We're living at an age where people are faking relatives voices using genAI to scam people, where people recreated Ursula von der Leyen fingerprint using publicly available HD pictures of her hands, and cybercrimes are at an all high - and someone decided its a good idea to force people to upload their government ID to gain access to basic features and services.
Absolutely unfathomable and stupid. we're gonna see some awful things.

Love how personal data is no longer protected anywhere. Seems nowhere is safe to give your information online or offline.

I've had my bank, hospital, various credit cards, and even my job get hacked and my info stolen with millions of others.

Honestly, i'm not even surprised... With how things are nowadays it was just a matter of time. From the start i had a feeling that this whole age-verification thing will backfire massively.
But i doubt anything big will happen now, like always, the company will just blame the third-party customer support service, announce "actions", and we'll never hear about it again... Until the next hack/leak appears.

Same old corporate reply it's not our fault and since you agreed and accepted our sites T.O.S were not responsible.

I'm not kidding every billion dollar company put theses clauses in there lengthy wall of texts no one reads.

It's like that human centipede episode of Southpark.
