[Users] who believe they have been wrongly categorised as under 16 can ask for a review and submit a “video selfie” to verify their age. They can also provide a driver’s licence or a government-issued identification.

Because uploading your image and ID to Meta isn’t a security risk at all, oh no.

For another, The FB account they wanted me to get at least two user friends to verify they know me or some bs like that. I didn’t butter. Years later I was able to log into that one anyhow.

They know that they can’t push too hard.
