We live in the UK. She didn’t go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the “old.Reddit” trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end

      it’s not an image, they ask for live camera feed where you turn your head to the side to make sure you exist in 3d and stuff

        lol wtf!

        I went to use Marketplace last year which meant signing into my old FB account for the first time since like 2013, even though I barely used it before that. Turns out it had been hacked at some point in the last decade and I had to upload a bunch of pics and ID stuff to get it back with a 48 hr review time or something…

        Ooooooor… Just made a new account.

        There was less important dt on that account then there was me giving Meta my latest update on where I am in life now.

        Edit: Actually, just remembered, that old account a friend got my phone and changed all my details. I still get happy birthday messages in April because family get alerted, know I don’t have FB, and send an SMS. No, I was not born in April. I assume I’m still in a “It’s complicated” relationship as well.
