If you think I'm joking, check your own current paid ISP plan's terms of service. Non-trivial probability they're already doing similar to you, at least if you're not protected by something like the EU's GDPR.
Is that what's going on here, or is their business model different somehow?
Anyways...So they will pay you in their crypto token., Which they then accept as payment.Or you can sell yourself. Im assuming they are going to expand on this somehow.
Also a while back they were talking about another app that carriers were going to opt into that allows people to use each others phones a a hotspot for a small fee.
Just a guess but maybe something with this as well.
They are not the only company going this way there are going to be some announcements very soon of others going this path

No wonder it is free. Probably it is a blatant data mining attempt by Persona, the company who does the "identity validation" service.
Requires: Legal name, Legal Address, DOB and a government id (DL or Passport).
Wtf guys

Your record will be sold and expect a lot of junk mails and emails, not worth giving DL let alone selfie is far from it.

my man, be careful this is how ppl ruin their life..
for example LOTS of COVID claims were filled with fraudulent info and recipients are keeping the cash while the victims of ID theft are investigated for proven bogus claims

I already freeze all my credit, and set up monitoring. Honestly, everyone's information is on darknet. There really isn't anything more that I can do on individual level. Signing up another service like this really doesn't do any more harm on privacy. I set it up on a dummy secondary phone so it doesn't track my location.
