Prevent Deepseek R2 being trained on it
If only there were people with multiple passports or, I don’t know, Kyrgyzstan.
How exactly will passport check prevent any training?
At most this will block API access to your average Ivan, not a state actor
Yeah, I just don't see myself using o3 when I have Gemini-2.5 Pro. I don't recall if Google Cloud verified my ID in the past, though. Still, no need to let yet another organization have my data if I'm not getting something better in return.

It generally does not. No idea if there are edge cases where it does, but that's definitely not the norm for the average user.
It's most likely for regulation compliance, instead of a sincere attempt to block anyone from training on them.
