That's not selling out. They explain that it's to combat abuse and that this was not their first choice.

By all means move to a different registrar, but deliberate honestly. They are not requiring ID/face scans for the same reason Discord and Roblox are, as your framing suggests.

Sorry to be clear. When you are arbitrarily ask to verify your account not with email verification or robots stuff or a myriad other options; when they reach for age verification as the first thing; and giving up ur gov ID is the only way forward desk okey this never being the best approach to fraud prevention going right back, then yeah this is selling out.

What's occuring is compulsory government ID verification from services that are not yet even legally obligated to do so. What its been sold as is "Age ID", politically consider these things synonymous right now.
