Bree Giffen Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Only users with a large amount of subscribers? I wonder what the magic number of subscribers will be. Getting to use a fake name would create an anointed tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Weatherwax Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Why - did they finally work out that my av has more disposable income and contacts than its driver? =^^= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Artis Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm not so sure about the part "These users will be prompted to submit an image of a government-issued photo ID, which is deleted after verification.." Its a known fact that Fb doesn't even delete reported photos! http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2399914,00.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamara Artis Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes... Everything you ever posted is there forever, even if not visible atm. Like a public database for "someone" to use lol but that database needs to have only real people, thats why Fb "killed" tons of SL avis last year, mine too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Malibu Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They sort of do already. When I got mine I had to show them my trademark registration as it showed as a trademark name but since we own my name it wasn't too hard to do.

161488303349 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 fb now a public company. they will be in deep trouble if they say they will delete and then not do. is one thing for a private company to wing this kinda stuff but not for a public company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Artis Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes but delete means its not publicly available, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveAngeL Lyre Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I deleted my account there about 5 years ago and i would never create a new account again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage Riptide Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 They won't pay users for their information that they earn from (now estimated at $100 per user after the float). Do they give anything back? Anyway, I don't even see that FB thumbs up image anymore (the TRACKIING ICON), anywhere. Successful blockage of FB is successful.
