You can't post photos as a newbie, but you can still show us the link to the screenshot.

I haven't received any message like that from MetaMask, so it's likely that your browser data has been infected, most likely from a site that uses MetaMask that has disguised a user opt-in form (or similar) method to capture/phish your data.

From my understanding, MetaMask doesn't provide account support if you lose your seed, so it would surprise me if they actually did send out some form of warning.

Edit: Actually, wait... Since when does MetaMask require KYC verification? Huh Sounds to me like you're on another website that accepts a MetaMask plugin that is trying to phish information, not on the MetaMask site itself...

You can upload a picture to like www.imgur.com and paste the link.

What KYC are you trying to do? Did you download metamask from metamask.io (one of the chrome/firefox addon pages it links to)?

Well, I didn't research the project but I would not ignore the warning. Do you have any reason to doubt the project or the people behind it? Did you do your research?
I guess it's an airdrop you just entered? In that case, just skip this one. Better safe than sorry. Alternately you could ask in their telegram/discord chat and see how they respond.
