I've had this happen and did upload the selfie but I think it happened because I was blocking some extra stuff that it was flagging my account to be automated

I don't give my picture to social media but in a way the fact that you have to take pictures directly from your app is the proper way to digitalised identifing someone. Back to the time where people phisically register, people will showed up to prove which face they have an match it with an non reproductible identity card. But, now I could easily inpersonnate 5 or 10 of my relative and love-ones from the picture I have from them and image of their id-card or another official document they have give me access to, or they have access from my computer once.

Follow up message be like

"Hi this is mark from instagram, so a face scan wasnt enough to verify your account. We sent you vials to fill with your dna, so we can be 100% sure.just to verify that you are who you say you are thanks!."

They didn't delete your account. They deactivated it. It's still worth money to them

How did you get in contact with them? They locked my account 2 months ago for unknown reasons.

It’s coming from inside the Instagram!

How much US military-industrial Kool-Aid have you drunk?

This is how I ended up getting my account deleted as well. 3D scan of my head was a immediate nope.

Maybe for app banking app (and even...), it could be understanding but for instagram, NEVER! Even for security reason... Bro they don't care about anything on their network, allow soft porn and all that kind of stuff. And after all of that they are going to come to say that it is for security reasons 😂 Stay on the "libre" web, Lemmy is a great start! 👌

Yet all those Instagram bots still exist. Weird

The PM of China has nothing to fucking do with Mark Lizardman Zuckerberg wanting your data, please shut the fuck up if you're going to be verifiably ignorant
