I have recently seen where bounty hunters were asked to present identifying documents.  Am really against kyc because one of the reasons I joined crypto was the anonymity which it provides. But sadly that's gently creeping away.

Now this KYC has come into airdrops. Imagine am to submit my ID to some I don't know which planet he or she or they are from for some pennies worth tokens. 

It's terrible and this is a bad precedence these people are setting.

If as a community we do not say no to this,  then it would become the norm.
Yes, I agree with you that KYC is easy to be used by some junk project parties. I don't know what they will do, or affect me in the future. But it is possible that such behavior has slowly radiated the entire airdrop. Many people refer to such practices to obtain people's information and mean means.
