I appreciate you constantly bringing up different points of view. In the case of ID theft it just happens to be the worst possible type of 'abuse', second only to phishing. The effects of it are so devastating to the victims that it's best to just inconvenience some of our users. It's one of those things where making easier for one person cannot justify the absolute annihilation of someone else's entire life.

Many people figure our ID theft is just creating an account with the name of some historical figure, but it's not. We'e had people who went through Facebook connections and stole identities of children, derived from their parents' accounts. We had every sort of content creator from other platforms, typically from Instagram, targeted. It costs them their positions as brand ambassadors which is how they make their money. Many, many artists, who are impacted worse than any other group as it just demolishes their entire business. Here's a blast from the past you'll appreciate.
