We can also surmise that he's bad at computers.

I'm sure he could probably figure out a VPN or a site that doesn't give a fuck about UK law, but chose to stir shit anyway.

Well it at least seems he doesn't care about privacy, if he chose to upload a selfie to get past the check.

He also gave an interview about the experience of failing to upload his selfie. I think you’re right about him not caring about his privacy.

My guess is at least 80% of average internet users don’t care about privacy

You can assume anything you want, but that doesn't make it true. This guy wanted to stir the pot. I'll assume he just wants to bring attention to this dumb law.
