The drivers license thing is likely due to a law passed by the UK a few days ago requires all mature content to be behind an age check. And not a “Are you 18: Yes / No”, more like “we will check using ID and photos of you”.
It’s the most hated piece of legislation in a while, with already 100 000 petition votes in 3 days to repeal it.
Oh yes the famous state of Colorado UK.
UK driving licences do not look like that, they don’t have US states on them (major clue), at green, and if the person in the photo actually looks like a living human and not corpse, it gets sent back as unacceptable.
Actually UK licenses are pink. Provisionals are green
Almost 250k petition votes now, 150k more votes in the past day alone.
Oh, so they started requiring that in the last couple days?

None of the driver licenses shown in the screenshot are UK style.

No idea why they were collecting identification then.
Even worse, since the hackers got a bunch of the data at once, the company must have held onto those pictures long after they registered people to their service, which they likely didn’t need to do.
