Guest profile picture(s)

I've started getting bookings from guests with no profile pictures.  I let a whole cottage, I would be much more concerned if I let rooms in my own home, and I also insist on government ID but a profile picture is meant to be a minimum requirement and the notes say this will be shared with hosts.  I am concerned that this lapse in security may indicate a wider issue and the government ID check may not be being carried out as it should be; this would be an issue for me as I allow instant booking.  Does anyone else have concerns?

guests are allowed to make their photo be anything at all. This is why I ask to see ID, then I know for myself that they are who they say they are. Any host who is relying on ABB to verify identity and/or help pursue a problem guest after the fact will be sorely disappointed I think.

I have included in the listing and in house manual that profile photo must be included
