What. The. Actual. Fuck.

#OneProvider requires "verifying" my credit card details by sending them a photo of myself holding my ID, and a photo of me holding the credit card in question.

Are they out of their minds? No, honestly, what have they been smoking and where can I get some!

@rysiek I think France has passed quite strict "anti-terror" laws in recent years, so possibly providers of online services have been pressed to make sure their (foreign) customers are identifiable. Even if that was the case (a conjecture on my part), this seems like a particularly absurd implementation...
