It just doesn't make sense that there is no way for an average real person to get verified and display an instant signal that differentiates them from a fake bot

It's the old tech cliché: "Because it doesn't scale." Which is just an excuse for "We're lazy and don't want to spend money on things that don't directly benefit our cafeteria and office toys."

After quitting Facebook a couple of years ago, I tried to log in to my Facebook account back in December to say Merry Christmas to some people, but I am locked out. Facebook asked me to send in a government photo ID, which I did. Nothing has happened since.

Responsibility doesn't scale. Accountability doesn't scale. Service doesn't scale. Doing the right thing doesn't scale.

On the plus side, I'm still not using Facebook.

I read that as: After quitting Facebook as an employee a couple of years ago

Which made this:

> I tried to log in to my Facebook account back in December to say Merry Christmas to some people, but I am locked out. Facebook asked me to send in a government photo ID, which I did. Nothing has happened since.

Sound so very petty and cold blooded. You know, the Facebook we all know and love ;)
