I have had the legacy account for years.
Bittrex locked me up about a week ago, so I made a successful ID verification, but I refused to make an extended KYC verification. They want a photo of my face along with the ID, but I disagree with it.
My argument is that they don't have my permission to own and keep my photo. From my point of view, it is a great risk to give them such a picture.

I wanted to terminate account, but they always reply with asking for that photo.

So today they asking for our face photo with ID, and next time they will want maybe our DNA or other biometric identification. Who knows.
I don't understand how they can rob people in this way.

Maybe they are suspecting some malicious activities in your account, so I would advise that if you have coins in that account, just carry out the verification since there is nothing else you can do about this, maybe a rule have been broken and the only way for them to get your account unlocked is to carry out KYC for you alone. I don't make use of bittrex for trading so I might not be able to say what really happened that your account was blocked, I like their platform but I am already making use of binance for my trading activities.

He must have probably harassed them through his mail with the issue of KYC which every one of them is now beginning to be strict with, another reason why I fell they are so adamant with the issue of KYC is because they are centralized exchange and being centralized, they have to still be care the way they operate by strictly following government law too, since we already know the nature of these exchange, we should not be finding it so hard to abide by their policies, if we cant abide, then we should go for the decentralized exchanges. These exchanges are not willing to bend for the KYC.
