Account regarded as 'High Risk' for no reason
I’ve met some amazing people on this platform and we’ve always shared our stories with each other. Out of nowhere, I got banned yesterday and suddenly couldn’t message anyone. The only way to get unbanned is to complete a real‑name verification that requires uploading my passport and other sensitive documents including a photo of myself with my passport.
I’m unsure how safe this is. Has anyone here verified their identity on Rednote and experienced data leaks or anything suspicious afterwards? I understand why banks need this level of information, but Rednote isn’t a bank so why is it asking for it?
