    This is just a product of the age verification bullshit.

    Some companies are asking to upload drivers licences, others are asking for banking info. All being marketed as a benefit, and getting a checkmark beside your name.

    And here almost every week theres a email from some company getting hacked and personal info being accessed/stolen.

    I had recently signed back for a service with a company I have not done business with for 20 years, they somehow still had my old account info and address details. I was and still am pissed.

      Not just hacked or stolen, also freely sold to third parties and governments to aggregate into private profiles
