What’s hilarious is that deletion of account might require government issued photo ID.
The last step for me to stop doing business with a bad actor is by giving up my privacy.
- jonny_eh 7y agoDevil's advocate here: They probably put this check in place due to the extremely high number of hacked Battle.net accounts.
- Sohcahtoa82 7y agoDon't even need to play Devil's Advocate here. I guarantee 100% that this is the exact reason. If they're truly deleting ALL your data, could you imagine the customer service nightmare if someone's account got hacked and the attacker could issue a request to delete the entire account with no method for recovery?
- FDSGSG 7y agoWhat's the point? Anyone can buy fake id scans for $50 at most, $20 if you aren't getting ripped off. Blizzard obviously doesn't authenticate these IDs as that isn't really possible. The fact that you can do essentially anything to a Battle.net account with just an ID scan is a huge vulnerability.
