They don't have to store it, they can delete it after account creation or just keep a hash in case they want to avoid account farming.
Youtube is already collecting IDs in the EU if you want to view age-restricted content.
Some countries also have ID cards that allow you to digitally prove you are 18 without revealing your ID, maybe that could be used for proving you're human as well (don't know if there is a way to prevent farming here).
- catchnear4321 3y agoso the counter-argument is they only have to know how to securely transfer and delete it. which is very similar to securely transferring and storing it. in terms of required competency. and existing identification requirements don’t lessen the ask. lest wearing identification visibly at all times become the norm. at that point there isn’t an ask.
- Spivak 3y agoAre we living in bizarro world here? This is not some crazy ask and what happens billions of times on Reddit with passwords. There are even 3rd party services that will verify IDs via API and you never even see the data.
- catchnear4321 3y agonow government ids are just passwords? and it shouldn’t matter as much if it’s an extra participant in the conversation?
