@kaia Yes, because that shit is so illegal I'm surprised @verbraucherzentrale hasn't sought a permanent injunction against :birdsite: :twitter: for this illegal request of personal information that violates so many parts of & that it is basically illegal on it's own.

@kkarhan @kaia @verbraucherzentrale Is it though? Under EU law e.g. Youtube checks IDs to see if the users are definitely not kids (it can be omitted, I used a PSC card to send some money to a youtuber and that was enough to prove I'm an adult, weirdly though), proving the authenticity for having a mark that your name is confirmed (I assume this is all about that, I haven't been using Twitter for a while and only under a pseudonym anyway) might be a legitimate reason to check all of that data.

I mean, the questions is – you say that this is illegal with a lot of confidence and certainty and I wonder why, do you just think it's probably illegal or you have something on mind?

@naruciakk @kaia @verbraucherzentrale

I sincerely doubt that.

I've never been asked to verify my identity in order to monetize any of my channels, and I've been there pre-...

@kkarhan @kaia Have you worked with GDPR complacency ever? Because I did, it wasn't a lot of work on that, but still gives me some idea how it works. Using documents for verification of identity to provide a service that is a confirmed account is actually a pretty reasonable purpose of data processing, especially that the whole verification is voluntary

>Needless to say #GDPR & #BDSG violations are the least…
Well, Google is actually forced to check the the identity and the fact that users are 18 to allow them to see some content thanks to EU regulations. It would be weird if it wasn't allowed by the EU, especially that the compliance to regulation is one of legitimate and listed purposes of data processing.

@naruciakk @kaia depends.

I worked for a payment processor who did the mandatory age verification for adult entertainment sites amd even got certified.

Tho they are per law a "legitimate interest" unlike say YouTube which doesn't host pr0n - or at least claims to not accept it (casually points to Belle Delphine advertising her OnlyFans)...
