What if I don't have my face as my profile picture ? Will I be denied entry at the border because the officer cannot "verify" that the FB profile belongs to me ?

I can forsee many idiosyncratic incidents waiting to happen in the near future with this.

It's similar to a problem i had a few years ago when signing up for Airbnb. At the time I didn't use social networks, so there was no way for me to verify my identity except for a baroque, unoptimized process in which i sent a scan of my ID, and even then i wasn't successful. At what point will it become recommended and then inevitably required that people applying for US visas have active profiles from one of the accepted providers?
