This right of access to your personal data has existed in the EU for 20 years. This is not new. And yes, there is a need to verify IDs. Most companies don't have online forms for this so the way has always been to send an email and enquire, or to write on paper with a copy of a valid ID. This is not new. The question is whether data submitted under a pseudonym (e.g. forum activity) are actually personal information by law since the individual cannot be identified.
