    How are you about to do that on Facebook? I can’t even sign up without it asking for my ID

      I had an account for about 10 years which I never used at first, then a fair bit for 3-4 years, linked it to Instagram and WhatsApp. Then I didn’t sign into Facebook for 2-3 years and when I tried, despite having the same email and using the linked IG accounts, they demanded my drivers license. Uh, no way in hell I’ll ever do that, so guess I’m not signing into stupid Facebook. Not sure who the hell they think they are or why they believe I’d consider their awful website so important as to send them my ID.

        Curious if you give Discord your phone number?

          I haven’t used discord but I’m sure I’ve supplied plenty of personally identifiable information to other companies.

          I don’t but I am aware that it can be used to identify you, as well as from other people if they give open access to their contacts. They only have my email.
