[tor-relays] ISP is aking me to send a selfie holding my identity card

[Alexander Dietrich]

I have no experience with Hetzner, but no ISP in Germany (or elsewhere)
has ever asked me for a copy of my passport. I'd rather spend my money
elsewhere. 

(For German readers: it's illegal to create photocopies of the latest
generation of ID cards, except for government agencies, banks and such,
AFAIK.) 

Kind regards,
Alexander

In Germany you have to send them a copy of your passport before they even get you a server. Got this with Hetzner. So, nothing to worry about.
