I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.
However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.
Yeah, bullshit. This is to help train their facial recognition AI.
I mean, it's a bit of both.
I don't think they care if you're real anymore
They care quite a bit.
Bots and spammers make for miserable revenue generators. If you don't distinguish your marks from your players, there's no way to make money at the poker table.
I would agree with this if Zuck hadn't been in the news recently talking about how Meta is desperately filling their userbase with bots, on purpose
There is a big difference between bots you control and use for you own gain, and bots that someone else owns and uses for their gain
Their point still stands - the bots need to know who to target to generate revenue, otherwise they waste your money.
I would agree with this and in fact I do

Can't really be a bit of both because they can't confirm shit if they don't know what you look like in the first place. It could be to confirm that you are human (and maybe that you don't already have an account) but they can't confirm your "identity".
Sadly they totally can. There are plenty of face databases already that they could use if they wanted[^1], but if you have friends on Facebook (or Instagram) you might be in their pictures and Facebook run it's facial recognition on every picture. Whether they can connect that to an identity or not isn't something I know, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Tangentially related, I remember over ten years ago getting notified that I could tag myself in friends uploaded pictures that I was in, which was also when I started to get really creeped out by Facebook.
[^1]: I remember this podcast about some https://www.searchengine.show/should-this-creepy-search-engine-exist/ but there is a decent amount of reporting about them
and if they find or know a way to sell that with the other data colleted from you, they will proudly do it
It's deff KYC bullshit first and fore most. Training data is a cherry
Kyc requirements are for banks
Yeah banks and other financial institutions are elegally madated to do it.
Social media does it for "fun"
this is not a kyc requirement imposed on facebook based on laws, but by facebook based on their ToS.
