Privacy is important when it comes to Cryptocurrency, so why do exchanges like Bitget require KYC (Know Your Customer) for all users, even those who only want to get airdrops? I thought KYC should be for those transacting many Bitcoins, Is it really necessary for everyone?
The reason for making KYC mandatory is to prevent activities like money laundering. Because his kyc document will be given there. Whether or not to use a platform is entirely a personal matter for an individual. If you don't want to do kyc you can use DEX instead of CEX where no kyc is required. But if you are using CEX then you need to complete kyc as it falls within their terms & conditions. And to use their service must follow their terms & conditions
