    well, ukraine uses id verification (using digital signature or the Diia app) for it’s petitions website and it just works ™
    well it only asks for signature (jks keystore) which reduces chance of something going wrong to near zero.

      Sending personal state issued ID and all its info, including your photo =/= writing a signature digitally. Especially not in the age of accessible AI/“Big Data.” God imagine if they coupled that with your telemetry.

      Besides, almost any company with the scale and resources to properly store and secure that data for potentially hundreds of thousands if not millions of people is not a company I would trust with all that information. Because let me tell you, feel good petitions are not what drives their revenue lol. And if they’re smaller then a data breach is all but inevitable (large company is also a juicy target).

      Look at porn, which far more people want to access online then petitions. With each state requiring ID verification it the US, VPN searches on google rise by orders of magnitude in the respective states.

      Things are a bit different if it’s a government asking you to authenticate yourself. You’re proving you engaged in that particular transaction (which is presumably the point), but otherwise you’re not revealing any information they don’t already have about you.
