I've never had to upload my government ID to any site; and none of my family have either. It's beyond naive to think that enshrining such a protocol won't lead to more widespread adoption, and even legislation requiring it. It's infrastructure that is quietly being built first, and enthusiastic authoritarian governments will eagerly embrace it.

As an American citizen, I had to upload my passport to get an ETA before flying into the UK this year.

I also uploaded my passport to Delta to make traveling to both Costa Rica and London faster this year.
