It’s great that you think that limiting the firehose-style wild-west dissemination of people’s identity data might be a good idea and I have good feelings about your suspicions, I suspect they might be well founded.

Might as well wait until anybody that can drag and drop Stripe code into their app gets as many photos of people’s IDs and faces and security questions from their users and squirrels it away into their private databases.

Once that’s done it’ll be a good time to fire off a blog post about how not doing that was always in the works and announce groundbreaking features like “basic privacy permissions for identity data “ will become default.

Maybe it’ll be a paid feature for end users?
