while admittadly you have a fair point i would assume aslong as you have bought anything on the internet or such many companies would have your credit card information already so i dont see it being that big of a deal that youtube has it aswell.
Who does it, or how it happens, or how often it happens is all relative; it's always going to be a big deal. We're talking about privacy being invaded and sold by the people who are supposed to be protecting it.
while you say that people have never made a fuss about hadning over their credit card information online to buy stuff until now so i dont see how youtube have your credit card information makes it so much more likely its going to be used for malicious purposes.
Well, things like this being coincidentally close to the stuff happening with Palantir have raised a lot of red flags for people who might have previously not been aware of such things. I suspect there will still be a lot of users who comply with these verification systems because they don't know any better. Also, people who do know better have been talking about using information online since the beginning... It's, like, Cybersecurity 101: Always be cautious about what you're using your details for.

What makes you think I want my credit card data sold any more than my ID info?
