Showing ID online isn't the same as showing it to a human offline.

Each time we provide our official ID or face scan online, this data risks getting leaked, stolen, or accessed by corporations and governments alike, to track our online activities and attach it to our identities.

@privacyguides @fight I agree with this in spirit I think, but trying to remember if I have shown my ID in the real world recently without it also needing to be scanned and verified or logged by a computer somehow

@aeischeid I’ll just say I always use a passport card for this, specifically because it doesn’t have a barcode normal systems can read, and it has never caused a problem! -jonah
