In reply to the discussion: Facebook Asking Some Users To Upload Government Issued IDs [View all]bathroommonkey76
(3,827 posts)20. Why are there 50 profile privacy options on FB?
I know that I am exaggerating a bit, but FB tends to not explain their actions for the average user to understand. They have been doing this type of thing for a long time.
They don't need your id #s. FB already knows who you are. With all of the information they collect on their users it's conceivable that your face is in some database somewhere. I do not trust these clowns for their sly data gathering techniques and neither should YOU!

No one has to do it. This is for celebrities that want to go by their stage name.
