> We are not collecting more than we need

Why does anthropic need more than a credit card for paying subscribers?

Issuer country is not a very good proxy for nationality, I suppose.

Wouldn't this also be true of government issued ID's? There's nothing preventing a non-US national from having a drivers license...

Maybe I just don't understand the definitions?

I am working on the assumption that the ID is used to check against some database or other via some state-provided route.
