The economic and societal impact for everybody is not a win

The extreme privacy invasion and uploading of your photo ID to agencies all over the world with their own nefarious purposes is not a win

what privacy? lol. what a laugh thinking social media respected kids privacy! you think social media and agencies didnt already have the kids photos? they have copies and history of everything the kids type and looked at. also kods wont upload thier id if they are too young cause they would be denied. these internet companies already do nefarious stuff. this is just stopping kids from giving these companies more of thier details.

dont wanna give them your id? dont use thier service, cause they already usng all your info. so more privacy for you!
