File under, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished ...
Over on FB, I always report spoofed accounts of my friends. I receive a phony friend request, I click on the three dots and report it.
I did that this morning, only to be instantly suspended myself!
To be restored, FB wanted both a selfie and a copy of my driver's license. I gave it to them, but I really have a problem with these social media companies asking us for personal identification.
Thankfully, #CoSo and @th3j35t3r don't stoop to that.
@WordsmithFL I'd have been inclined to take that as my cue to leave FB. I *actually* quit that place just before all the Cambridge Analytica news came out, and while I understand some find it indispensable, for me, ditching FB and Twitter made an enormous difference to my mental wellbeing.
In my opinion, if you *can* quit them, you *should*.

@stueytheround As with Zombie Twitter, the reality is that we need both to interact with professionals and friends. At least I do.
Now I'm being bombarded by the bots claiming to know some guy who can fix it, if I only reach out to this obscure account and given them my personal information ... 🙄 I've been hit with ten of these so far. I keep blocking and reporting them.
