Default facebook requesting picture id now?

Iv only been using facebook to look around on job groups. All the sudden I get a pop up and it is requesting 2 pieces of picture ID showing name, birthday and clear picture.

Safe to say the received a picture of a leprechaun mooning the screen as I will not give out that information and it will not let me use my account until I send the requested pictures.

they have gone to far

anyone else have this happen?

I've not seen that, but one can provide ID without providing too much information. If your Facebook already has your name and picture of you then you won't likely mind providing them with those details and nothing else. Take some blue masking tape and cover up your DL # and address and anything else you want that isn't your name or photo and send them a scan of that.

Are you using a nickname on Facebook? They will ask for ID to verify accounts that they feel are not real.
