    Online banks use this method. I am not happy with this either. It’s government-regulated, so OK (sort of).

    A social media site? No, thank you.

      Banks are usually bound by KYC (know your customer) laws and are required to verify your identity. Imagine trusting some random third-party company with your photo ID though… Insane.

        actually, two companies.
        you give up your id forever to an id verification company + twitter stores it for 30 days

      yeah, that’s obvious. you need a photo of your id in order to open a bank account…
      they usually process the data on their own though without using third parties
