First, they'll ask for your official IDs to confirm your age and identity.
This will create a large treasure trove
of sensitive data, which will attract criminals, and will inevitably leak from either negligence or malice, sooner than later.
Then, they'll claim your official ID is

This will create a large treasure trove

We can, and must, push back and say No now. Start to say No now.
