Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4
Crazy. I had Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, Rackspace (back in the day when they did that), never had to prove my identity.
Maybe things changed?
Hetzner asked me for my passport. I just signed up yesterday out of curiosity.
I guess so. Jeez. As of a month ago, Vultr and Linode did not.
