Even in places they aren’t required to take you id by law, they collect EVERYTHING about you. They know already. They know, you are the product.
Comment on I know Reddit sucks but this one is funny.

I’m aware that they collect information about me and perhaps it could be used to figure out who am I. But handing over ID is actually saying who am I, so anything I would post would be tied to my identity.
That’s still a big difference.

You are correct in that. There is a big difference, although not in what the oligarchs know about you, just about how they can abuse you with the official information.

For nsfw subreddits/profiles, yes. But literally anyone marking their post as nsfw even to hide a spoiler would prompt the ID check making the subreddit unusable until that post was gone.

Interesting, I didn’t observe that. I wonder if this is only enabled for specific regions or they just have me a pass because my accounts is 16 years old.
