alt Hacker NewsSorry, which web shops demand governmental ID? I have never had to provide them mine in any of the countries I’ve lived in.
If your concern is the webshop finding out your address, well I’m unsure how you solve this when you buy with crypto, but again ship to your home. If you have an alternative place to get it delivered for privacy, might as well do that with fiat transactions the same way.

Basically all web shops in Brazil require you to give a government ID to buy anything (usually your CPF number).

The store usually* doesn't demand it, but your ID is tied to your cards via your bank's KYC obligations anyway
* It's becoming more common for sites to ask for ID, I've gotten prompted for it buying a cellphone online, to access an old Facebook account and even Hetzner (Before ever using it) because I got flagged as high risk
