For all the people currently freaking out about the Once Human Privacy Policy.
The policy states under "Personal Information we receive from you:" that they receive "Name & Contact Details" "Such as first and last name, title, prefix, email address, telephone number, (instant) messaging account, postal address, date of birth, age, gender, country/region, and government-issued ID, such as passport information, as required by applicable laws for age verification and correction of personal information."
The general internet has warped this into a demanded requirement and a privacy issue. It's not. These are only sent to the company when required by applicable local laws. This is why it says "Receive from you" and "as required by applicable laws".
In some countries government issued ID's are required for live service game access. If you are not in one of these countries you obviously are not asked or required to present those documents.
Fearmongering on social media is boring as shit.
Helldivers 2 is now banned for purchase in Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia as of 7 minutes ago. Still trying to say this is Steams fault?
Worst publisher in the industry.

The Helldivers 2 community was tricked by Sony.
Sony declared having a PSN account would be mandatory to play Helldivers 2. The community revolted and trashed the games review score to 13% positive. Sony walked it back and stated they wouldn't be making PSN mandatory.
Declaring victory the community undid the massive wave of negative reviews. Yet Sony did something sinister in the background. They restricted Helldivers 2 from being purchased in all 177 countries where PSN isn't available.
They fooled you and the devs are still fighting to fix it.

An important update…
I could just type the damned thing out, but the internet gals said “bad news does better if it’s in an image”.
If your keycard isn’t working, that’s how you know you’re affected.
2. I cover the bill here, which protects "religious or moral beliefs" from being considered "not in the best interest" of LGBTQ+ kids.
