I've been automatically logged out and they're asking me to upload ID, passport info etc. Firstly this stops anyone using Facebook on a mobile device because you have to upload a JPEG and secondly I assume gets most kids, terrorists and non-computer owners off the site.

I'm just cross! My business runs on there!

Anybody else having the same issues?

Hmm that doesn't sound right? Have you been hacked? NEVER upload any personal ID - I don't think there are any plans for Facebook to do this so could be criminal activity!!

its been happening to loads of people since 2002

When sending a copy of your ID, Facebook requests users cover up sensitive information like a license or passport number. Facebook said it deletes these copies after verification is complete.

While many don’t seem comfortable with Facebook asking for their IDs, the top comment on a thread about the issue on reddit has a solution.

“Whenever people complain about what Facebook is doing, surely the answer is always the same – quit using Facebook…,” TriggerHappy_NZ wrote.

Facebook make you do that now if they suspect you aren't usng your real name. For example i had a friend for 6 years who use the name Dekker Isicilites and just a few months ago they told him he had to send in his passport and change his name to his real one.

I don't use my real name on Facebook but it's not a made up one so they've left me alone. If they catch me, i'll be deleting it as their not getting a copy of my I.D. for anything! I won't even let an employer take a copy of my passport. Cheeky fuckers!

Set up your own website? Can be done quickly.

Add google+, twitter, disqus etc etc, if you don't want/can't use FB.

Facebook have been clamping down on accounts where people do not use their real names.Could this be the reason?

In those cases they have been asking people to prove who they are.

I don't put any real details on fb even the names and e-mail addy is fake

It's there for people I know to leave me messages and for me to contact them plus some of the buy and sell groups are usefull.

I would never give them my real details, open to too many potential problems

From FB

What names are allowed on Facebook?

Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. We require people to provide the name they use in real life; that way, you always know who you're connecting with. This helps keep our community safe.

Other things to keep in mind:

The name you use should be your authentic identity; as your friends call you in real life and as our acceptable identification forms would show.

Nicknames can be used as a first or middle name if they're a variation of your authentic name (like Bob instead of Robert).

You can also list an additional name on your account (ex: maiden name, nickname, professional name).

Pretending to be anything or anyone isn't allowed.

I have dogs and I only ever go to places that have their own websites. I don't have Facebook and wouldn't look for companies on there.

Having your own website makes sense and there are plenty of website builders where you can host a simple website for free

I have a few internet people who I've only met online on my FB. Mostly from vanilla forums but some from swingy places. I've not met them all the same. I have some friends of friends I've never met either. I don't collect ransoms but I like people.

In my own opinion, I'm not a sad twat.

They wouldn't allow me to be John Doe without proof of I.D. so I registered under a different unfindable name, which was allowed, if they ask for ID I can simply close it down and re-open it under another name, I have no friends on FB, only need an account so I can see how to use it for websites I write.

BUT if you are running a business through FB that is different, and you may need to look into what you need to do to maintain your account. ALWAYS back that up with your own website so something you control is the centre of your business with FB Twatter etc. as outreach advertising. Your own website is very simple to put together, lots of free software to help you and total cost can be as low as £10 a year (I charge £50 but that includes help, domain name, and hosting) you will have basic hosting on your Internet Provider package, so all you need is a domain name and a day to write it.

Deleted my Facebook account years ago, as I was sick to death of unwanted messages, requests and updates. I haven't missed it and I would never think to use it as a search tool for businesses.

Nobody needs Facebook.

Nobody needs twatter.

Nobody needs kik.

You can get on with your life without them, and you will have far more time on your hands.

Love FB have a laugh with mates past and present and keep in touch with friends around the world easily. Makes me smile every day. Just the sad folk that post endless inane crap or attention seeking rubbish that I delete.

Use my real name so never been asked for ID. As with all social media treat it with care. I can see it's useful for business as I usually check FB before I go to a business. Hugely useful as a customer service tool too. Had to tackle a few large companies about services before, got nowhere until I had the conversation on public FB wall then got results. Each to their own but I like it

For local or small businesses I do often look for a Facebook page so can understand why the OP would like to be able to get back in.

I still like Facebook, although I don't use it as much as I did when I was at uni. It shows you what it shows you based on who you are friends with on there. Those who whinge on about drama, immaturity or whatever on there must need better friends.

You can get on with your life without them, and you will have far more time on your hands.

I see where you're coming from but I'm a bit different, probably, to most people here. I was born abroad and went to school there. I am never, I mean NEVER, going to bump into any of my friends. However, we have arranged meetings, reunions, holidays, video chats etc on Facebook since it started. We found each other on Friends Reunited but Facebook is so much better for that. I have friends on every continent. They were all at my school, which only ever had 120 pupils so we are a special bunch! All share the same upbringing, sense of humour, stories, experiences, lifestyle. Only they truly know what my life was like in that bubble. It's weird to anybody who wasn't there, but we have a very special connection. So, catching up with their parents, siblings and children is great. I feel like I never left them at 16. We're all over the world but that doesn't mean we're out of each other's lives.

Hail the bubble!

Its a legal obligation for your employer to take a copy of either uk id or foreign id plus visa as proof of fight to work in the UK ... they need to hold this on file to demostrate due dilligence in not employing illegal workers

Not to mention a number of jobs will want id to complete a disclosure check on you

I don't think it's snobbery as such. What pissed me off is the presumption, by businesses more than anything, that I a signed up to these things. They seem to have thrown all their communications into Facebook and without it, your incommunicado. Fuck em.
