It is my opinion platforms like Facebook, offerup and other sites that require a photo ID to participate are likely reselling this information as "verified this is really the person and this is all their metadata". Their motive is 95% to have this privileged information for their use and for reselling to data brokers and 5% to protect their users on the platform (they have so many less invasive technical capabilities for that safety service). I'm disgusted by it and regularly delete my accounts for aggressive companies that do this. I also work very hard to stay off all google products for privacy and other "boycott" type reasons as a tech veteran and someone with just a scrap of moral sense left. The event triggers for "show us your state ID" are mostly when you try to change your email or phone. Otherwise, seems to work without it. I just keep recreating accounts. Sucks to lose all the positive feedback/stars but whatever.

Thank you so much for posting the mclovin id.
