Banks are highly regulated so it is not surprising that they would be strict in this, reddit on the other hand has no business doing it.

As much as I dislike it, it makes sense for banks to do that.

Let’s not forget all that lovely metadata they can harvest by accessing the camera module, including the exact GPS co-ordinates the picture was taken.

Within banking apps it has become the norm, it shouldn't mean it's acceptable, but for the wider community it is accepted.

But for a fucking forum?? Christ. Especially at a time when Europe are trying to establish digital sovereignty and all of the stories coming out about the US government having access to data. We already know that they are willing to share that with the highest bidder (s).

People would have to be absolute morons to upload anything personal to Reddit, nevermind your photo ID like a passport or driving licence. But obviously that's what they're banking on (people being morons).

Sounds like a good area that's about to get a whole lot better at faking this system. I would just take a picture of a picture if that's what it takes. Then again, I would never do this and will just look elsewhere.
