After reading about this on hacker news, I get why they do it. Its to make people upload identification documents, to get them prepped to authenticate for using the internet. Now the world makes sense again. I was wondering why they would do something positive. But now I get it.

      Yes of course. I meant that they are part of the social media thing, and they may also be required to implement age verification if things become bad.
