Facebook Requiring Government ID?

They just blink the oopsy-daisy, your account got hacked light ... And everybody is all pre-greased and Pavlovian trained to just roll over and ...

Other things? ;D
It also looks like their BS memes are starting to go all Flannery O'Connor "Every (Meme) that rises must converge"!
"Let's require your government ID to prove it's you so that when your account gets hacked we can prove ... uh ... Oh. $hit. "
But has anyone noticed some separate train of law managed to get HIPAA info treated the way all "social media" should be treated, with tiptoes?
Can we find a way to beat these brats at their own game with something like a HIPAA violation if they keep pulling these "oops we lost your privacy settings" stunts?
Cynical jokes aside, there *are* a few sane voices trying to do something about all this, it's just they're massively outnumbered 100-1 so the best they can do is put paper mache in tidal dams!
But this one is different, because Gov IDs are the "gold standard" for when entities like to think they are "serious" about security. So you get a bunch of THOSE all mixed up in some Haxxored social media, and then someone with legit clout might wake up and do something about all this!
