      Exactly. Reddit isn’t my fucking bank. They don’t need to know who I am.

        They don’t even require an email when signing up. At the same time they speed run to biometrics.

        What a shit show they’ve become.

        Your bank doesn’t even need to know who you are.

        On a related note, Bank of America, if you’re reading this, my name is floop @lemmy.dbzer0.com, and I would like to withdraw all the money from my account. Nonsequential bills please!

          The banks are legally required to know who you are. It’s part of AML and anti-terrorist financing laws

          It’s called KYC or “know your customer”.

              huh… maybe because of the period and no space? Markdown thinks it’s a list item?
