IT'S NOT AGE VERIFICATION,
IT'S ID COLLECTION.
Look up the data breaches that happen when they tell you they 'don't save' your ID. This is newspeak to get you to comply and think it's not as bad.

"we won't build you a surveillance engine or autonomous kill chain" and Trump called them a national security threat for it.
The threat to national security is the government that needs AI to spy on its own citizens more efficiently.
