I created a Facebook account to join a private group. A day after creating the account, they suspended it, claiming it “didn’t follow community standards on account integrity and authentic identity.” I had to upload a selfie, which I did. After two days, they reactivated my account and apologized for the inconvenience. Two days later, they suspended my account again for the same reason. Now, I have to record a video of my face, slowly turning it left and right.

I’m starting to worry that Facebook might be pulling a trick to gather biometric data. If they were honest about it, I might consider it, but the lack of transparency makes me hesitant.

Would you upload the selfie video?
