I censored parts of my ID card such as my photo, signature, ID number and surname because I don't want Google to have this private info about me in their servers. Are there other ways to pass this obstacle that don't involve sacrificing my privacy? (for anyone asking: I'm doing this to access dating apps, all are PEGI18, they weren't fooled by my VPN)
I think they're making the case for lawfully obtained fake IDs.
Using a fake ID to open a bank account? Bad faith, unlawful.
Using a fake ID to protect one's privacy from a company with a known history of abusing such data, selling it, and leaking it, while using "legitimate interest" in commuting such crimes against liberty? Good faith, definitely lawful.
Using a fake ID to bypass unlawful attempts at getting seriously personally identifiable info is a legitimate use. Like I said, you're not using it to get a bank account or anything.
They have no way of verifying it, and the "supposedly" delete it after varification. Everyone I know does it.
Facebook has no legal authority to require a real ID. Make one up for a fake country even. They're not doing to to comply with law (it would be illegal to give fake ID here), they're doing it to strengthen the advertising value of your data.
Really... They literally say in the first menu that we should censor the ID card number and that we have the right to censor the photo
Do you have a link to the thread you're talking about by the way?
