I read the agreement for ID.me and it’s atrocious. It requires that I “voluntarily” waive civil rights. I don’t want to use the service.
There is no other way to log into IRS.gov.
You can’t watch YouTube without a Google account.
You can’t be in the parent group chat without agreeing to the Meta TOS for WhatsApp.
The list goes on.

- tonyhart7 1y ago"You can’t watch YouTube without a Google account" you cant??? I reinstall my dekstop the other day, it let me view without login the problem is recommendation tab/service is empty because there is no history so it cant recommend something, hence you assume that you couldn't view videos
- ponector 1y agoIf you use VPN then you'll get a login screen instead of the video content.
- MonkeyClub 1y agoThis doesn't align with my experience. I routinely watch YouTube in private, not signed in, and only open a video in a normal, signed in window if I want it preserved in my history.
