Hetzner never banned me but they demanded a lot of info at sign-up like a photo of my ID which contains sensitive info like my social security number. Can be used for identity theft.

I blanked that out and they didn't accept it until I showed them the national police website where they showed how to do this and recommended to always do that.

I only used them for a while, eventually I mixed to scaleway which was cheaper and doesn't need any invasive info. I've been a happy customer there for years. I even run an IRC bouncer there without any issues, which many such providers specifically forbid (eg OVH)

curious - what kind of ID would have your SSN on it?
