Facebook's New Captcha Test: 'Upload A Clear Photo of Your Face' (wired.com)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday November 29, 2017 @08:10AM from the yay-or-nay dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Facebook may soon ask you to "upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face," to prove you're not a bot. The company is using a new kind of captcha to verify whether a user is a real person. According to a screenshot of the identity test shared on Twitter on Tuesday and verified by Facebook, the prompt says: "Please upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face. We'll check it and then permanently delete it from our servers." The process is automated, including identifying suspicious activity and checking the photo. To determine if the account is authentic, Facebook looks at whether the photo is unique.

I get closer and closer to deleting Facebook permanently every day.
I did it a year ago, don't miss it at all. I have no interest whatsoever in Facebook, or any of their social media crap.
At this point, I pretty much don't use any websites which require me to login. I'm over it. It's amazing how easy it is to live without this shit.
