OH my, facebook

I really wish they'd let you organize friends into groups and make settings so that certain groups can't see certain posts. It would make things a lot easier if you're around very different kinds of people.

You can do that. It's been a feature for a while, actually.

Wait, they are actually asking for SSN or a license?  There is no way I would send that information to anyone who isn't my insurance agent or employer.

I just went to check and my dummy account is still active.  I think that it's so inactive that it has escaped notice lol.  If they shut it down, I'll live.

Yup, they really do.
I went back to check and they say the card itself, not the number for Social Security.

Thanks for pointing it out! I can be rather oblivious.

That's what you get and you can't get past that point.
They don't need to know the part 1 information for anybody. lol.
I'm stuck as of now because photo bucket is doing its usual.. I make an edit, save that edit. Then I go to add on another layer, it saves it but then messes up the layers=absolute disaster. If anyone has photo editing software and can lend me a hand on this I would greatly appreciate it. I have customs images on this account that I don't own anymore and don't have the images stored anywhere else...

Oh! I remember when a singer I follow on Instagram posted that she's been blocked from her FB account as they said her name wasn't real (which it was). She was lucky enough to be famous so they unlocked her account the very next day. I think a couple of her thousands of fans wrote complaints along with her. They've not requested this in Sweden, but I think we give out our social security number when we sign up..

My issue is the confidentiality.. I thought mine was high and locked for outsiders and then a person I really don't like commented on pictures that was friends only and suddenly knew my boyfriends name.. I had to watch a youtube video on how to really make it closed for people who aren't on my friends list. But now, the only thing showing is my picture.

This is really hitting the transgender community hard It's the reason I haven't changed my name on Facebook. I use the nickname feature for BlackCurtains when pony people and whoever else want to find me, but my page is under my birth name. It's... irritating, to say the least.

This sounds like a huge mess, and makes me want to join it even less.

I got it a few months ago.  Even though it has a lot of my art stuff (two stores and commissions are advertised there) I didn't go through the verification.  It really feels like phishing to me even if it is real.  What kind of social media site asks for a driver's license and social security card (US).  I read that some people complied and still weren't let back in.

It actually IS phishing. It's just being done by a major website. If you read the terms when you sign up for the site, you agree that Facebook is allowed to do a lot of very sketchy things (For instance, they own and can [and will] sell pictures that you post on there).

If anyone needs fake library cards, I can get some for you, actually. Just say the word.

And I'm sure there are arena members who will send you a note with the name you want and your address via snailmail.

Its really inconvenient, it's not happened to me personally, but I admin the "My Little Pony items + loads of other 80's toys I keep finding" group and many of our members have been affected by this.  Some have been in the middle of settling transactions when their account has been blocked which leads to all kinds of upsets.  For one, it looks like they have blocked admin which is a big no no.  Then it looks like they've blocked the seller/buyer so it has all the smells of scamming someone.  Fortunately in most cases they do manage to get back in touch - either through a partners FB account or via other methods (I do try and message through the Arena if they are also on here) but still, a MAJOR headache

Apparently they are working on that.  But as you can have documents that count under your real name rather than your birth name as a transgender person, you can register like that.  You just have to have your real name be official in some way.

Another reason why I refuse to have any social media account...

[cassstorm]

What about creating a "page" for Pony related and keeping your stuff seperate?  What I find odd about this is how many kids I know have Facebook.. Under different birthdates etc.. But haven't heard of any of them having to verify

I would take this option rather than having two accounts.  I recently looked into it extensively for a not-for-profit organisation.  It's a good option.
