ask for your government ID. Seems like many big websites are doing this nowadays. I certainly don’t agree with it. I can’t imagine others would agree with it either. Perhaps a class-action lawsuit is in order somewhere down the road.
…. so finally today after 4 days, and heaps of email to them, FB admits they ‘made a mistake’ and have unlocked my account. Hmmm.
Was it worth it?
I have been locked out of FB for over 2 days now. They only will respond asking for ID. The first time one piece, and now 2 pieces. I did provide one photo ID with the important bits blanked out – twice! If this continues they will certainly lose me! There appears to be no way I can log back into my account. I now have to wait and see what transpires.
I dumped Facebook, and then dumped Twitter too! It seemed, and seems the right thing to do. It feels good, and o so right!
I don’t know about the US, but here in Europe many of the below do NOT show the date of birth at all!

Wew… Big Brother Facebook… I will terminate my Facebook account and switch to LifeInvader (http://www.lifeinvader.com) instead…
With the recent revelations how the warious websites and service providers are assisting the NSA, et.al, to collect information about their participants, does no one else see this as a way of more accurately identifing just who is attached to which account? Gosh (and this is not paranoia talking) ….. to me this is just a massive collection of personal information that will be available to hand over to the JBT’s when they arrive.
No comment, I’d take the risk of being spotted :)
The worst, or just after, in this NSAgate, is the fact it will give legitimacy to all paranoiacs on the Web, and there are perhaps as many as their counterparts, the naive.
It’s a matter of brains, not of ideology.
Hah, as if I’d do that.
I do have two fake profiles at Facebook complete with a seemingly authentic name and history so my own privacy is assured. Those are mainly used to participate in a number of groups on the site, but some times when I’m bored, I catch a game as well. Since I don’t communicate with my friends via social media, my accounts with fake names work just as well for my purposes.
Neither the groups nor the games are so valuable, that I’d register with my real name. If they should ever require a confirmation by photo ID from me, it would instantly mean my departure from the site.
All it takes is one comment that a libtard doesn’t like and those accounts are history. That’s what happened to me.
Clever name-calling. Excellent debate technique on a subject having nothing to do with political stripe. Contard. Bastard. Hey, I see why you do this Thanks!
Scary, that Facebook, Zuckerberg are trying to be the international GOVERNMENT / BUSINESS of collecting INFORMATION / IDENTITIES DATABASE… I’m sure that they wouldn’t mind getting some fingerprints, voice, retina , blood and hair DNA samples to…
Doesn’t just sound strange – it sounds bizarre. I think we’re dealing here with ivory tower management.
I’ve just never ‘got’ Facebook (and I get Twitter even less.) Hell, I don’t even text people – I invite friends around for supper by old-fashioned telephone. It’s called having a life.
I do have a FB account, but only to see news and pictures of my grandchildren who live a long way away. FB holds almost no information on me beyond the minimum to support an account, and I’d never dream of doing otherwise with any online service. Friends used to call me paranoid – right up to the Prism debacle.
If this latest nonsense becomes true, then I’m gone – along with anyone else with a grain of self respect.
“The company notes that data that has been uploaded to Facebook as part of the verification process will be deleted after the verification.”
They can’t possibly be saying this with a straight face? It just proves that they are complete liars. This whole affair would be funny if it wasn’t such a pathetic statement about our culture and how we’ve gleefully created this monster. Never had an account, never will, and frankly give a strong wonder about anybody who does. I’ll go back to my cave now.
They don’t delete anything that user uploaded or generated on portal (i’ve found “deleted” conversations from 2010 when they launched new mail system), so i’m sorry but i don’t believe that they will delete that data.
I think Myspace requested something similar for people who tried to reactivate dormant accounts.
Keep your data local and duplicated. Nobody can then force you jump through hoops to access it.
Oh look, it was all just an unfortunate mistake.
I’m sure the backlash was swift and overwhelming.
Facebook apologizes for requesting users login with ‘Government ID’
Source: The Drum
Address : http://www.thedrum.com/news/2013/10/29/facebook-apologises-requesting-users-login-government-id
Yes, an unfortunate mistake that is still occurring in May 2015. Facebook is scum of the earth.
it happened to me yesterday so its still going on! They are not sorry for anything
It wasn’t a mistake. In April 2014 it happened to me and still they ask for government ID. Since they list Birth Certificate I have sent them a copy of mine, from the United Kingdom, and blacked out all data except my name and DOB and referred to European Data Privacy laws. As a side thought, what use would a photo on a birth certificate serve, not that mine has one… I await their response.
Hey, did the birth certificate work?
I doubt if this was mistake or maybe rather checking the users and IT reaction for such “feature”.
It’s called a “trial balloon”. Done in business and politics all the time. Based on the reaction, they learn how to finesse and tweak future implementation that won’t cause as much of a stir.
“Testing the waters” as someone wrote on the site you mentioned ? Who knows ? I can understand mistakes by disruption, by a lack, but this scenario is beyond a classical mistake. Maybe, like it happens in the medias, though seldom with necrology, a project which has been inadvertently removed from a brainstorming bureau?
Mistakes happen, but they can be costly at times..
Between having to send a photo of my ID and giving up Facebook, I’d choose to tell them goodbye any day!
If they do this to me I will never log in again, easy :)
Now if Google does it that’s different, my gmail has useful info, so even if I had a copy of the data offline I don’t want the online version to ‘exist’ when I am not using the service.
What you are saying seems to me very relevant of the huge advantage of Google. Google+ is simply an extra feature, but the company has developed such an arsenal of services that it is very hard if not unimaginable to be on the Web without meeting them one way or another.
I’ve tested for fun, with a Firefox add-on called Blocksite Plus, to block all urls containing google ( http*://*google* ) which in fact blocked more than Google itself and still not all of Google but already a wide area… well, several sites, mainly those calling a Google api simply didn’t work right.
Google is a dinosaur, Facebook an elephant. I think the time of the latter is counted because the company relies only on one service: putting people and their lives in connection with others’. 1 billion people for 1 service. It’ll crash sooner or later.
Good heavens, in France such a pertinent remark could have broken all of my speech :)
You are right, nevertheless!
OK – A wale instead of the dinosaur !
(Gosh, that should have been in the long process of my deep thoughts!)
But dinosaurs are dead and elephants still exist … I am just being silly. I get your point and it is pretty accurate.
Close your FB accounts. Period.
Problem is, you can’t even do that when they lock you. They won’t let you access anything, you can’t delete your account and they keep your data.
Did you access your account again?
I am sure 100% that facebook will start charging for premium accounts in a future(no ads, additional privacy options, corporate accounts and so on).
In order to pay a fee you will need to use some form of payment. Are you willing to give them a credit or debit card number? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way pal. What stops them from charging you again again again. What stops them from selling this info to others. Do you read the fine print at the bottom of the facebook page. They have a right to share info with their affiliates. Do you read the fine print when you do one of their fun quizzes? If you take the quiz that company automatically gets all your facebook info. Facebook get $$$ for this info from the quiz masters. In other words the quiz people write the quizzes just so the can trick you into getting your private info. HOWEVER Banks, credit card companies, cable companies, internet companies, utilities and just about every other internet company does the same thing. READ THE FINE PRINT.
If so the fee will be high to compensate the mountain of targeted-ad revenue.
I don’t think Facebook will ever propose such a thing, without even taking into consideration it would be a slap in the face of users without that premium account, but taking into consideration that a targeted user brings not only advertisement revenue but also plain intelligence data, whatever they say.
And what would be “additional privacy”? You must mean a minimum of guaranteed privacy? And guaranteed by what?
Facebook is a data collector. Period.
This is ridiculous. No website has ever done this sort of thing. May be in future they would ask us to pay for using facebook.
they attempted. 4.99US per month. but people oppose. so they keep free.
That is where you are wrong :) Paypal did.
Paypal? Are you stupid? That is a different kind of service. You are using paypal to pay for purchases, so how do you think you will pay if you do not give your détails? Truly stupid!
Huh! But the fact is, anyone hacking Facebook probably already has a name, birthday, and pictures for a user — and a lot more information too. Obviously, if a user neglects to cover his licence or passport number in the ID confirmation picture, that info is available for however long the data exists on FB’s server. Facebook was last hacked on Feb 15, 2013, although “no user data was compromised”. From a story in the ever-reliable Telegraph, on Oct 16 of this year:
“‘Intuitively everybody knows that that information should not be there. You would not write that information on a sandwich board and walk down your local street with it on. That is exactly what you are doing with Facebook.’ When asked about the findings a Facebook spokesman acknowledged people have a responsibility to be careful with their data and stressed that the company has systems in place to stop hackers.”
Yup.
A side-effect and possibly a side or main aim of this FB polka will be to make users hesitate to log out (for those who even think about it) in order to avoid being locked-out, and therefor, logged-in even when on the other side of FB planet, keep being tracked, and tracked, and tracked …
Well, if they don’t mind, who will?
even if you log out you will also be banned. unless you delete your facebook (NOT JUST DEACTIVATE) in 14 days.
unless you totally delete facebook account. even if your acc deactivate, facebook will still disable u.
many ppl deactive FB and still got disabled.
only if you delete totally.
Martin,is this story real or some kind of joke? What next fingerprints or better yet a piece of hair to get DNA?
BTW.I’m having trouble to run GMER on my Windows 8.1 machine as it getting terminated for some reason,any ideas what can it be?
People should change their names en masse to Thomas A. Anderson, D.O.B 13 September 1971 and use Neo’s passport screen grab from ‘The Matrix’ to verify themselves to Facebook.
Ha ha grand idea.
We’re bound with Facebook for a one-knee begging. I’ve always set my vital interests out of this junk site and, when I see this happening, I certainly see no path for a modification of my web standards.
Did everyone get their accounts restored after giving Facebook GOV ID?????
Kiros
Im locked out and am NOT giving them any id. They can delete my account. After reading lots of blogs here, seems any id I give them they are not going to restore my page anyway. They want proof of my age? Why on earth would I lie, I am 56. I could of told them I was 23 but no, I told the truth and they want proof?
It would be interesting to know under what pretense is Facebook locking an account. And also how many idiots complied with the request…
Libtards have discovered that the easiest way to get rid of their opposition is to report that they are using a fake name. This results in a lockout that FB usually won’t reverse even after you jump through a lot of hoops. If you try to open a new account using your old cell number, they won’t let you.
I need help face book has my government ID , My marriage license and now they are saying some other person sent them the same documentation of me. They want me to send them a photo ID with a picture of that ID and my face I have never heard of this. They refuse to reopen my account under my real name and destroy the two documents I have sent them. My god this is crazy they have yet to prove to me if they are legit. I was a fool to send this anyway my account had my real picture a few years younger but still me.My age was correct everything. Please I know this thread is old petitions have been closed down . Where can anyone get help for this? I feel like I just got my identity stolen.
Nothing to do with liberals. Right wing nutters do this all the time. It is called being intolerant. Is everyone a frigging diva these days?
Fb did this to me an hour ago, in the middle of a F*cking conversation. I live on the other side of the world from where I was born and raised, Fb has been my sole means of communication with many people and I want my data back. ASAP. So, I did give them what they asked for (mainly because all my documents and legal name will be changed shortly) but my legal name is NOT the one I used on Fb. I wonder how they will respond to that. If I have to hack my own account I’ll be extremely peeved >.<
How did they respond? Would be interested to know. I have the week to provide ID for an account that has never been in my own name. And I cant hack so would be even more peeved lol
this is what they said in notifying me: “We’ve asked you to verify your identify because it looks like you may have multiple accounts or may not be using your authentic identity.”
simply not true, and they had no clue to interfere like that.
also, when they ask for govt ID which shows my birthdate, haha, they do not have my real birthdate, as I did not put it down for them on my entry profile!
i would like to know too. I did hear a report saying that they have a system in place which removes several 1000 accounts a day as “fake” accounts. And they added that most people do not contact them that have had their account suspended. What is troubling to me is that they do not show a way to contact them other than after submitting a copy of a gov ID. And they say that since people don’t contact them that their accounts must be fake and up to no good. That was troubling to me. It appears that the only way they will take correspondence is if a gov ID is uploaded to them. This is puzzling.
Many,
and how many people have no choice unless they want their personal data back. And how legal is this to begin with. Facebook ransomware. Even the hackers don’t go that far to get all your personal data (at least on the record). Where are those twins that went to Harvard with Zuckerberg? The Winkelvoss brothers? We need you, got a new business idea and start up that is perfect for this…..
Facebook is evil incarnate.
But this latest move is of course about dollars
and cents. A verified human is worth more in advertizing
revenue than a sock puppet.
And those commies in China and Cuba will pay them 5 cents on each of those identity ..lol
I just get its request to submit my Id for verify my name . Its very bad and I think that some one work at Facebook are just Chinese commie spy. I was used that name for years and have never any problem with it.
I just quit and will show them a middle fingers of me….lol
>The company notes that data that has been uploaded to Facebook as part of the verification process will be deleted after the verification.
I’m sure that couldn’t possibly be a lie.
I have family pictures and personal information that Facebook has locked me out of, to include locking out my friends and family. Fact; Facebook monitors will filter your audience, and will lock you out of your account if your views are not to their liking, to include challenging you, if you want to reaching out to others with similar views. This is a social media venue that should not stifle any user, because of their beliefs; religious or political. Facebook monitors will scrutinize specific posts, views, and belief especially during this current U.S. presidential election, where it has spiked. Therefore a Lawsuits for suppressing the freedom of speech, religious, political, and bar of personal information posted warrants Facebook Inc to be Subpoena by the U.S. District Court and John G. Streeter. If you feel that you have fallen into this same category as a victim prejudice, please email your petition and comments to FacebookSubpoena@gmail.com
John I have A question … I’m locked out of my FB and have supplied them my GOV ID ….. There’s no mention of when I will be able to access my account again?
Do you have any Idea
Kiros
REX yes it is a lie, they have mine but want more from me and refused to delete what I have already sent until i do. Don’t do it. I used my real name and nickname my real picture, birthday and they closed my account with two very clear ID’s. I wish I hadn’t bothered over some mad gamers fake reports .
why? or are you using very dry humor? do you not see that their requests are very strange?
I’m also in shocked. Facebook is doing well trying to improve security and privacy. Thanks for posting this gHacks :)
Ho ho, they finally show their hand.
Facebook is a textbook phishing operation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
” What is phishing?
Phishing is a type of Internet fraud that seeks to acquire a user’s credentials by deception. It includes theft of passwords, credit card numbers, bank account details and other confidential information.
Phishing messages usually take the form of fake notifications from banks, providers, e-pay systems and other organizations. The notification will try to encourage a recipient, for one reason or another, to urgently enter/update their personal data. Such excuses usually relate to loss of data, system breakdown, etc.”
We all knew that, but this just cements it in the record books.
So, did you supply your ID?
Read your reply above, had to comment. Believe me I am pretty much on high alert when it comes to security issues concerning computing in this day in age. I learned the hard way… However, believe me, I did quite a bit of research before “the event” occurred. Talk about stealing here . . . hack, phish, squish etc., header info on linked Yooho (ikk) email from Facebook was checked at least 5 times for comparison, down to ips, header, department domain, etc. Checked on another FB user page on this, and saw the rule (alleged) on their page as well and allegedly on official FB page. This saga I am not finished with yet as whoever fabricated or stole FB content, e-mail addresses and all that — is going to FB legal. Will not stop there as from the timeline, apparently this has been going on for a while. There’s more, yet —- as of today — nothing has changed! And we all know that FB has skeleton crew workforce, no contact, no support, no nothing. So, guess I will have my friend just generate an e-mail to their Shareholders to advise them of “pretent privacy” and other “rules” they allege are in effect to protect users. The awareness of all content on FB, as stated above, personal data, pictures, family data, telephone numbers, addresses, friends, etc. free for the taking with no, you know, absolute no protection or support from FB. As my friend says, anything for free is worth nothing. TBC….believe me…..they get away with this because they can. Time someone stood up for the right thing. P.S. The last HUGE HACK last week on Google, FB and Twitter – WAS BURRIED VERY DEEP if even published. Hmm, sounds like news to me instead of someone running over a grasshopper or whatever stupid stuff some MAJOR WEBSITES/NEWS publish.
I’ll stop using altogether. I’m amazed as many people use this site as they do.
Interestingly, photocopying a government ID is a federal crime. I wonder how Facebook justifies that demand.
Same here… they lie about their automated security process.
Here is the story: After successful login it doesn’t let me process further and shows the following message: “To help keep your Facebook account secure, we have an automated security process that checks lists of passwords that have been stolen from other websites and published online.
The password you use on one of those sites matches the password you use on Facebook. We aren’t aware of any suspicious login activity on your account, but we’ll walk you through a few steps to change your password and help keep your account secure”
This is impossible because I only use this combination for Facebook. Further proof that is that I can still recover my account via E-Mail and change the password. However, after login the same message appears. Therefore the message is a total lie!!
What I did minutes before they locked me out was removing my mobile phone number. So for me it seems the security process stuff shows up because of this.
Now they only option to process further after login is to upload an ID. Even, my account runs with my real name I will certainly never ever do that.
So what now.. I really want to delete my account now and say goodbye to this company! I don’t want to work with companies that tell me shit and need an ID of me after over 10 years. It’s an easy step for me because in the past years I was online only about 3-4 a year.
However, how can I delete the account now? Even I know my login and I have access to the corresponding E-Mail there seems no option to do that without sending an ID of me? Have you experiences similar issues after removing the mobile phone number? Is there an E-Mail address where they quickly delete my account? Tried disabled@facebook.com but nothing happens and no answer since days.
What if they are using photos and personal details to sell to third parties and create forgeries. If this is proved, they may be liable for compensation.
Let’s all sue them… Legally we can , and lots of people have won huge lawsuits for very similar things.. They just did it to me and im locked out because i refuse to send my id or post my real last name. I’m going to contact a lawyer , not sure about everybody else lol.
Dear Sir,
I am in the position to join your action, and ready to make payment for the lawyer you find and trust.
Let’s do it.
facebook sucks, everyone hates it, you’re missing out on nothing
NEVER upload a government I.D. to these fools. They are not the police, the government or anything official. When you transmit such vital information you are leaving yourself open for identity theft.
I have been dealing with this issue since March 14, 2017. Someone changed my email address only not my password. Dealing with Facebook has been hell. Since March, Facebook has asked for my ID to prove my identity. First I sent them a copy of my drivers license only to be told just about three weeks ago that my ID did not match up with my account. Who are they matching me up with? I then sent them more ID only to be told they could not help me. I was shocked. Why can’t they help me? I am now so sorry I trusted them. I feel like a fool reading all of the comments here. All I wanted was my account back. I did not care about the pictures, just wanted my friends back. I guess I could have just created a new account but then I would need a new email and why should I have to go through all that. I do not want two email accounts.. At this point I am really done with Facebook because I don’t know where else to turn for help. Now I worry about what will they do with my ID? I so wanted my account back but this has just been too much. Thanks for listening.
I agree, I am done with Facebook unless this goes away.
If people stand up to them they will have to give us what we want.
Good for you.
Yep, I stopped using and life is much better
I have a group that I have worked very hard on and I am locked out. I’m freakin!
So were you able to take it off your computer? Shit this is crazy I was gone for 3 weeks and did not use FB ,now I am locked out—–And they want a Picture of me wtf..All I want to do is get in my account and delete this FB crap, So I guess my Question is How were you able to delete FB?? With out a Picture….. Please help..Then I can maybe help others with this . Thank you so much-T
first off why are they targetting like celebrity accounts some do fan pages for them.
based on the federal laws of privacy and protection act …they are a social media they are not employers they don’t pay you and it is criminal. they need to be taught a lesson. tons of social media sites people use usernames and start fan pages or they don’t want to use their names do to race, or domestic abuse or privacy of the celebrity and facebook has no right. They need a class action lawsuit on them whos with me. locking someones account without reading the account. for example what is your dob I didn’t even put my dob. that is stupid and I am not going to put my iD out there for a fan page I don’t trust facebook nor staff what if they use it for other means I mean how are they making so much anyways. They are even targeting the IP addresses. This is invading our privacy. If I was at home they could stalk you or steal from you it is not safe. This company needs to be put down… or pay a fine for serious criminal activities.
I just have been locked out myself. I would like to start a lawsuit. Please consider this with me. I see you recently posted this.
please help me coz i cant log in!
facebook has no authority to ask for world wide gov’t issued id on fb accts. #facebookbecomesworldpolice
I wonder if FB sees the rest of the world as an unnecessary burden. Since the internet does not “belong” to the US others can join, but for some reason we in other countries are not asked for ID. I noticed that Europe has put a flat stop to this. This ID insistance is absolutely disgraceful – it probably WILL come to other countries so that they can round up the world nicely FOR THEM!
Facebook have blocked me, I live in Romania so it is now starting in Europe not just in USA. I use it because I live in a different country to my family and it is the only way to contact them without costing too much money by phone, I will not send them my personal details, they have already sent me a reset password code to my personal mobile phone so why should they need other private details. I will find another method of talking to relatives and to play games, Facebook is not so exclusive as they think!!!
I always suspected how Facebook got such a humongous initial public offering of their stock with little business to support the IPO. It looks like NSA surveillance program with Facebook may be an indication of who is the real and largest shareholder of Facebook. `Facebook is now a government site and should be a part of the Social Security of National ID program. Is not a fun private website. I will not use my personal ID on an ensecure site to promote and sell your ID publically without protection. It defeats the purpose it was created for.
I totally agree!
I agree i have been hacked too and now can’t get back into Facebook. They should be contacting us by email or phone and be helping us to sort this out not treat us as if we are the criminals. It sounds very dodgy asking us 2 send a photo of our passport with photo and date of birth on.There should be help buttons on there so u can report suspicous things going on.
Im facing the same. Did anyone have success getting back in?
what do you expect from a site who doesn t even have a real support????wherever you look u find jusy situations and what they think u should do in that case..but u can look on entire facebook and u won t find the CONTACT button..wtf is facebook1 stupid site nothing more..same was hi5 and now hi6 is gone..same will be fb too if we ll give up on fb..so let s quit using fb and make them disapear
trouble is you can NOT – I WISH they would LOCK ME OUT!!! Can’t wait to be locked out. SICK of all those friends adding more friends. I want out but can NOT!!! have to wait 2 weeks – why????
I just tried to log into my pseudonym Fb account to get rid of information that could link to my real name account and I can’t get in. They can go f*** themselves if they think I’m giving them that. I deactivated my real name account as well. Facebook Nazis!!! This will have some serious backlash.
There are so many scams being perpetrated over the internet that only an drooling fool would do what facebook is requesting. How does anyone even know that it is, in fact, facebook making the request? If it is Facebook, how do we know that the documents will be deleted or even secure on a website that has been hacked? I’m certainly not going to cooperate with those f—–g idiots in this attempt to gather personal information that is none of their business. The capcha and email password resets, made several times from both my PC and Phone within a short period of time should be reassurance that I am the same me as I have always been. :-) boneheads! I managed for years without facebook and I’ll easily manage without it again.
i don’t know what happens in my facebook ! i think somebody else use my facebook and something bad to other people i don’t know ! help plz
I thought you might like to see this.. I have found at least 2 petitions on change.org regarding facebook’s legal name reporting system and name change requirements etc. One of them currently had over 38,000 signers on the petition. https://www.change.org/p/facebook-allow-performers-to-use-their-stage-names-on-their-facebook-accounts
why should only singers have that privilege. i fed my kids with my nail work. it was easier tlo put nick name such is nails+my nick name+my location so that my future customers would find me easier. i am so pissed off cause i had no warning about this. i was so stupid to send them my id card. i’m so mad sooo mad!
Hello:
It happened top me also. I was stupid to comply and send them a scanned copy of my passport. It took them a day to answer me this:
((( Hi,
Thanks for your reply. At this time, we can’t give you access to this account or continue with your request because you either:
– Haven’t sent a form of ID that we can use to verify your identity
– Sent us documentation that doesn’t match the name, photo or date of birth listed on this Facebook account
)))
Which is totally strange as the information are exact match to the FB profile. I replied to ask further clarifications, and if they don’t answer me exactly what does not match, I am stopping using this shit called Face Book. I am in a way nearly decided that that is it, and fuck Facebook, and may be they did me a favor. No more fucking Face Book.

Did they ever open your account. This has happened to my friend and he refused to provide Id, so he has been without a FB account for three weeks. He was going to try to use a fake id, but why. In the end he is without a FB account, but the funny thing is he gets notifications from FB saying he has pokes, friends posted, you missed all this crap. What an awful way to tease a person.
open
My account was just shut down until I send ID to verify my name. Cinnamon really is my legal name lol. My mother had an odd sense of humor, I guess.
The only thing I use Facebook for is to participate in discussion boards through our local newspaper’s website. It’s the only way to do so. Yesterday, some whiny young kid got his panties in a bunch because I disagreed with him about something or other and reported me to Facebook. I didn’t say anything inappropriate. It was just a normal debate about some political issue (or so I thought). Then I get a notice that my account was reported as being a fake name. WTF? They do realize that anybody can click a link to report you, right? I mean, it is such an abusive and repressive practice. Certainly an effective way to shut down open discussion.
I refuse to send them ID. Who needs Facebook that bad? Not me.
They pulled the same thing with my account. Screw Facebook. I don’t need them. Sounds like they’re harvesting private info for corporations or government.
Of course they are. Hey, did you end up supplying your private, personal ID?
i have to agree mine happen too and no one asked me for the government id thank god that did not happen and once in your life Boom once in the blue moon locked out and i am so scared that i have to make a new fb account so live on with my life and so on and so for it happen last night 16 hours ago when i just got on and book ive been logged out and said the last part locked……….i was so frustrated and i dont want anything happen to my stuff idk what to do with this……why is mark doing this to us we want him to stop this menace we are real not fake and we are not robot are are human flesh and blood
facebook please stop this we mean no harm but we are real our birthdays, our pictures they are all real understand this mark Just call off the lock out thing
After being a decent member of Facebook and keeping all the rules they have finally rewarded me by locking me out of Facebook for months on end and I cant get back in. Sadly I don’t like saying this, but Facebook are spoilt with a huge number of members on a global scale to such an extent that individuals have become faceless to them and no longer count. This is what power and control does God bless you :-(
Let’s find out whom is working behind those sections at Facebook ,and dig out their personal and family identification and make it in public of this page of facebook shit and dirty policy.
I do not want to be a victim of facebook, and I know there must some individuals is behind all of this.
Eyes to eyes, tooth to tooth.
Let’s do something meaningful to give them a lesson, not simply complaint and let it go.
my blocked FB id : John inHim AAA
Amen to that !!
I am so fvcking sick of facebooks one fvcking eyed view of people !!\
Some chit head hacksd your account and bingo , you may as well go hide in the corner of the world … a million posts , 50 friends , years of doing nothing but nice stuff with familly and friends , then bang …. some chit head causes your account to be banned / blocked !! and you are history …not even a bloody personal email from the bastards !! to give you a chance to explain or even enquire as to WTF happened to cause the account to be blocked ?
Fvck em!! , I survived for many many bloody years without those totalitarian pricks at facebook and there weak chit system, ! and I will continue using more friendly secure systems …
Fvck facebook !!
cheers from a now happy ex facebook user …
Steve
i used my fb account for people to see my nail works and play games, why do i need to provide my true identity for playing fb games to the people i play with, but don’t know who they are? why do they even need to see my kids pics? maybe among them are true lunatics? ever thought about that?
now i lost all my nail photos and all my future customers! what about that?!
i created a fanpage a few weeks ago which i posted ad ,text ,photos and some videos on. i paid for a course (program) that provided all this material w/ precise instructions about how to set it all up . i even scheduled 21 days of ads and posts to be published twice a day at 3 and 7 pm like clockwork,set up an audience to target set a daily budget enter loads of information .spent 3 solid days working on this non-stop day and night in a desperate attempt to get some income rolling in to try and save my mortgage on my house ,utilities were all about ready to be disconnected!!!!!!!!! and like i said ihad to purchase this program after making the decision to spend every tiny bit of savings i had left…. 3 days after my fanpage was up and running fb paused my ad acct and my payroll acct because of suspicious activity????? i have to send in proof of identity also and i dont have any photo ids ,ss card ,marriage license, or any of the documents they are requesting(DEMANDING) as far as photo documents, so now i sit here waiting for and watching my life crumble around me w/ a recent back surgery preventing me from participating in my lifelong career in construction…. you were my last hope fb and now your my FINAL DEMISE!! p.s. they still allow me to view my page and my earnings but i cant withdrawl or access my funds or access my ad server to place any more ads….. i wish fb a horrible degrading death at the hands of someone like me……………………………………………………………………….
I am absolutely shocked — in that I (along with 1 million of my friends) did not know about this “procedure” on compromised account until 3 days ago, November 21, 2013. I am bewildered at the very fact that Facebook has the incompetent audacity and, what clearly appears to be roguelike quasi-criminal enablers to issue this illegal FB MANDATORY REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ID for verification of an account holder. No joke, what this really is and seriously I am not kidding, is Facebook Ransomware. Except in this case, as opposed to the FBI Ransomware (interesting they both have FB’s), FB will hold your account hostage and close it, if you do not comply with sending into cyberspace and beyond, your official government id, passport, drivers licenst, birth certificate to them so they can “verify” that the account holder is you. Not only is this absolutely ludicrous in every sense of their request, it also smacks of the very warnings of phishing and ransomware. How ironic is this that Facebook is asking for your personal identity documents to secure your account, especially after your page has been hacked, to “verify” you are who you are. Can someone explain this procedure to me? Really, is an employee clerk at FB going to review say 100,000 government ids from e-mail, and then compare the picture and name against the pictures and name on the account w/ FB?
This is so unreal I literally thought it was part of the hack. After further checking, it appears that this policy is real. This nature and subject of this request, such a slap in the face of a FB account holder, especially after a hack, is simply too much to process. Most of us know the horror stories about the end results of IDENTITY THEFT for starters. We all realize how the federal government, state and local law enforcement are trying to stop such identity theft – which is out of control. Here, you have FB requesting identity documents to verify a FB page? What are they immigration, a subcontractor of the NSA or what? Love the part about the “once we review the documentation we will destroy it.” THIS CANNOT BE LEGAL. What, did Zuckerberg get rid of the legal department too?
No company like this, AOL, Netscape, Yahoo, Google or any other one of the big boys ever went this far. Then to downright tell you your account will be closed if you don’t comply is downright criminal evil behaviour. More seriously bad decisions and current and future exposure to some BIG TIME LIABILITY. Oh, and their defense is that they just “changed” their “rules” a short while ago and believe we are all bound by these new communistic rules, even though FB did nothing to provide legal notice about them.
Well I complied with this hacker like mentality request of theirs. Guess what, after I sent my damn passport to them 3 times, they e-mailed me back and said account closed, they never received any document from me. Now that’s extortion (w/out money) and ransom. Give me your id and I will give your identity back to you.
Where are the Winkelsteins when you need them? Can you spell L A W S U I T? Time for the feds to step in and expose this big corporate boo boo. Perhaps an arrest or two would be in order as well. I am serious here ….. and I am really pissed about this “we control the world whether you like it or not.” “We won’t give you back pictures it took you years to get, years to find your friends and contacts and new friends, etc.” “We just want your goverment id (official of course), cause we really need to know where you live, what you look like (THIS IS HYSTERICAL) and so on.” Hey all you hedge funds and institutional investors — you think it might be time to dump your shares in a company that just rolled over on a few hundred thousand victims of hackers?
Sizzlin………….
I have supplied Facebook with six (6) different official Government items of ID. Facebook has rejected all. There appears no communication facility with Facebook to ask the to delete my account if they won’t accept the ID. Facebook is faceless and uncontactable yet they want primary ID that could facilitate identity theft. I will be sending a snail mail letter to let them know.
The company claims it can make these arbitrary requests since their guidlelines for being a part of their “community” is one has to use their legal name. It is silly since I would say a quarter of more of users are not using their real name or have double accounts. I have 2 accounts and one I use my middle name as my last name. I dont share any information about my home town, college, job etc… I dont want losers I no longer speak to “finding me”. My other account uses a fake name and the name is quite sarcastic when read aloud. I have been reported by facebook. I then went to the office I work at and used their copier machine to create a fake birth certificate. In their face hahahaha. After receiving the certificate they apologized and told me I should have no further issues from them. =) I used the I was bullied for this name growing up and I dont appreciate facebook moderators bullying me as well. Out of principle it was worth the effort to make the phony certificate.
Damn straight -NO THANKS FACEBOOK. Anyone with half a brain knows you are spying on everyone that uses your stupid website then collecting that data to market to them and sell sh-tty products. Now YOU are crossing the line – NO THANKS BYE BYE
Wow. You explained that to the the T….I will not send them my government ID…They will just have to close the account…so be it…
Actually, somehow, many times going into fb, my fb page is already logged into and I then get emails messages that I logged in from an unknown url. I have been locked out of fb for a week. I would really like to just get into facebook to deactivate it. Fox reported facebook’s stock is down. Do they even know this is happening? The last time I was locked out, they wanted me to download their security suite Caspersky. I’m thinking of contacting our Attorney General because it is not possible for me to deactivate the account.
EXACTLY. It is Saturday so I can’t get legal advise but from a cop but Monday, likely, the FCC will address this thuggery. If not local law enforcement will guide me. THANKS
Fb denied me to access my page. I may have happened because I was using multiple devices. Or, it could have been because I have another page, since Fb also limits people to having only 5,000 friends. Or, it could be that someone who I spurne may have reported that I have two pages.
I complied with Fb’s [unreasonable] demand to produce proof of my identity with my California State Driver’s License, and they responded, “We’ll get in touch with you at the email address you provided after we’ve reviewed your ID. You will now be logged out of Facebook.”… They have never responded, and, this same scenario has repeated itself, when I have tried numerous ways to contact them, and complained to them and pleaded with them to please restore my account which they had ‘hijacked’…
Why do they bother asking for my ID, when they have no intention of restoring my page to me???
I am with you on this. I refuse to give my id. to fb. what the hey? just because I go by my nickname, the one that my family friends have know me by for a lifetime. most of my friends would not know my real given name. this is ridiculous. I for one quit. I am even going to drop my internet service. Isn’t it an opportune time for someone new to start a new media site and let fb go the way of myspace. time
MY FACEBOOK LOGIN ERROR COMNG(Someone May Have Logged In To Your Account)I SUBMITES GOVRT ISSUED PAN CARD 10 TIMES THEN ALSO SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND AGAIN
KINDLY REPLY
Please do not forget that Facebook is no more than a marketing tool targeted at gathering data info from all its members in order to sell you products. Its is presented as a platform for “social media” to attract its traffic.
I say, Let’s play their game and use their weaknesses to strike back.
After all government ID can be anything!
Try to catch me!
I agree! This is unfair to the peoples privacy. I don’t like having people knowing my real name, where I live, or what I’m doing. But I still wanna use Facebook to keep in contact with my friends! Its not that I have anything to hide its just I don’t trust anything that wants my personal information for no reason. I could understand Facebook is doing to keep they’re business safe but this right here is a violation to our privacy. This needs to end now!
I agree with you in so many levels and maybe a threat of another Class Action lawsuit will stop this madness. Below is an email i sent to a phantom email with a ghost customer service dept in Facebook. What a joke??
***************************************************************************************
Why does it take so long. I have provided my information days ago and I am still waiting a response, not to mention you have the worse customer service ever. I know it’s a free site but you all must be getting paid somehow, maybe thanks to us as “social media” consumers. I don’t understand why such high top security,and the constant updates guess being used by government means more than working with the simple public who are not using the site for any criminal activities.
Your security policies are ridiculous if we comply with request and not being automatically taken care of. It is sad that it always comes to this when a place that comes from humble beginnings becomes PUBLIC and CORPORATE Capitalism takes over.
I believe that a probable Class Action Suit may be brought upon to you all some day including the head of the corporation for duping it’s user the way you do by not being as useful as you claim to be.
This is poor customer service and I am highly disappointed in Facebook and would only like to gain access because I have family and friends abroad that are wondering what happened to me. But in all honesty Facebook you have turned into the most wicked thing on the internet.
In case anyone does read this email and sees how your way of doing things are just not completely fair I hope I get a response and a reactivation of my account.
I had innocently changed my name to a nick name my fiance liked -CHARDONNEY SPARKELS (mind you there are hundreds of users with this name already, yet pages remain open) and my page was closed. I provided my actual name ****** with a picture, should be sufficient enough to prove my identity.
I will not be providing anything else, since I don’t know exactly who is if anyone reviewing this, and don’t feel the need to compromise my privacy in that way to a ghost person.
I have run out of options and hoping someone gets back to me soon.
This is the current email address I am registered with as well as CHARDONNEY1104@***.COM, which I’ve had for over ten years.
Thank you, and good day to whoever!!
My FB account is disabled and I agree that uploading documents on the Internet that could be used for identity theft is a bad idea. FB has my email address that uniquely identifies who I am so their request for these identity theft documents has no practical business use for FB.
I just went to the WhiteHouse.gov petition page for this issue https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-facebook-intruding-users-privacies-and-demanding-real-name-identification-proofs, signed the petition, got a confirmation email with around 50 lines of css code at the top, figured out which link at the bottom to confirm my signing and obtained a 404 page (could not be found). I clicked the contact link at the bottom of the WhiteHouse.gov page to let them know about the problem and obtained another 404 page.
There are plenty of competitors on the Internet that make turning away customers a bad idea.
Thanks for posting this. I am locked out- meaning no code is sent to me anymore now after many codes were sent to my cell phone in order to open my page. I wrote them that the fact that the code is being sent to my cell is enough identification. Or why don’t you call my home phone- the phone company has my name as a client and also I am listed publicly. I believe that they are phishing for info to sell to people or companies. I wasn’t sure what to do but was nervous about the government ID. Having read this solidified my decision! I will not do it! Your posting was very helpful. Thank Goodness for people like all of you who speak out!
Facebook scums must be brought down to be begers on the streets
its happened again. as of 8/Jul/15, Facebook is yet again holding millions ransom unless we yet again give them a Govt I.D. having gone thru this 4 times, I am done with them, am reporting them to my Boss at The State Dept, and am going to get an In Writing statement from Zuckerberg himself as to why this has happened YET again and a solution to stop it. this will be posted by the NY Times. calling this illegal does not come close. and you are right, there IS no way they can go thru millions of I.D.s and “Verify” them, and the idea that they will then destroy the info, if true, means they WILL have toi then do this again later, having nothing to “Verify” you are you when this DOES happen again.
I just get its request to submit my Id for verify my name . Its very bad and I think that some one work at Facebook are just Chinese commie spy. I was used that name for years and have never any problem with it.
I just quit and will show them a middle fingers of me….lol
It is about time to start an online campaign against this evil empire…this is just insane..We should bombard the FBI’s computer crimes department with complaints until they do something about this fvcken insanity.
I think FB is just insane to ask for this information. I see fake profiles of high ranking US Military officers, and have reported them to the FBI…and FB has the nerve to ask for photo ID when they can’t even identify the fake accounts of high ranking government officials, which high ranking military officers are??? WTF are they thinking? There has to be some kind of legal way we can stop this fucken insanity.
Well, I very recently recieved this request from facebook as well. It’s why I’m here doing some research. I’ve had the impression that FB represents very liberal media. Athough I have used my FB account as a business contact for my business and have made a very ernest attempt at staying nuetral on political and current events. I had the audacity to voice some conservative opinions in response to someone elses very liberal posts. I had a bad feeling about it as I have known for sometime now that mean spirited people can simply report you for abuse (for no reason) and FB will look into it. No sooner did I express my opinion and “Bam”! I’m locked out. I too believed this request absured and will NOT comply with this request. There are other social media where one can promote and advertise ones business such as LinkedIn. This time I’ll just keep my opinions to myself…censorship is a powerful weapon. Thanks for nothing FB!
I am sick of their freaking crap too. I only ever used faceshite for things like competitions, organisations needing my support, etc, never ever posted photos or accounts of my doings. They can get f**cked sideways as far as I’m concerned. Sent scan of my licence as requested with licence no. and address covered even though it pissed me off bigtime some months back and they would not accept my current driver’s licence, which is accepted by the police where I live and anywhere else I need to show id. Not good enough for these f**kfaces apparently, even when I asked what was wrong with my id, got some terse extremely unhelpful reply. I was quite happy never to have anything to do with these bumwipes again, but now I have joined a group for working purposes who communicate through it. So tried again – just got reply again not accepting licence, nothing to say what is wrong with it, mind you. Funny how I can lose my password for ANY OTHER FRICKEN SITE and all I have to do is provide the email address they already have and hey presto, change password, back on. These bumholes can sit on the rough end of a pineapple and f**cking rotate.

Is it illegal? How do we find out if it actually IS illegal? And if so, what recourse do we have?
I concur completely with the above statement. I was asked to give up my personal statistics today. The secret squirrels are smug. They believe they have the keys to the kingdom and can do whatever they want to in order to get what they want and ultimately hurt people. If you live in the DMV you encounter these types all the time. They are well fed with good pensions and they really do not care who they step on because they believe their take on all things is the only accurate one. Sometimes their motive is political. God forbid if you are on the perceived wrong side and do not agree with the flow of their changing world. Final rule do not ask Facebook about their security policy when a Senator has an inordinate amount of strange harassing comment on his condolence post for another Senator. (YOU wil be punished and asked to furnish documents.)
create a petiton about this.

same think happen to me… i sent my passport pic over 10 time.. but still locked..
“Well I complied with this hacker like mentality request of theirs. Guess what, after I sent my damn passport to them 3 times”
None of anything you wrote matters except for that.
this just happend to me so i sent them my cpr card lol fuck that they are not getting my id thats invasion of my privacy. this needs to be shared all over the world. and get facebook closed down just like myspace…..
Hello, I have just been locked out of my Facebook Account less than an hour ago with NO WARNING! from Face Book at all, I have in all sincerity done nothing wrong nor have have I broken any of Face Book Policy Rules or broken any of Face Book Violations, I have only One Face Book Account!! Personally I find this Face Book behaviour shocking! disrespectful! insulting! and offensive! There is No Way What So Ever will I send Face Book my Personal ID INFORMATION, if this is Facebook’s way of treating the Honest, Sincere Account Holder then it’s bye bye Face Book Big Time for me!! I do fully understand that security measures must be taken seriously but asking for my PERSONAL ID is Asking Far To Much…… It’s My Personal ID Information, it would be no longer be Personal if I went and shared it with Face Book or anyone else for that matter!
Kind Regards
Wow!! like you I to thought this was part of the hack. I can’t agree more with everything you said. Know I am just disgusted with the whole facebook thing and especially Zuckerberg. In the day and age they really expect you to trust they will delete your info LMAO on that one. I mean really he is such an arrogant ass that he fills he is above having a department to field calls for this type of situation. Good by #&^$book
For anyone who thinks it’s “fake.”

Nobody should bow down to this…
This has just happened to me and I cannot agree more!!!!!!! I am sincerely pissed off, and i was in mid conversation. With the exceeding amount of identity theft I refuse to upload a picture. Not to mention that I work in law enforcement and my ID circulating out there would not end up well. Their help line phone number doesn’t allow you to talk with anyone or leave messages. I need them rethink this decision, due to the fact that i only use fb to contact out of state relatives, and somebody reviewing ID’s can steal your identity with ease!!!
