It’s probably a matter of time until this is so normalized with virtual KYC that people wouldn’t care much when asked to do the same by a potential employer.
Though as it becomes more common, it's probably also a matter of time before software is available that lets someone hold up a green card and it's replaced with the document of their choice on the video feed.

- Johnny555 5y agoI'd think that's all relatively easy to compensate for, just film (or create in CGI) the card held in different directions, then merge into the green screen card. Seems like it'd be better if chip card readers became ubiquitous on home computers and mobile devices, then we can scan our drivers license or other government ID to prove that we have possession of the physical card (and when making online purchases we can scan a credit card instead of typing in a number that can be stolen).
