After creating an account on Facebook, I was dismayed to find that it was blocked almost immediately. My attempt to share a link to a GoFundMe campaign seemed innocuous enough, but Facebook's stringent verification process turned into a frustrating ordeal. Without any clear explanation, my account was disabled, and I was left wondering what I had done wrong. To add insult to injury, the platform demanded that I submit a 3D scan of my face for verification—a request that felt like a violation of my privacy and personal space.The experience highlighted a troubling trend in Facebook's approach to user security and privacy. It has become increasingly concerning how the platform tracks its users, often under the guise of verification and safety. While they prioritize the protection of their ecosystem, it seems legitimate users like myself are often unfairly targeted and blocked. Meanwhile, the platform remains riddled with users and groups who exploit its systems to steal identities and financial information, yet these malicious accounts seem to go unchecked. It raises a stark question: how can a site that fails to protect its users from real threats justify blocking honest individuals simply trying to connect and share?
