And, in some countries, even making copies or photographing or scanning an ID is a crime. I’ll not commit a crime just to get access to Facebook.

I love learning random facts like this. Can I get a citation/link to where coping your own ID is a crime?

In Germany, making a copy of your own ID is probably legal but requesting a copy is illegal, as is making a copy if you are not the owner, with only very limited exceptions (e.g. some parts of government, for some financial transactions).

(Completely ignoring the fact that real name policies are legally dubious as well)
