Why giving personal data to ID.me + other aggregators is so dangerous
Who Are ‘They’ and Why Is It Extremely Difficult to Avoid the Clutches of These Data Monsters?
From their unusual funding sources to their odd Terms & Conditions and their vague policies around retention of biometric and other information, your best bet is to avoid this company and others.
In the first article (link), I discussed how I felt the IRS tricked me into giving my personal information to a third-party company called ID.me.
This article is about one of the largest digital identity companies ID.me and their key competitors, in which I answer the following questions:
What is ID.me? Who runs it?
What do their Terms & Conditions allow them to do with my data?
Who is financing them?
Why should you be concerned?
Who else is doing this to us?
The nature of venture capital funding
Originally founded in 2013 as a re-branding of a company called Troop ID, the ID.me company has since raised substantial capital through various funding rounds to fuel its growth. The company attracted significant investment from venture capital firms, many of which have global reach and diversified portfolios. The nature of venture capital funding often means that ownership stakes and influence may originate outside the United States.
ID.me has major investors from Australia, which is becoming a center of globalist policy and killer of civil rights. The Australian government regularly talks about putting people in jail for speaking out about vaccine injury. Other investors in ID.me are from Abu Dhabi (UAE), a country that continues to restrict freedom of expression, human rights, and the right of peaceful assembly. And then investors from Japan including Fortress Investment Group LLC got their fingers into ID.me, after receiving massive funding from such globalist corrupt-o-crats as Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers underwriting the IPO. These countries and companies have no business owning a U.S. company that collects so much personal and biometric information about our citizenry and military. Live links and more at
