There are already enough data leaks, and now they want your government issued ID just to use ChatGPT app. The old web was free, right? You could visit any website. Now just four apps control everything and what you see, and they won't work unless you provide identification. What a mess.

ChatGPT has start issuing mandatory Age Verification reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/

Whatever you do, do not provide your ID to the worst company out there. Added screenshot in case post gets deleted.

Reddit post title: ChatGPT has start issuing mandatory Age Verification Post text read as follows: PSA for people who use ChatGPT for whatever reason, they now demand ID verification if you want to access any content that might be remotely adult. This is the message being sent to emails: Because your account shows you're under 18, we've adjusted a few settings to create a safer experience for you. Most of your ChatGPT experience will stay the same, though some sensitive topics and interactions may be limited. If you're 18 or older, you can verify your age to access all ChatGPT features. You'll just need to upload a photo of your government-issued ID and take a quick selfie—handled securely by our trusted verification partner, Persona. Some users complained they lost access to their accounts after they failed to provide an acceptable ID, just like Facebook does. Accounts will also be blocked after 90 days if failed to comply.
