Generally I would be comfortable showing my ID to either an established bank or the government which issued the ID. And airport security. Otherwise if a private company wants me to upload my ID I would probably avoid using their service.

Or a bar? Ya know, to verify your age.
I dont drink ay places that need to scan my ID and keep a record of it.
You've never been to a bar that swipes the mag strip on your ID? Or the many doctor's offices that take scans of your ID with your insurance card?

I'm totally on board with ID cards not having your address on them because of the stalking potential but it's an ID card, if it has to be secret for it for it to be useful it's a really shitty form of identification.

No I've never been to a bar that swiped my ID. The bar does not need to know who I am.
