Perhaps I should have said GDPR would apply if a .co.uk or .fr or .de website rather than using a .com.Caveat emptor
Dont believe that is accurate GDPR applies if site interact with users from EU period. This is why some US site blocked traffic from EU until they were compliant. Your analogy of a U.S. department store doesnt apply since the internet has always been global and international unlike a brick and mortar store that can only be in a single location.
This is a pile of crap.
We didn't sign up under these conditions. My wife doesn't want to be very involved, but we maintain a couples account for integrity and accountability. We paid for lifetime membership, but now the goalposts are moved. Our participation is now screwed up.
A refund is in order.

What is? Are you saying you are not 18 or over, and or do not own pictures or have permission to use photos you upload? As stated in the initial post by teamtrue2, that pretty much sums up the new requirements being enforced.
Not necessarily.
Anyone who was not certified could upload pictures before and now they can't.
It used to be that uploading two personal shots with a paper sign got through certification, whereas now a photo ID image is also required.
I've certified here but didn't on TS. I can no longer upload there, and don't wish to produce a photo ID to do so again.

On another thread, people said they blacked out most of the info ID thieves would want and apparently that was OK.
Not that it really matters. Do a google search on your own name, you may be surprised / horrified how much info is out there.
I got a Christmas card the other day. The name and address on the return address were unknown to me, so I did a google search. Turns out it was from the CEO of the last company I worked for. I found his home address, home phone, wifes name, past employer ... in about 5 minutes.
A simple search from the Mastercard website reveals this:
Enhancing requirements for adult content, preventing anonymous content
This month, we are extending our existing Specialty Merchant Registration requirements. The banks that connect merchants to our network will need to certify that the seller of adult content has effective controls in place to monitor, block and, where necessary, take down all illegal content.
You might ask, "Why now?" In the past few years, the ability to upload content to the internet has become easier than ever. All someone needs is a smartphone and a Wi-Fi connection.
Now, our requirements address the risks associated with this activity. And that starts with strong content control measures and clear, unambiguous and documented consent.
Other updated requirements include:
Documented age and identity verification for all people depicted and those uploading the content
Content review process prior to publication
Complaint resolution process that addresses illegal or nonconsensual content within seven business days
Appeals process allowing for any person depicted to request their content be removed
It is very obvious how Mastercard can influence and control the behavior of vendors who chose to use their services.
When writing terms the first to consider is whether you need to reserve to right to change the terms. A website would have to do that as it's unlikely the terms would never need changing over the site's lifetime, as MasterCard proved.
He meant to pose nude for certify the profile. A nude pic has to be sent.
This.
Thank you.
It's a breach of the original agreement. They should refund previous memberships or automatically upgrade them to certified and require only new members to conform to the new standards. Moving the goalposts in a contractual agreement is not okay.
