I made a post here recently about how I tried to sign up to facebook because I wanted to watch a video that was only available on facebook. However to sign up they now require you to film your face from every angle and send it to them, to verify your identity.

Well now reddit is about to start changing it’s rules, requiring users in the UK to provide your photo ID and other identifying information if you want to view potentially “harmful content” on the site. Apparently this harmful content includes material of a sexual nature, anything involving suicide, disordered eating, anything that’s hateful to people based on their sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability and various other harmful content. (So that will be basically all of reddit then).

Who is actually mad enough to give these companies their photo ID, or videos of their face? If more and more social media sites start requesting this, do you think it will lead to the death of social media?
