Me & Facebook...

Hello People!

I have not been around FB for a while and have included correspondence between myself and the FB team should you care to read it. They want me to prove I am a real person. Until I do, I am shut out. What a life.

I hope all is well with you. Here are the FB emails...

to me

Hi,

We need to verify your identity before we can take any action on this account.

If you don't have a government-issued photo ID, please reply to this email and attach copies of at least TWO documents that are from a respected institution (for example: business, school) and combined show your full name, birthday, and picture.

We encourage you to cover any personal information (for example: address, license number) that we don't need to confirm your identity. We also recommend sending your attachments over a secure connection. Find out more here: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=148993491850191.

Some examples of acceptable documents include:

- School or work ID
- Library card
- Utility bill
- Credit card (with the number covered)
- Birth certificate

If possible, please save this file as a JPEG. Once we receive a clear image of your identification, we will reevaluate the status of your account and permanently delete your attached identification document from our servers.

Please note that we will be unable to process your request unless you send in proper identification.

Thanks,

Etán

Thank you for the opportunity, however, I am not applying for membership in your social media club. I liked it better when you sought your profit invisibly. The Facebook team has gotten an inflated opinion of itself since the real possibility of going public has presented itself. At best Facebook is entertainment, not a life's necessity. Much of the internet is fantasy and role play, Facebook is no exception. It has come, and it will go. In my opinion, you are taking yourselves much too seriously and are alienating the people who made you popular.

I know I am a real person, and I am interested in: as opposed to what? Facebook has taken phishing to an elevated level. By requesting legal documentation, you become a hazard and a risk. I do not need a knock on my door late in the night or early in the morning for something I may or may not have posted on FB. If I disappear, I want it to be on my own terms.

Perhaps a reality check is in order. Who is your customer and what do they want? Who can provide the product and at what price? You ask too much in exchange for too little.

Respectfully,
