Just tried to help a friend register an account and they're demanding access to her webcam?!?!

"we will require you to take a photo of yourself with your webcam"

I understand they need to deal with KYC/AML laws, but no law or regulation requires this. I have accounts with 3 brokerage firms, 2 banks, and Gemini, and none have ever demanded access to my computer's hardware.

Coinbase, what are you trying to pull here? Accessing our computer's hardware is not required by KYC or AML laws/regulations. What's your true endgame?
