Big no to the Spotify's current "Age restricted content and checking your age" - method!

[antitotalitarian]

This made me end the 15 years long customer relationship with Spotify!

"Spotify is testing age assurance technologies in select markets, utilizing our own internal age estimation technology and partnering with Yoti, a trusted digital identity company. This technology helps us identify if users are eligible to access some Spotify content and features."

Never!

I have my principles!
I don't show my face or ID card to anyone other than the trusted, (local) authorities!
There is other methods available that won't require to take pictures of youself or of your ID! Such as "authenticate with bank credentials". THAT is safe method!

I took screenshots of all my Spotify playlists, so that I can make those lists in another platform(s).

I've never heard of "Yoti" and I hope I will never hear in the future.
No matter how long that company has been around.
I don't trust Yoti and for this stupid decision of Spotify, I won't trust Spotify neither.
I don't trust this method. There is too many unknown middlemen!
I would be total **bleep** if I revealed my face or my ID card to this company (Duncan Francis, Noel Hayden, and Robin Tombs)!
No one else knows what Yoti is going to do with this data, but those people I mentioned.
Selling personal information of common people to hypercapitalistic corporations and foreign governments is BIG business!
There is no evidence that would convince me of Yoti's sincerity! Or from this day, Spotify's neither!
