Instagram did this same bullshit to me when I signed up for an account to to follow some photographers.

'Please provide a clear photo of yourself holding your government issued ID, and a piece of paper with the following code handwritten on it'.

No, fuck that for a joke.

There's this growing trend of everyone wanting your photo and some ID, and then you have no way to verify that information is being kept securely or used for appropriate reasons.
