Why are people so bothered with govt requiring a single photo for some websites when private companies already have all the data of almost all humanity?

Most of the 3rd parties being used for this are based in the US. You're sending your photo and details to a foreign entity. That same foreign entity is likely used by lots of sites.

Oh look, that foreign entity now has a profile of you, and what sites you've visited.

Fast forward a year, they get hacked (or maybe even just sold), a copy of your personally identifiable details are pinched along with your browsing history.

I really really hope you weren't being naive enough to go down the utterly stupid "nothing to hide" route with your line of thinking.
