   Don’t ban it for kids. Ban the doomscrolling algorithmic feeds for everyone. Make them only show people posts from accounts they opt-in to following, and nothing else.

      It's already banned for everyone who doesn't want to send their ID documents to Persona.

         Persona already has the ability to access your ID, or they would otherwise not be able to determine if the ID you sent was genuine.

            Have you tried sending them a fake ID? As I understand, these companies are verifying the format of the ID, not the exact details on it. Including all the subtle format details like the checksum of the OCR section. If it looks good, they add it (and the site you were trying to access, and the timestamp) to their database.
