Running Google Ads requires uploading your drivers license or passport. I'm a volunteer at a teeny non-profit. Why should I have to surrender that level of personal information for a business/non-profit account where I'm not even employed (no one is, it's all volunteers)? I didn't, and the account was suspended.

I wish advertisers had to put their DNA on file. Not really but the amount of fraud is unbelievable. See a few Joe Rogan, Elon Musk deepfakes shilling supplements and “esavers” and you wonder what more should be done. Even with great verification advertiser accounts still get highjacked!

Not sure what your best option would’ve been. It’s a pickle.
