     @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 #BDSG & #GDPR that it is basically illegal on it's own.

     Welp. I guess that’s it. I had already deleted pretty much anything I ever had on the platform and changed my handle to direct anyone looking to this identity here. I’m not doing this. My account was there basically for give aways and crap that wanted birdsite entries.

     @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

     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 @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-#AdPocalypse...

     @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?
