Giving Facebook my picture, in conjunction with ID, is a sure way for the entire platform to do facial recognition on all existing pictures.
They already do it, but such a time save to 100% verify who is who.
And even if you esque facebook, never have an account, you're one step away from the same happening after a buyout, data share agreement, etc.
Banks often get around data sharing laws, by jointly buying companies to perform tasks. Thus, bank 1 owns 20% of an ID company, along with 4 other banks, and can write agreements such as "our associated companies" and such blather.
Inside that ID corp, all 5 entites can share data, aggregate it, anonymized it, and then sell it.
And as we all know, de-anonymizing is trivial... and if one knows who you are, they now all do, simply via the parent corp buying(for pennies) and de-anonymizing.
I don't mind de-anonymizing as much as my ID getting leaked and having my identity stolen because some social media service doesn't follow proper security practices
Facebook has already been found to be storing passwords in plaintext [0]
How can you trust them, or any other social media for that matter?
Even if they do everything right, you are increasing the chance of giving your id to s service is that will get hacked by just giving it to more services
