@pjh If you use that photo for your ID pic, do you have to make sure to keep a piece of frosted glass handy in case you need to authenticate yourself?

@gurth Finding a suitable cupboard to lean into while holding up your cellphone would seem to be the more pressing issue...

This one actually makes sense, as it'd help them verify whether accounts are fake (or impersonating someone else) and ban them if they are.

@jbert
Hey baby, mind helping me unlock my phone? Just hold it right there while I bend over...

"upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face," to prove you're not a bot.
How could a bot possibly foil this impenetrable fortress of security?!

Unfortunately for Facebook, there are also algorithms to generate new random faces on demand.
Actually I suspect just taking a face and moving the facial features a little bit in a random direction would be enough.
We need to accept that, ultimately, the ONLY way to know for sure if something is human is to physically meet them and verify that they are featherless bipeds made of meat. And even that will only work until we can make replicants.

While Wired notes that the current test is simply whether or not the photo is unique, it would make sense for them to attempt to match the photo against a user's current photos. Although even obvious shoops would come through, someone attacking an account would have to do basic recon that no one who attacks Facebook accounts does in practice, and there's no way a white, worried looking beardy Russian could pass for @Yamikuronue.
Problem: That relies on people tagging you in pictures to tag pictures of your face. While that's what's been intended, and makes sense for Facebook's original audience (why would you want strangers' faces in your photo albums?), my friends were big on "Tag 50 freinds!" image macros. Bottom line, I wouldn't be able to use my face; I'd have to use Garruk Wildspeaker's.
