Wouldn't want the government to have your government-issued ID.

I have no idea about Persona though.

I know that this may sound surprising, but US is not the only country in the world ;)

My assumption was more that this is about getting set up to provide access to Fable to US citizens. I could be mistaken in that regard.

It probably is. But I don't trust personas funders (and the US gov, btw) to only use this data in this regard.

Well, if it's (at the moment) only for verifying US citizenship for access to Fable then giving them your non-US ID won't do anything for you.

I would imagine this was written by someone not from the US.

In the EU and UK, data protection legislation applies to governments' handling of their subjects' data too.

What do you mean? I doubt a person can ask for the deletion of their tax records.

I'm not from the US. And given the current behaviour of said country, I don't want to hand them the capability to connect my AI chats with my identity (yes, I know that they quite probably can do that at will already - but I do not need to hand it over on a silver plate)
