Today I was sent an email from Binance demanding that I verify my identity or lose the ability to trade on their platform.Here's a list of what they want:* full name
* date of birth
* current residential address
* scans of ID's / passport
* separate picture of my face
* facial recognition / verification (I'm guessing via a custom app or process)Binance has entirely betrayed one of the pillars of the cryptocurrency movement - anonymity. Sure, you can track every transaction on the blockchain, but unless you know what wallet address corresponds to which identity, you ain't got bubkess.As a result, I am leaving Binance, and I would encourage others to consider doing the same.And just before anyone reaches for the age-old argument that "they are a private corporation and can do what they want", I will preemptively respond: if too many big corps engage in bad behaviour, then you are left with no place to turn to and essentially lose your digital rights, so I find that argument to be naive, short sighted, and entirely unacceptable.We must demand more of the businesses that we depend on. We must hold them to a higher standard so that we are not left in the end without alternatives.Fight for your rights now, or risk being controlled and silenced forever.
