Facebook account can not be opened as easily as before. Added some new rules for opening a Facebook account. From now on, to open a Facebook account, you must add at least one profile picture and some information specific to the account.
In addition to the new rules, at least one mobile number must be given on Facebook.
The IANS report said Facebook authorities have taken steps to stop inactive accounts and prevent anonymous harassment.
According to an IANS report, for those who have more than one Facebook account, giving additional information to Facebook has become a problem. These users will have to go through the account verification process to login to Facebook. If these accounts do not have a mobile number, then Facebook will ask for the mobile number and at least one profile picture. And Facebook is not going to open multiple Facebook IDs with the same mobile number.
Many have already deleted their actual accounts from Facebook in fear of the loss of privacy or personal data protection. Those users are logging in to Facebook to create another dummy or 'fake' account.
Facebook will force them to give their mobile numbers and profile pictures as a mechanism against these dummy accounts.
