they don't do this for age verification, they do this to build dataset to sell.
Yeah because they don’t haha. It boggles the mind because the headline is clickbait.
Youtube routinely asks for ID on accounts that are already of drinking age, they dgaf they want document scans they can use for profiling and to likely sell to 3rd parties.
