Happened to me. Had a fake profile to test some apps and when they asked for an ID, I literally sent a pic of my MIDDLE FINGER. They accepted.

Did you make sure to remove the EXIF metadata? It would be ironic if it has the image location coordinates in it.

They can get your location to various degrees of precision just from your IP address.

200 iq move by facebook, now they have the biometric reading from the nail on your middle finger

Seriously? I’ve never even given it an email I use, let alone phone number, where do they get off asking for ID?

He may also be an admin of a Facebook page. I was an admin for my job's (an absolutely important to no one but our community company) page, and Facebook suddenly decided one day that I was a 'high value person of interest' , which made me a possible hacking target. The wanted all kinds of personal info, including a copy of my ID, to prove I wasn't some hacker, or they would disable all my access. Fuck no I'm not giving you that, go ahead and disable me
