I found a video online that I want to watch. The trouble is, it's on facebook and it says you need an account to watch it. So I tried to sign up to facebook, but when it gets to a certain stage in the process it says:

**Confirm your identity with a video selfie

To make sure that you're a real person, we need you to record a video selfie. We'll ask you to move your head during the recording to help us capture your face at different angles.**

What the hell? Is it me, or does this seem insanely sinister? what do they want this for?

Last time I made a burner account on fb to troll chud boomers was back in 2020 right around when the chapo sub got banned. Anyway back then you could make an account with a fake name and get away with it but I see times have changed for the worse.
