Illegal and nefarious are two separate things. KYC is legal. It is also immoral, given the ways it can ruin someone’s life via identity theft and unwarranted surveillance by the state. It totally violates the spirit of the 4th Amendment. Forget the current law for a second: why are they entitled to a lot of my personal information but I’m not entitled to information why they believe I’m a risk? Does that make any moral sense?

because you checked "I agree with your Terms of Services" at some point

It’s a dick move to bury shit like that and you know it. As if anyone reads any of that. There’s a presumption with terms of service that you’ll get service by complying with the terms. I complied and didn’t get service.

Buried? I don’t need to read ToS to know that a company doesn’t have to serve me. They need your info to evaluate if they want to serve you. It’s nothing special, it’s very common. You’re acting like they went out of their way to piss you off but you just had unreasonable expectations.
I’m sorry you didn’t get service though. My only point is that this doesn’t make them dicks.

Again, I never claimed they must serve me. My claim is that they’re dicks and people should treat them as such. You’re saying that they’re not dicks because I “agreed” with their terms, as if this is a common experience people have and should just say “oh well, that’s their right. I wish them the best”
