I should have written that I couldn't care less about social media and the people using them. However I do care about my IP rights and my right to privacy and personal data protection which is extremly easily abusable on social networks and file sharing sites.

Anyone can register a shitload of free email addresses, use anonymous phone numbers (there are apps for this) and VPNs, so this kind of "verification" is weak. It doesn't verify the name of the person.

Pretending she even makes it that far. And then the risk of that information being leaked in a database?

You know what is absurd? That your grandma is OK with uploading personal photos (= personal data) of her grandkids to her personal profile on a public social network (especially the one notoriously known for abusing user's personal data) and yet she is worried that her ID might be leaked... Dude, that is fucking absurd, thanks for the laugh.
There is no human right to have a profile on social media, so again zero fucks given about someone's grandma not being able to get on FB.

Yeah, me too... I would start by expressing my opinion that users who share their own personal details and photos on FB are not very clever, but the real idiots are those who share personal details of others, which is a usual thing and nobody controls this unless someone complains.
If someone wanted to ruin the life of your kid, they could do that in a second by publishing a compromising photo or video that could be accessible to millions of people around the world (this shitty tube proves that) - now think about the damage you smartass... and since accounts are not verified and uploads are not checked, preventing it or getting the person who did that could be impossible. Troubles of your grandma with the registration process sound ridiculous compared to the damage that can be done due to the weak protection of the rights of others.
Talking about privacy protection on social networks where people publicly discuss their personal lifes is completely self-contradictory as social networks are privacy violators per se.
BTW:
I hope you realize that everyone in this business who uses pictures and videos depicting other persons (including the tube you are defending here) is actually using (or abusing) their personal data (again, photography containing identification marks = personal data)... That doesn't concern you? I am asking since you seem worried about possible ID leaks from some stupid social network which doesn't even need to store the copies after verification.
BTW2:
Most tubes including CREEP.CLUB are not compliant with GDPR and they are obliged to be - they don't provide the identity of the data controller and their contact details... how surprising that scumbags need to hide their asses...
Yeah, it's fucking time to tighten the laws.
