I'm cutting FB and IG entirely, is there a way to see content there without an account? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Word has it that face scanning will soon be necessary to do anything at all on FB and IG (including deleting your account) so I'm in the process of taking care of that business now and trying to encourage the few friends I'm still in touch with to do the same.

Unfortunately, without an account you can't access content, and there are still numerous local businesses and organizations posting at FB and IG and I can't really expect that to change anytime soon. But it would definitely help sell the idea of giving them up if I can offer another way of seeing posts on those sites.

With IG, there is https://imginn.com/ which I've been using for a time, it seems to work well enough to show an account's IG posts.

What I really need is something like that for FB. I don't really need to see posts from individual accounts as I don't even think my friends post on FB anymore; I really just want to be able to see "Liked Pages" as those are often regional businesses and communities. Being able to see groups would also be helpful but those often require special permission even when you do have an FB account so I don't expect much there.

Thanx

Any sources or links to share on this? If this is true it'd be worth it to send to friends and family who still have an account.

Not that this has ever stopped them before, but I would be interested on their attempt at remaining compliant with data protection laws as I feel like locking GDPR right to be forgotten behind a facial ID scan would be seen as an unneeded blocker in order to delete your account.

Last year, I set up an IG account to just view a family member’s posts. It required a photo of me. At first I was said, “fuck no”, but, just to see what would happen, I uploaded an image of some random face. I think it might have even been from a cartoon. It worked.

Go try to create a new FB account, that's the source because they already do require a face scan to create a new account.
