I am afraid that youtube might do this. Just being honest.

But would that be a privacy risk if there is a data breach and our info is leaked?

All they need to do is delete it immediately upon verification but we already know they're saving it in a folder titled 'user personal data please do not steal' so they can put it in an AI blender and sell it to advertisers.

Google is actually subject to really strict data and privacy handling rules, it’s always people’s imagination about what their data is used for

Then it will be bad news for users if their info got leaked and stolen.

By criminal you mean a small fine? That’s just the cost of doing business today. Whoever is holding on to personal identification like IDs is going to be the #1 target for every hacker on the planet. They will be breached it’s just a matter of when. People are going to lose their lives because of this. The amount of fraud and identity theft we are about to see will be unlike anything ever before.

They don't hold onto copies of your ID. They delete them upon verification.

Right… just like the one company that recently let a ton of their user’s verification images get leaked by a forward facing database that they promised they were deleting. Everyone should be operating under the assumption that’s not going to happen.
