  I think it’s a UK thing

  They have been passing legislation to basically dox their citizens for them to gain access to the internet

      Yeah it’s like the government want to get sued. They are better than the previous administration but that’s a pretty low bar

    It was obvious things like this will happen, unlike banks and government sites social media sites don’t have strict cyber security requirements and they want these sites to have a government ID. It was a bad idea from the start.

  I believe people from EU and people who say they were under 13 and got reported. They needed to send in a pic of them holding their ID.

      Well, did you get reported and did you ever say you were under 13?

        I don’t know and I don’t remember. I was replying to the ‘people from the EU’ bit, as it does not seem correct to me.

      You’re much too young for the Internet. Please submit your SSN and parents’ credit card information.

  Any time your account gets locked for age reason it requires it. So if you have never had an age lock it’s unlikely you had to do it.

  It’s as easy as someone reporting you for being underage with no proof or even just saying “I’m 14 and what is this” as a meme to get locked tho.

  Hell the auto flag system can hit you if you just talk like a kid sometimes.

  You often get age verification if your account got blocked because someone reported you to be underage
