Yeah that didnt even take two months. In any reasonable world this would cause the whole world to immediately shut down any and all ID verfication systems like this.

Having seen the internal workings of a few of these random services, not very safe at all.
Itās not just shoddy work, or a lax security policy. There is real money to be made by bringing unethical, and there is nothing to stop many website owners from just selling the data. Itās not like there are consequences to selling it.
I have a feeling this happens a lot

Unethical actions and profits tend to go hand in hand. Have been for centuries already.
Just think about the economics of kidnapping people in Africa and exporting them to slave camps across the ocean instead of paying white employees to do the work. How about using violence, exploitation and systemic injustice to acquire very cheap spices in Asia and transport them to Europe, and sell them for huge profits.
A lot of people are compelled to hurt others, it doesnāt have to be only about money.
And the ways this happens is not always physically violent. Many are compulsed to scam or betray in subtle ways.
Website owners are no different than any other group of people, and they often skew to compulsive dishonesty.
Why? Because often to get a site up and running with real traffic, dirty and dishonest tricks are used. Unless a site is truly different or outstanding , there is quite a story about how it got popular. Often involving both money and questionable ethics.

Who would have thought that such a thing could happen? Apart from anyone knowing enough about computers, I mean?
So glad these age verification laws are keeping people safe

wow who would have guessed?
There you go. So many people will give a fingerprint or photo ID to get what they want. Not worth it.
