      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 was able to bypass that by logging into YouTube without a phone number, and then going to Google accounts. Not sure if that still works.
