they actually listened and are starting to require address verification for new accounts. i am honestly blown away that we got this done but it just proves we were right to keep pushing. keep an eye on your feeds to see how they roll out these new safety steps.

We the undersigned petition Facebook to put measures into place to protect ourselves and children whom use your social networking site by requiring a members address upon joining your site. Too frequently we are coming across members who not only use fake accounts, but are trolling groups and are stealing pictures from people's profiles. There are groups on Facebook which are manned by paedophiles which seem to go ignored and they steal pictures of our children which we will no longer accept. Too many people are using Facebook to lure children into their grip and they are creating groups which honour their perversion and alike. By members being asked to provide their addresses (like most other websites) it will give out the clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated on your site and will make them think twice about breaking Facebooks "policies". Also, too often members are meeting up with strangers on Facebook (of which many have ended in traumatic experiences) and has lead to the perpetrator being free as Facebook has no record of their abode. Facebook, if you truly care about your members, demand addresses upon joining your site!

About time. They want our data for ads but wont verify who is actually using the site? Total joke.

My daughter is on here and it terrifies me. People just steal photos and make fake profiles and nothing happens when you report them. FIX IT FACEBOOK

This would stop so many of the scams going around. If you cant be honest about who you are you shouldn't be allowed on a social site.
