I don't think those clowns tried to make me jump through those particular hoops but before I switched entirely to using Tor along with the .onion facebook page I was getting quite lot of utter bs just to login, same as I do most days - nothing had changed except they wanted me to jump through hoops. I recommend installing the Tor browser and search for sites with .onion addresses to take best advantage of the Tor network. This is the .onion address for fb: https://www.facebookcorewwwi.onion/
