Clubhouse lets you collect payments to join some channels. Isn’t KYC reasonable in that case? Re: Age Verifications on Google & YouTube: this has been covered

  > Clubhouse lets you collect payments to join some channels. Isn’t KYC reasonable in that case? If it's limited to only people receiving payments, then it's far more reasonable than what I thought was happening (eg. people getting randomly asked for ID scans to use their service).

    Others have said it's limited to people who have a bot joined to more than 75 servers, or use certain sensitive scopes. So it's not quite that restrictive (only payments). But I can say that I'm in... about 10 servers as a user and have a couple of bots I hacked together for various things operating in 3 of them and have never been asked for anything but my email. And across all the people I know using Discord, I was totally unaware that they even did that sort of identity verification because it seems like no one I know's ever run into it.

  They’re required to verify that users are above a certain age. There are no requirements to solicit and keep information or documents beyond that. Just because the easiest shortcut to age verification is requiring a copy of a government ID, this doesn’t mean that that’s a good idea.
