after many years of disregarding facebook out of principle I found that I have to have a profile or I cannot view many local vendors that only have a facebook presence.
I made a dedicated virtual machine, and a vpn for it, got a proton email address and signed up with a random name.
a week later my account was suspended for violating their community standards, and if I wanted to get it back I would have to provide a copy of my drivers license.
Note that I had only used facebook to look at their marketplace 3 times for a few minutes, joined no lists and had posted nothing.
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
When I went there I got this:
“Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to archive.vn. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
“What can you do about it?
“The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.”
