News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Also got this message for a client ID that's definitely being used in prod. Are you able to link the Reddit thread?

Google Cloud support is an actual joke. I have no idea how to navigate their chatbot and speak to an actual human. Awful.

More likely these changes were driven by local regulations tbh. There's a reason this isn't a global policy.

Search for dormant accounts and local regulators and I suspect you'll find an answer quickly.

> Paypal demanded, out of the blue copies of drivers licenses, passports, bank statements etc that they have no right to, claiming they needed them to comply with law.

I stopped reading your rant here because it's clear you are not familiar with financial regulations.

>The thing about debit cards though, it's a different system and they don't work for online payments which makes them effectively useless.

Everything in your opening sentence is incorrect.

What problem does this solve for users in major markets?

It's clear there's some form of benefit for users beyond major markets (though those users still need to go through Stripe's KYC process), but for those in major markets, what benefits are there to receive earnings in crypto?

Not really. Anyone who follows the BNPL space knows that it will end up regulated. The UK government has been very clear about this for the last year and are actively consulting on it.

Sounds like something to take up with the US Government to be honest. Every payment processor faces this challenge.
There's a few startups in this space: see Spreedly, Optile etc. In my experience large enterprises are heading in this direction and managing that abstraction is not something which they want to do themselves (particularly with evolving local regulation/APMs/3DS2.x in Europe).
> Sheppard had used a personal driver’s license to verify himself with the Binance and Coinbase cryptocurrency exchanges, and his accounts were found to have sent and received some of the scammed bitcoin.

Didn't even layer the Bitcoin through an anonymiser like Monero and extra Bitcoin wallets. Just sent and received BTC directly to an account linked with photo ID on multiple exchanges. Incredible really!
