Already a thing for a lot of services (like financial), but still. There's better ways that don't involve sending your ID or facial scans to a first or third party.

Yeah, I set up a trading212 account lately and they wanted ID scan + live video. I mind that a bit less for finance: identity theft is real, and there are significant disadvantages to me if someone can set up a bank account in my name without getting ID checked.

I'm not doing it for bloody discord or bsky DMs.

I'm paying Fidelity's fees instead of completing the verification process with Trading 212.
