The odd thing about this to me is why they have the kafakeseque option to upload your driver's license that doesn't do anything? Is this intended specifically to frustrate and annoy people? It's such an intrusive thing to ask for, why do it if you just ignore it?
Zuckerberg answered this long ago. He had a bunch of people's social security numbers because he asked for them and they gave them to him. Facebook will ask for anything they think a few people might cough up.
We're talking about the company that used 2FA numbers for advertising purposes pretty much immediately after saying they would only use them for security.
