All of us have had questions in the last while. People are consistently on and a kid might end up using a YouTube account connected to an email address, then information about a person's bank card number is requested, which that person might not be happy to provide. People are already uploading information such as passports, driving licences and so on as a means of informing companies about age or other details, as second checks. It is probably happening on some level. If we had something that was secure and you only provided the company with the information that you wanted to provide, as opposed to the means of allowing an 11 or 12-year-old to spend €400 in one day, which has not happened but is a consistent, constant worry.
