That is why I'm avoiding to use Xapo wallet. I have an account there, but I don't use.
Now the internet mania is the "control of web", they want your ID, you photo, documents... People should stop using services that ask for this kind of personal informations. Unfortunelly some of them we can't stop using, like Facebook, because it's important for our advertising activities. But I would like to stop Facebook, because they want all personal informations.
I miss the old times of internet... I just would like to have the BTCs on that time.
You are right in a way. Before there was much more anonimity on Internet and that was what most people liked about it. I liked that too. But back then there was also not so many bad things going on like all sorts of scams, frauds, stealing of identity, online terrorism, money laundering.... Internet has changed big time.
Ssrvices like Xapo are just trying to protect themselves and their users against all that.
Unfortunately with time we will have less and less anonimity and privacy online.
