Facebook deactivates new accounts - Anyone have a work-around?

[StraightShooter2]

I tried creating a Facebook account and it was instantly deactivated, and demanded I verify it with a cell phone and send them a photo. After I send the photo, the account stays deactivated.

I tried this with multiple accounts and it always happens; I even tried using proxies and a different browser, and it still happens every time, anyone have a way around this? Thanks.

All of big tech has become quite exceptional at identifying VPNs, proxies, and other obfuscation techniques in my very limited experience. I don't have an answer but I am curious why you're doing this.
I will say it's definitely possible, but I don't know how. Facebook is VERY good at tracking and tracked a guy who used TOR to generally avoid them. Story linked below. I say this as a warning that you may not be as invisible as you expect.

Facebook Helped the FBI Hack a Child Predator

Facebook paid a cybersecurity firm six figures to develop a zero-day in Tails to identify a man who extorted and threatened girls.

I've got the same problem. I've even paid a few bucks to buy a FB account, it was also instantly deactivated. Facebook has become really really good at this. Proxies I think are more likely to hurt you than help you. The "send photo" feature I think actually wants a photo of a person who (via face recognition) doesn't have facebook, which is creepy.

Would https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ work to avoid that then?

Nothing I need to hide; the first time I created an account I used a picture of a famous person, which I think is what got the first account deactivated; now whenever I try to create a new account, it instantly deactivates it and demands a photo, and no matter what photo I use (I even used a real one of myself), it doesn't work.

People use VPNs and proxies for malicious shit. There do exist reputable blacklist aggregators like Mxtooltox and cyrmu which are used all around the web for miscellaneous things to prevent abuse. Check to see if your VPN/proxy IP has been flagged by AbuseIPDB et al. If it has, I wouldn’t even bother.

That was likely your problem. Got yourself flagged probably. Clearing cookies and using a diff proxy may not be enough either.

Any idea what is that they're able to flag?

I used a different browser and a different IP; I even changed the monitor resolution since I heard some websites track that.

Doesn't the computer hard drive have some kind of static address which can be blacklisted?

They do lots of things but as far as I know it's all through the web browser on your desktop, they shouldn't be able to see your hardware IDs. EFF has a tool for testing browser fingerprinting that may help you see what websites can see from your browser.

I still have an old fake account from 2006 with 1 friend, which of course is another fake account of mine. No way I would send Spybook a photo or my phone number. I log in once a year and it worked last Christmas. This sucks and will do nothing to prevent fake accounts.

What in the actual fuck op?!?!

Change your patterns. Don't instantly join that facebook group. Use a common name, switch it later on. Act like an old boomer just setting up his account for a week or month before you actually use it. After a month time limit or so you should be good.

why the fuck are you even trying to get on Facebook in the first place?

There's quite a few lolcows active on Facebook and it's easier to track / view content with an account. Least that would be my reason but I can't be bothered to put the effort into signing up.

I mean, you could always try stealing a random person's WiFi when you create the account and then verify it using a cheap burner phone paid for in cash. Idk if that would be enough to prevent it from being subsequently deactivated if you later logged in from a VPN or proxy, though.

Make sure a valid form of ID is visible and readable in the dickpic.

I bet using a neighbor's wifi would work fine, I didn't even consider it but maybe I will test it this weekend. If I do I will update this thread and say whether it worked or not.
If anyone who has had troubles making a facebook wants to have that same capability then your laptop network card is likely incapable of this. I believe Alfa cards (Alfa Networks) are the most commonly used tools for monitoring wifi on the fly and also extending wifi range.

Hacking wifi is illegal and I'm not going to help anyone hack any networks they do not legally have access too. With that said if you'd like to learn the weaknesses of wifi and secure your own network, I recommend starting with looking up how to get a wifi password using reaver.
It's easier than the actual password cracking method and shows just how insecure most networks are. If you want to avoid this ever being used against you, disable WPS on your router, you don't use it anyway.

The other common method is actual password cracking but it takes a long time and isn't as noob-friendly imo.
Disclaimer: You will not be invisible on the network and most routers will log your computer name + the mac address of the wifi card used to connect to it. I recommend disabling your built-in network card to avoid accidental connections with it.

Maybe your neighbor can give you their wifi password and you can try out the facebook thing before I test it.

I kept an old burner Facebook around forever, when they asked for a photo verification I sent them a Goatse and never heard back ever again.
