Some of my classmates have a messenger group, so I decided to make a facebook account, since they apparently share some really useful info on there.
After asking for my email address and date of birth, which I expected, it asked me to activate my webcam and take a photo of myself.
This is lunacy! Can I somehow make a facebook account without being put on a government watchlist? I do want access to that messenger chat.

I remember using https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ to bypass the "upload a selfie" thing a year or two ago. Just reload until you get an average looking balkan man.
Also crop out the image a bit. Especially the watermark at the bottom right.

Grab an action figure, fuck FB right in their facial recognitive ass.
 
Oh, I assumed they were gonna make you do a hand gesture or something afterwards to make sure it's you in that picture, I'll probably try holding a random face from magazine in front of the camera or something later today then. Thanks for the info!

That won't work. They normally get you to open your mouth or put your finger on your nose. I actually created the first-gen versions of these flows back in 2013 (this was for Right to Work). Ours was part manual, as we only had several hundred people to process. The company literally trained up a few office admin staff on how to use the interface that I and my colleague created.

Typically people use an online character creator. Where you can mimick facial movements. There are several of these online now. It's just about finding a good one.
