\"You
Are you willing to send Facebook one of your selfies? (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Facebook could stop you from accessing the social network unless you\u2019re willing to send in a selfie.<\/p>\n

It has been telling users they need to file a \u2018clear photo\u2019 or risk being locked out.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg\u2019s firm is demanding selfies as part of a new security test designed to prove people aren\u2019t \u2018bots\u2019, the name for automated pieces of software designed to perform tasks online.<\/p>\n

Bots have been in the news recently because they have been used to spread fake news and propaganda which is alleged to have played a role in the election of Donald Trump and even the Brexit vote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was recently suggested that Russia used Facebook to interfere with the referendum.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

a friend sent me this: Facebook is now locking users out of account features, then demanding that those users "verify" their account to get back in by scanning an image of their face. AN IMAGE OF THEIR FACE. pic.twitter.com\/T4TIsJFxX8<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 can Amy Goodman pls stop inviting Assange on thx (@flexlibris) November 28, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Facebook told Wired the selfie security system would \u2018help us catch suspicious activity at various points of interaction on the site, including creating an account, sending friend requests, setting up ads payments, and creating or editing ads\u2019.<\/p>\n

On Twitter, Facebookers said they received a message which said: \u2018Please upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face. We\u2019ll check it and then permanently delete it from our servers.\u2019<\/p>\n

Facebook is not the only company which uses pictures of its users to vouch for their identity.<\/p>\n

Apple recently introduced Face ID, a clever security system which is used to unlock the iPhone X, which features a front-facing camera capable of scanning the contours of someone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Apple is very conscious of its users\u2019 privacy, so the data gathered during Face ID scans is kept in a \u2018vault\u2019 within each iPhone X and cannot be transferred to another device.<\/p>\n

It is not stored on a central server and Apple does not collect any images of its customers\u2019 faces.<\/p>\n

Facebook, on the other hand, is explicitly asking to see images of your face \u2013 and asking you to trust it to delete any selfies you send it.<\/p>\n

\"You

It recently asked people worried about revenge porn to send in their nudes or graphic sex images<\/a> if they have become concerned a partner is planning to publish them on the social network.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s lust for images of its users is likely to spark privacy concerns among people worried that Facebook wants to hoover up too much private information.<\/p>\n

In 2011, a judge ruled that its facial recognition software broke European laws because it effectively collected sensitive biometric data without users\u2019 consent.<\/a><\/p>\n
