Waaaaah?!? I had facebook for almost a year, using it purely to play games and chat with a friend(and nope, I never use my real name on the web, not even on FB). Nothing else. Then I started reading things about them planning some changes and how dangerous it is etc. THEN they started asking for a phone number, at first subtly (I just had to click it off every time I logged in lol). I had enough and followed the wise bunch of people, leaving the FB behind.

Asking for a phone number was enough for me (and it's kinda funny because heck, you can give any number you want these days). But asking for a photocopy of legal documents? WTF? Are they for real?

Yeah, I just said no thanks until they made it mandatory. Funny thing is, I probably would have gone along with it but THEIR system was down and after four attempts to get through, it said I was a spammer and would have to contact support directly ( ... )

This is why I avoided the crazy from the get go and happily made my own brand of crazy. Stupid fuckers can piss off for all of me.

I did for a long time, then it became convenient for many reasons. Convenience, though, only goes so far. Any Internet company stupid enough to ask me for photocopies of my driver's license, passport, school ID, and birth certificate is not for me.

I've had FB for years, and to my knowledge I've never been asked for my phone number. O.o Did I miss something?
