    I know that sounds ridiculous. So I uploaded a photo of myself (not a se but a photo that someone else took of me) and they said "You were asked upload a selfie and you have not complied and now your account is perman suspended."

    Sounds like someone maybe hacked your account and used it for bot
    posting.

    Also, I hope you made sure you were on facebook.com, or their official app, before sending them any photos.

    It was definitely facebook.com. I don't think there was anything posted at all. I didn't have any friends added, so I had no audience to speak to anyway. I searched for some people, but didn't send any friend requests.

    It's weird. I read stories around the net about other people having a similar experience.

    I concur. That's the most likely reason.

    How does demanding the user to "upload a selfie" resolve that issue?

    I feel violated.
