This is exactly what I am feeling (the title, didn't read). I can't see why I would give a copy of my official id card or a picture of my face to a basic service on the Internet. Seriously ? They do not deserve it. Even my phone number is too much but well Google has it now.

Givin a copy of your ID card to a website? Damn. In my times, we didn't even use to provide our _real name_ to websites.

Luckily it’s already possible to verify your age without actually giving out any data like your birthdate
