People sell their redditor accounts frequently for their digital tokens (upvotes) - reddit does not require people to use KYC.
Yes, I understand there is an implicit difference here, but this just shows how dumb KYC laws are to begin with as they can be easily bypassed by criminals and serve only to dox the law abiding citizens.
I, as a pro-social, well behaving, net positive contributor to society - have to trust everyone I do business with with my personal information. It's honestly absurd, if I were a criminal I would bypass this with great ease, yet because I want to behave legally I put myself at risk for identity theft frequently just to be able to do business with other people who also likely don't want to be responsible for securing my private information.
