How about we stop logging the image of every human on the planet under the guise of "security." I've seen how much respect corporations have for security in the annual teardown of hacked company's email and password lists. I'm not interested in you having a copy of my face along with my bank card info, address, birthdate, and full name all underneath an exhaustive arbitration agreement, because when you lose it, I'll be the one that gets fucked, and you'll get another slap on the fucking wrist.

Don't forget some states want us to give our government-issued IDs to porn sites. What could go wrong.

Think of the children.

Honestly, I trust the porn sites more than I'd trust the video game makers or like... Banks. At least when it comes to data security.

I remember when the new German id was rolled out that it could potentially just tell a website whether the user was an adult or not. But nobody seems to use it for that purpose. From the last time I tried to use my ID to identify myself I must conclude that it simply doesn't work.

They "don't keep" the pictures, they "permanently delete" them from their servers "immediately" after taking a wild stab at the person's age. Allegedly.
