    Can someone “redpilled by corporate” explain me how this policy actually increase security?

    It’s trivial for a malware developer to pay $25 with a stolen card and a stolen id

    Look at the “verified” bots on xitter, they didn’t solve the bots problem, rather just monetized it

      It’s not about stopping malware; it’s about being able to act on malware.

      Making a new account with a new phone number and new credit card is a minor barrier to entry.

      That said, it’s a cool story, but I think they’re looking to stop vanced style patching.

      I would assume that you won’t just be able to register with a stolen id and stolen card.

        if scammers can open a bank account with stolen identities, i’d assume google, which is entirely run by bots without any human oversight, wouldn’t have a better detection

          You don’t think Google have better tech than banks?

          Oh boy. You have no idea how old and bad the underlying tech that banks work on is.
