FTA: The IDs leaked were from people appealing age verification.
That's different from the age verification process, which goes through a third party provider.
In short, the leaked IDs were from a standard shitty support platform (Zendesk, Salesforce, etc), not the much-advertised "safe and private" age verification system.
