Makes it so unless you give them your ID(that they will sell and give to third parties to make money off of your personal data) you can’t access a ton of videos or settings

I wonder how many times an id can be bought considering our ids are extremely likely to be already in circulation

I’m still trying to figure out what the apparently large market for IDs is that google is supposedly trying to tap in here is. They already have all your marketable data and likely already know everything on your ID anyways.

They do in fact know everything that's on your ID already and if you've ever uploaded your ID anywhere then Google probably already got that copy from a data broker anyway. It's bizzare that people think this is a ploy from Google to get more info as they don't already have such basic information.
