- moffkalast 9mo agoYoutube routinely asks for ID on accounts that are already of drinking age, they dgaf they want document scans they can use for profiling and to likely sell to 3rd parties.
- Permit 9mo ago> and to likely sell to 3rd parties. Can you provide literally any evidence that would suggest this is the case?

- ted_bunny 9mo agoThis sort of thing is common enough that simply establishing means, motive and opportunity are convincing to me. If not yet then soon. You can't hope for a smoking gun every time.
- randunel 9mo agoSince selling PII is a common practice in the US industry, I believe the onus is reversed, they need to prove that they delete/keep-private.

- matt_kantor 9mo agoGiven how YouTube makes money from advertising, I suspect it's more profitable for them to keep the data to themselves and use it for targeting. I would not be surprised if they also share it with Adsense & other Alphabet entities (and presumably with government agencies), but am doubtful beyond that. Not that this is much better than directly selling to third parties.
