    I haven’t logged in to facebook for a long time and when I tried they wanted my government ID or else they wouldn’t let me into my account.

    I don’t want to give Facebook my ID so I’m not sure how I can delete my account without doing that.

      Not sure if this could work, but did you try using a VPN to log in from an EU country?

      Honestly don’t know how the GDPR might affect this, but might be worth a try

        I tried tor browser (and just made sure the exit node was in Europe) since I don’t have a vpn and it worked thank you!

    It’s easier and more effective to just get yourself banned.

      It could be important in the future that you at least indicated to Meta that you wanted your information deleted, even if they don’t actually remove it from their servers.

      If you just get banned then you don’t have that record of deleting your account, and Meta has no obligation to remove any of your information.

    Never had one but have family who has their VR headsets and aren’t really using them, borderline useless if you aren’t willing to use their ecosystem. They were having some trouble with their accounts (probably related to account migrations) and seemed too unsettled by the paper wall of text about being part of an organization to unlock dev mode.
