I understand I grew up in a different era but it is beyond absurd to me that a chat application requires government ID from it's users. I understand the rationale but I do not find it convincing in the least, especially with the way that security is treated at basically any entity that has this kind of info on file.
I do not like this world that we have created and I would like to apply for a full refund
Rationale is likely the requirements of age verification rules by UK, some US states, etc.
We could likely see a bit more of these data leaks in the future I guess, due to how there are more and more countries/states adopting this.
newer generations have been indoctrinated early
