I tried to sign up but they required my picture holding my ID. Even my bank doesn't require that. I was not OK with that obviously.
To me it is just shifting trust from 1 entity to another like VPNs
Who is they?
Oh yeah, I was replying to a post that mentioned privacy.com - that is who, I meant, asked me for my ID to be able to sign up for their service
Specify who you are referancing.
privacy.com ask for picture of ID to sign up
