I Finally Have "my papers, and I am Legit!

On Saturday, I received my eagerly awaited snail mail from Facebook with my "unique code." Once received, I was able to put my code into my Facebook page, and thus verification of who I really am has been completed.

To remind you:

• I wrote a post about free speech and book burning on my blog

• I shared to my longstanding Facebook school page

• I tried to boost my post on Facebook

• Facebook flagged my post as dealing with "politics"

• Facebook had to verify who I am

• Front and back cover of drivers license uploaded

• Last 4 digits of my SSN

• 2 step authentication to login to Facebook, password and texted code to my phone on record

• Snail mail letter with secret code to my address on record

• Upload secret code received in snail mail

After all of this, I can now boost my post on free speech. Seems to me this is a little overboard. I have had a Facebook page for nearly 8 years - hundreds of likes, shares, and posts. I want to say something about free speech and this happens???
