Thanks for the advice. The problem is that I have not been on this account for years and when I tried to logon I was asked for my birthdate. First, I don't remember ever giving them this information. More importantly I must have committed a typo if I did enter my birthdate. As a result I cannot dupulicate the birthdate I entered and cannot logon to make changes.
This is why FB asked for a photo ID. Without a doubt FB is a data harvester. Regardless or how they are using that information, (btw, the goverment loves what FB is doing), they can always sell that info to the highest bidder for any purpose. Once an individual posts that information it is there to stay forever. In contrast, every other site I use that has increased there secrutiy measures has asked for information that only I would know, i.e, elementry school, childhood friend, etc., and not one has ever asked for a photo ID. I am referring to financial websites and not social ones. It is clear to me, as it should be to you, that FB is collecting data and trying to verify the info they have is accurate.
Dude111,
Thanks. FB continually sends my emails with "do you know....?" Recently I they mentioned the name of a childhood friend and I tried to logon on which was when I learned I could not. It is obvious that FB used these emails as teasers to get members to actively participate contributing more and more information about themselves and others.
FWIW, unless you know a place has to report earning or such to the IRS, you can LIE about your birthdate. A lot of people were born on the Fourth of July and Christmas.

Some sites are smart enough that I cannot enter February 29 in an odd number year.
Not all, but some.
I get confused every year when I get birthday greetings to start off March.
I will admit, I have a fakebook acct but ONLY to research certain people who I know, who can't see me. I receive no ads, friend requests or notifications, because my acct is locked down completely to only me.
IF you you knew my username which is is fictitious, it wouldn't even come up.
As far as I'm concerned that's the ONLY way to have a acct. is if it's ONLY accessible to YOU!
Excellent........ The best thing you ever did!!!!!
I second that!!!!! down with the Farcebook, down with the Farcebook. It is time to stop to stop the anti-privacy machine, that is fricking flipbook, and time to take back the internet from it.
Best move you will ever make.
