Calling it "Know Your Customer" is bullshit. That is a Federal thing for BANKS to make sure that companies aren't funneling money to "terrorists" and "drug cartels" and anything else the Feds can do to invade your privacy.
It's NOT a legal thing for these porn companies to be doing. There is no law that says they need that info in order for me to send them traffic on the internet.
The only thing they need to do is send me a W-9
I already gave them my name, address, bank, and tax info.
The rest of it is pure nonsense.

I'm guessing they also ask employees for social security numbers (National Insurance in the UK)? If so that's pretty much a form of government ID on file with the employer.
I can actually see why they're asking for this stuff and don't have an issue with it besides the safeguarding of data.
