FB as any form of identity should be illegal, totally banned and 2fa
should never even be considered for a social media entertainment
account. Ditto for google. I sure as hell don't want them knowing
diddly squat about me, they have no right to know anything and they have
no right to dig/burrow/whatever to gather any kind of private info. Did
they ever pay you for your personal info? then by what right do they
have to sell your info? Next you'll be calling them the government. FB
is a private business who sell your info to the highest bidder. This
practice should be illegal and banned in every civilized country.
Attempting to generate revenue by selling advertising to a group of
"likes/dislikes" I don't see much wrong with that, but attaching names
and phones to real people is very wrong and sick!
And participants deserve what happens. Yeah, go ahead and give them
your phone number, yeah! Give them your social security and bank
account number too! And your children's private info and while you're
at it throw your parents and grandparents Social security numbers in
there too! Where's your door-code? Might as well give them your house
too! Pretty soon they'll even know what you're wearing under those
pants, oh that's right, you sent pics! Now they not only know what you
look like, but they know your bank your account numbers, your social
security, your address, your birthday, and your whole family as well and
your underwear of the day.
And you gave it all to them for free, no strings and somehow you think a
2fa plus your using your real name is going to protect you? FB and
Google are both guilty of divulging your private data and I can't
remember at any time in the last two decades a social media company ever
going to jail or even paying a serious fine.
Your best safety valve is never giving FB and Google jack-shit in the
first place and 2nd, request congress to put a stop to this gathering of
private lintel and the resell of it.

This got me thinking. What do you think the public's tolerance
would be for full throated protection if it came at the cost of
inconvenience, like you have to verify your identity to reset a
password, but that also means a malicious actor would have to do
the same. If one of the steps required human interaction, like
going to a bank, or the dmv (never the dmv) or any authorized
identity verification location. Almost every jail and police
department in every podunk town has digital fingerprinting now.
Most larger towns have businesses whose sole purpose is
fingerprinting people. There are tons of ways to verify identity
in person on top of the digital mechanisms attached to Nexus.
Would the inconvenience force people to become more proactive to
avoid the inconvenience, like actually use a legitimate password
manager and 2FA? Would they maybe not click every link they see?
I think its obvious that adoption, if voluntary would be
virtually nil. But what if the big 3 apple, Google and facebook
implemented it? Noting that those three also are the verification
medium for a large percentage of everything else.
It's a matter of time until identity theft is a multitrillion
dollar industry, the vast majority is rooted in convenience over
security. I can see even republicans backing funding for this
type of thing considering the cost is going to be much less than
the recovery costs of id theft
People will drive 10 miles to get a wifi signal for facebook,
it's really not outside the realm of reason for this to be a
feasible process.
Can this idea be patented?

Facebook actually supports decent 2FA options like TOTP and
FIDO (i.e.
yubikey) for 2FA. I'd recommend enabling one of those.
