This is a topic I have not seen anyone talk about yet, starting August 13th YouTube will be the first online service rolling out ID verification In the US. I can guarantee you all this will not stop at YouTube and this will all be framed as "Protecting Children". On August 13th, YouTube will start using AI to determine your age based on viewing history and habits on the platform. If your account is flagged by this AI to be underage, you must upload a photo of your government ID, a selfie or you can link to a bank account or credit card to confirm your identity. Please think about this, if you go thru with providing your ID everything you do after that login screen is inherently tied back to your real life identity. In a world where being a Democrat or simply disagreeing with the president makes you the "enemy from within" this is a very dangerous slippery slope. You need to protect our data, and not allow it to be used as a weapon against us. Less talk more action please.
