"Clearly show your name, picture, birthday" "Cover up any personal information we don't need to verify your identity (ex: address, license number)"

Most Facebook users have already given their name, birthday and profile photo. For most users they wouldn't be giving anything else than those pieces of information on a ID card.

Now, that doesn't get into the secondary requests as the article states, but it certainly isn't "entrusting a copy of their ID to a third party."
