Why OVH? I've had awful experience using their services... Vultr, Linode, UpCloud, Hetzner are far better options... none of them require this nonsense.
Hetzner has asked some HN'ers for passport scans [0], and in my case, they asked me to consent to a video scan of my face, with some of ersatz machine vision [1]. Their loss.
