    So how does this work for non-US users who’re from countries with different laws and ID types. This sounds like it might break EU and UK laws respectively on the storage and uploading front.

      “By using this site, you waive your right to local EU and UK laws”

      It doesn’t work like that, but I bet Elon will try.

      In EU there are ways to verify yourself online, for instance if you want to get a credit card, etc. This is normally handled by a third-party, which more or less just checks per webcam if the info they got from the other company is the same as what you show them. I don’t see any privacy issues here, that I wouldn’t have seen in processes of other companies, that already do something like this.

      This isn’t something new and I would guess that this is the case with most modern countries.
