Except when it isn’t. You never gave corporations any express overt consent to represent you with and to the government. Unless you did - what were the conditions?
According to the Privacy Act of 1974 - even if Verizon claims first party contractor- you reserve right to deny or refuse parity of any digital ID for use at their platform as you may do toward the USG.

Our personal contents are just that, OURS. Without our consent and full knowledge, their option is theft.
All the easier to do a parallel construction. Big Tech are willing co-conspirators as we saw today in the Supreme Court.
Cancel & boycott Verizon as your wireless and phone service provider!!
