ELI5:Why does facebook now require ID?

as someone who was catfished at one point its kind of difficult to explain i wasn't as internet savvy and didnt know about things like reverse image searching and stuff like that and i mean I've always felt that someone who's getting catfishes had a part of themselves that knows that something is off but theres also this other part of you that really really wants to be loved and feel needed and stuff so the rational side of your brain kinda gets overridden by the emotional side. i mean i guess i was kind of young and sheltered leading up to that point in my life so I'm sure that also had something to do with it, but i mean it took me about a year to really like accept the fact that it wasn't a real profile but the person i was talking with on the phone every night was a real person with real issues and problems and feelings for me, finally i confronted her and she came clean showed me who she really was and after a little bit i was able to get past it we had a long distance relationship which worked out for almost 5 years(of and on) when i first found out it kinda made me feel stupid but then at the same time i realized that, if you think about it in a way we all kinda "catfish" although clearly not to the extremes some people go, we only put up the exciting awesome parts of our lives so that anyone who looks at our lives on online media gets this impression that we are living these amazing lives when were really just average people with our own ups and downs,this concept or idea really helped to turn my life around when i finally understood it and helped me turn my depression around because i was always so busy looking at other peoples lives and seeing how amazing they looked compared to mine and i guess its not even just online we all kinda wear masks i think and only share portions of our real selves with certien people and i think that sometimes people who get depressed don't get this and i think that if they could it might just be enough to get them going in the right direction like it got me going. can't believe I'm actually sharing this part of my life with people... i shared all this as i was thinking it part of me want to go back and spell check and stuff but i think if i did i might pussy out and not share it so I'm not going to do that
