I had FB a long long time ago, when it wasn't open to the public yet. I kept that account open but barely used it. At some point I got a message from FB saying I had to 1) use my real name and 2) provide my ID to prove it. I didn't do any of those. I figured they'd close my account but they never did. I ended up closing it myself a few years later. Also, I had Nextdoor for a while. My account got suspended for not using my real name nor provided my ID. A lot of people still actively use both networks. And Meta owns IG, so I figure you gotta provide an ID for it too.

If you don’t give the info, you don’t get to join. It’s easy to sound cavalier when you’re talking about something you don’t even use..🤦🏻‍♂️
