By email... Just to add insult to injury

What definition of the word scam are you using here? What promise of a product that you pay for that isn't being delivered, with uploading your id to a site on the Internet?

I'm not gonna get hoodwinked into highbrow shenanigans. Social media doesn't need IDs to work, demanding it is a scam.

Defining a word isn't "highbrow shenanigans", although I guess it depends on how you define that.

If you think social media needs your ID for any reasonable cause, we're free to disagree on that. My point was clear, bullshit technicalities on the word scam are meaningless when you understand the meaning.

Rhetoric won't save you from the embarrassing situation you created for yourself. You accused something of being a scam without understanding the definition of the word. Now that your claim has been challenged, you're trying to redefine terms and argue around the issue rather than admit you were wrong.

From dictionary.cambridge.org: a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people:

I can easily see a social media company demanding an ID falling under this definition if the accuser believes that the actual use of said ID will be different or more expansive than implied. That is not an unreasonable assumption, IMO.
