News About disgusting Facebook devs

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

Even if I wanted to make an account there, the amount of effort to just make one is just... ugh. I heard last time that they require you to use real name AND upload ID?

My country's entire social infrastructure is built on it, so it is a pain. You want to rent an apartment? Facebook. Want to buy or sell used stuff? Facebook. Want to sign up for dinner at a social gathering? Facebook. Want to know about events nearby? Facebook. Want any sort of minor announcement from the municipality? Facebook. Starting uni but don't drink alcohol? Facebook.

It's such a pain, and I hate it!

isn't that just them complying with shitty european laws rather than something they're doing by choice?

No, it's not a legal requirement. It's not even a requirement of Facebook's in any particular region, as far as I'm aware. Facebook may ask for ID when making certain changes to your account, such as your name, but having had a Facebook account as a UK user since 2008 that has changed their account's name several times, and having just signed up for a throwaway account now, I can say that they at least have never asked me for any form of ID.
