What are shitboxes?
Inexpensive cars
Video selfie... Lol :) People who agree to this must be desperate to use Facebook.
Step 1: Don't sign up for Facebook
I haven't had Facebook in years, but I'll admit the marketplace is pretty damn good for finding secondhand deals. Luckily (unluckily) my wife doesn't give two shits about being spied on so I browse it from her phone
and what else do I use? Craigslist dead as he'll, autotrader and the like have comparitively nice cars
I recommend autotempest as it searches multiple sites.
If you're looking for cheap cars, check if your state/city/area has a govenment auction site. In minnesota we have MNBid and you can usually pick up impounded vehicles or old govenment fleet vehicles for dirt cheap.
Have you tried going to some of those lower end local used car lots? Before cl and fb we used to look through the newspaper and go to used car lots. I know you'll pay a little more than from a private seller unless you haggle, but at least there's a selection. No Facebook required.
Run, run far away and forget you ever heard of fb!!
The more this invasive behavior becomes the norm, the worse off ALL of us will be.
video selfie
Wtf
Instagram wanted that to re-activate my account after they froze it due to "inactivity" because I hadn't logged into it in a couple of months.
I noped out and abandoned it (because I couldn't even delete it without first going through the privacy invision to reactivate it and login...)
I've had two cases where phishers have tried to create an account to impersonate my aunt. My guess this is an attempt to curtail these phishing schemes.
There are options for additional checks they could explore that are less creepy.
- Make someone pay a one time charge. This might not give you the full details but the transaction gives more data, and shows someone is willing to back up their request for access with a paper trail which has fraud protection laws.
- Third party verification services. Like your bank, who already have details about you. There just needs to be a way for them to vouch for you. Credit reporting agencies probably already do this, but I kinda think this is almost creepier than giving Facebook a video.
- Verifying the email attached to your account is a good first step.
In the meantime I think knowing the password should at least get you logged in enough for account maintenance. You should be able to set the entire account private and take it offline with limited toggles. Restoring full access would require the additional verification.
That reminds me: I need to delete my Facebook account.
Don't forget to change all your personal details and pictures first.
They may never delete anything, but as long as they think you take them seriously, they have to accept change.
they still need a video selfie from me
Holy shit the normie web really has gotten that bad?
Enjoy your cattle pen!
Just give up. It is not worth it, anyway.
Don't! It's fucking worthless.
make a list of everyone that you would want to keep in touch with on facebook. then keep in touch with them directly.
zero. I need marketplace for the cheap shitboxes
He only wants it for marketplace. I can sympathise, that’s where all the really good awful car deals are, and cheap tools that I don’t need, but really want
New rules stipulate the butthole must be visible for your privacy and security.
It sounds like you know but you don’t want to do it.
Make a video selfie but wear a mask or use a filter to obscure your true face. Maybe use AI, but be sure to strip the metadata.
Go down to the FB headquarters and give them your pinky finger.
This actually made me LOL
