I thought that they were deleting the photos immediately after verification. They didn't??? Why aren't these companies being investigated and punished?

Because money. We'll soon have to take things into our own hands, as the establishment only protects itself, and not us plebs.

This is from the leak last year. What leaked was pictures uploaded to their ticket system to appeal the result of a failed verification.

...so you are saying their verification process is so broken that hundreds of thousands of people had to appeal a false reading. Broken and insecure, what a look.

Why? For example, XING just got sold and with it all personal information. This is why they didn't.
