Ok.

I'll go to whatever platform doesn't require it. Thanks though.

I think I'll just lose my account, thanks!

Facebook started (for no legitimate reason I can see) to not allow me to login like three or four years ago because they stopped accepting my second auth factor. They told me the only way I could login from now on was if I gave them a scan of my driver's license, and I'm never doing that. So, I just let the stale account sit there in that digital graveyard.

I don't think we need experts to tell us this is not a good idea

Starting to sound like ai is going to be useful after all..

To create a realistic old person character to bypass these.

you don't even need AI for that, some people used the photo mode in Death Stranding
