You know when you create a new account with any modern service, such as facebook, twitter or gmail, how you're kind of forced into giving your fucking phone number to them?
I created a brand new twitter account, the other day, I press skip for phone verification, roughly 3 minutes later my account is locked "for suspicious activity" or automated activity crap along those line, and needs a phone number to unlock... what automated activity, this is a flipping fresh account I made for personal use, so screw adding a phone number to it, whole point of me creating a separate one is not to have my number tied to it.
I've noticed practically EVERY major service does this, and it drives me mental, seems to get set off at random, even had my proper facebook account locked and needed to upload ID... who the fuck do they think they are.. very privacy intrusive, so I decided fuck it, I'm not using facebook anymore.
Why are a lot of services becoming very privacy intrusive lately? even using those disposable numbers doesn't work because literally every Nigerian scammer has gotten there hands on it because there free. grr.
Anyway else have a similar situation? I understand my bank asking me for ID, but fucking facebook, hell no I'm not giving them that, what next they want my DNA, no thanks.
Facebook is one of those odd services that are a bit like this, oh you lost your password and your email, sorry there is no way to unlock your account, oh we locked your account, hey psst give us your ID and we will unlock it... wtf
Literally, in cases like this i don't know why they just don't send you a verification email, logged in from a unknown location, that's ok click this link to login, instead of, hey lets lock your account, psst we need ID or you're never getting your account back.
So I quit with facebook lol.
