If you think U.S. based processors are unfair, breaking your laws, are the Dubya of adult online, then go find one in your area of the world that matches your business model and practices.
Common sense.

That isn't entirely true and he kind of has a legitimate point but it totally depends on the American privacy laws, which I do not know.
You can not be held to a contract if it forces you to do something illegal. So even though you read and sign a contract you are not completely bound to it if something within that contract requires you to do something that is illegal. Now, is handing over government issued IDs to a third parties illegal? I really haven't the slightest idea.
That would pretty much be the key element in the whole argument.
Though, now I'm wondering even further... European content producers. If I buy content from you, is it legal for you to give me the IDs? Because I want them. And if it is legal, why is it legal?
