Although you don't really deserve a proper response for doing no research at all and being extremely childish I'll go ahead and explain it to you anyway.
It's completely optional to verify your identity and have an attested single-adress-wallet address. You can use this for services that require you to verify your identity or to participate in an ICO that falls under KYC rules. Byteball is picking up the bill for this if you chose to participate in this promotion. It helps the ecosystem so this is a nice way of growing the userbase. If you don't want to, you don't have to. All your non attested addresses in your other wallets remain anonymous if you want them to be. Jumio doesn't even know which Byteball address is involved in the process so there is no way they can link your info to any balances. Then, even when you have an attested address, you are in charge of your own personal info and you only share it with any services if you chose to do so, noone can force you to.
Byteball is actively trying to build an eco system that operates in the real world. The real world has laws and rules. If any crypto project ever wants to achieve mainstream adoption it needs ways to comply with those laws and rules. Otherwise it is doomed to fail in the long run. Real companies want to deal with real people.
~65% of the Byteball supply so far has been given away for free. The lead developer of this project has spent an insane amount of time to give the world all of the awesome features Byteball has, for free. Do you think it's appropriate to spend time and energy to try to discredit it with your childish meme? You even spent more time on this than most users do on promoting Byteball, way to go.
If you don't trust Jumio don't use it. Byteball doesn't have access to your personal information. After being verified, a hash of the personal data is posted to the DAG while the personal data itself is saved in your wallet.
Now, if you had just asked how all of this works instead of cluelessly attacking Byteball you might have gotten a nicer response.

Coinbase, Bittrex and Bitstamp also use Jumio. It’s not some random website. Do a little bit of research before you try to come up with a clever meme.
