> The ID is immediately deleted. We do not keep any information around like your name, the city that you live in, if you used a birth certificate or something else, any of that information.
This is also contradicted by what Discord actually says:
> Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
What are the non-most cases?
Also, _Discord_ deleting them is really only half the battle; random vendors deleting them remains an issue.
Not to mention collecting them at all means those servers are a primo location for state actors to stage themselves to make copies of data before being deleted.
To say nothing of insider threats of which likely exist across every major social media platform in service to foreign govs.
Weird that I have to get a list of all the cookie vendors that know I visit a website to show me an ad about something I already bought but the guys with my ID don't need to be listed.
Since when the city one lives in is mentioned in the birth certificate?
It was only one example they gave, and they accept multiple different types of ID; a driver's license or national ID card being other likely ones, and DLs do say where you live.
None of those documents reliably state my city of residence. At best they document where I once lived, but not even that is guaranteed.
Not updating your DL after changing your address is a crime* in all US states. I'm not as familiar with law elsewhere, but would be surprised if that's not true most other places.
*There are exceptions for active duty military personal and other limited exceptions.
You are legally required to update those within 10 days of moving.
What kind of tyranny do you live in? None of the documents I have on me say where I live.
It's pretty standard in a lot of Europe, one is required to update ones license with each change of address (although many people don't).
Along with such weird (to us) things as applying for an exit visa from your current town when you want to move to a new town...
Which parts of Europe have a town of where the person lives on their driving license? And what do you mean by “us”?
My Spanish identity card has my full address. Not sure if the DNI does as well, or only the foreign resident version.
> And what do you mean by “us”?
US folks are pretty used to being able to up and drive across the country with a suitcase, without filing any paperwork (at least till the taxman comes knocking next April)
Have to get your vehicle registered in your new state as well (if you own one) as well as your driver’s license. God help you if your vehicle is towed and your license/vehicle is not registered in the current state. Absolute mess.
I ask you about drivers license, you tell me about the national ID.
You did not ask about driver's licenses. You asked about "document I have on me".
Many people in many countries carry their national ID card in instances where Americans would carry their driver's license.
(And, to be clear, if you are American and drive, your driver's license contains your address.)
UK driver's licence has my full home address on it. Come to think of it I think my Polish one used to as well.
Australia and UK goes the full distance. Your full address: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver%27s_licences_in_Austral...
