    No fukking way am I going to be sending those data mining sh!tehawks that sort of documentation.

    There is no legitimate reason for a social media platform to hold that sort of data on users.

    Joke is if you have an android phone or use google services or have one of those home eavesdropping devices they probably know exactly who you are and a massive amount about your activities and proclivities already.

    No kidding, people are up in arms about privacy yet they wilfully give out a lot of info about themselves through social media and online activity without a second thought.. :p

    I can understand to a certain extent such a requirement, I've not received such a request but I'd certainly be very reluctant to share Personal or financial info with any 3rd party site. My account is using a Gmail account, in existence for over 20 years, as Google owns this site you'd have to think common sense would prevail by checking how long users Gmail account in existence?

    Never been asked but then that could be because I have Google pay so they already have the information they need?
    I don’t care anyway, it makes my life easy.
