Please, NN admin/management, make a proper announcement concerning your appointment of secureIDverify as the company you have chosen to verify the identity of people in photographs. The two main things I think you should explain are;

Why you have chosen secureIDverify to do this job for you, and why your members can be confident that the scans of any ID documents they send to secureIDverify are safe. You're asking members to send copies of documents such as passports or driving licences that have high security risks associated with them. As there is no independent review of this company, and no regulatory system to see they're legitimate and adhere to strong standards, I think most members will agree this is quite an uncomfortable position to be put into.

Also, please explain whether every single person posting from now onwards is being asked to go through this process of verification. I can see lots of new photos with faces being posted by non-Premium members and I find it hard to believe every one of those people have gone through the verification process with secureIDverify. Or am I wrong? If I am not wrong, I think an explanation of why you'd select some people to go through the process and not others is a reasonable request.

I believe, by making a proper announcement or at least a proper Forum entry or Blog entry covering this matter you'll avoid a lot of members contacting you individually with their concerns. As a member for maybe ten years on NN I am very reluctant to use secureIDverify with the current lack of information around them to make me feel secure in sending them a copy of my driving license or passport.
