      Sadly you have to. But it should be standard practice to give as little as possible.

        I just signed myself with an ID app (Not the government one, fuck the state). The government has my data, not only because I have a passport, but because it’s a strict mandate that every living human is recorded, so they can tax our existence from our very first breath to our last (some folk are still capitalism-coded so I’ll specify that their rules, politics, taxes and frequent threats are very mentally taxing). So, given that they and at least a few Chinese-origin, potentially drop-shipping wholesalers have my legal alias and home address, I figure an ID verification company is the least of my worries.

        The most we can do is choose when we comply.

      I have some of your data. Reply with your Passport Number, Credit Card Details, and your Mother’s maiden name and I’ll believe you are who you say you are and then delete it.
