Preventing fraud risks fraud. Others have made this observation, and now I have also.
Someone posted this on Threads:
“FB wants me to upload a pic of my passport, birth certificate, license, ETC to be able to use Messenger due to “unusual activity”. Anyone ever had this issue? Because I am definitely not doing that.”
I quote posted:
“The great paradox of identity verification, ripped from today’s headlines. To prevent fraud you have to risk fraud by giving selfie plus ID to a firm you don’t know—not Meta or Hertz, but a third party vendor you don’t know.
“I do happen to know a bunch of them, having worked for @incodetech and researching 80+ competitors. But they’re mostly anonymous.
“Until they make the news.”
Then I shared the link to my post about a company that is now infamous.
