the dev is right. anyone can ask for id card. even in the cinema or when buying alcohol. everyone can set houserules lol. And another thing: its not even a company. What amazes me is that people sent their Copy ID, Bankcard, utility bills to companys like BTC-E(some czech company) or Mtgox (JAPAN?) and when they read about this ID validation system people get mad.
Lol sorry but here in Europe we dont have to give a copy of our ID to a cinema nor to buy alcohol. I've never given my ID to an exchange neither.
That you have to give your ID to a BANK is normal it's a bank, not some random person behind a screen..
It's a very serious matter here to give a copy of your ID and only authorized companies or government instances can get them.
Well I used to work a few years back in a Dutch Cinema and we had to ask for every person looking younger than 23 for a ID, if they didn't have it with them and the movie was 16+ you were not allowed to the movie. Also everyone at this moment under the age of 25 years old has to show their ID when buying alcohol in the Netherlands. So what you're saying is not entirely correct.
