If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users.

Just saying.
They need you more than you need them.
Stop complying with invasive requests.

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: The moment fb asked me my ID card or passport to verify an account I had made I just gave up... What are they supposed to be to ask for this kind of data? To verify what? And I even dislike it when I am asked about my phone number... Why on earth do people casually give away info like that? "I don't have anything to hide" is not even an answer....
