Fidelity, Banks, Coinbase (before I got out of cryptocurrency entirely).

But, basically, only when government regulation does (or SHOULD) impose KYC requirements.

Age and ID verification might be good in a very few cases, but it should definitely be a deviation from the norm.

The issue is that any software is a blackbox when running.

There is no way for a user to know what code is running let alone verifying that a specific code is actually running on a device, combine that with a sector that keeps wanting more data.

I have no issue with an online service knowing my age for as long as that's all they know and will ever know about me.

As a Texan oil baroness I feel confident with myself being known to the algorithm and it tracking my habits of dropping snakes into police stations, as is our tradition as reminder to not be treaded upon.
