Approaching a Crossroads
Added 2023-09-04 10:26:55 +0000 UTCSome of you might be aware that Patreon is intending to force adult content creator ID verification soon, which means I have to provide photo ID to them along with a selfie to prove who I am. I think this is ridiculous but apparently their hands are tied by the card processors.
I am concerned that the company carrying out these checks will not safely or ethically handle data like that, so I do not wish to provide it.
If any of you lovely lot have any ideas or preferences for how to deal with this feel free to chime in. The options I can see at the moment are:
1. Move platform elsewhere (substar, deviantart). However, who is to say that the other subscription services won't do the same next?
2. Apply to downgrade the page to SFW and find another way to provide images to supporters, like a discord server.
3. Just forget about it all and go play Baldur's Gate 3.
