I can't because they're asking for my ID. Is this even legal? Any third party tool to scrap all of your personal data?

@gnu_f4jbs Very odd; they let me in with an email verification code.
@gnu_f4jbs @aral it’s a good idea to download the archive. Gives you a way to proof later data mischiefs, should they occur
