Been warning people about this for years. Every major social media company has been pushing this shit as "security", when in reality its whats known in intelligence circles as "linkability". The more points of verification, the better a profile can be built to associate an actual identity with an email address, screen name, username, alias, etc. Snowden warned everyone about this, nobody listened.
- annadane 8y agoHow many other social media companies? Curious.
- kpcyrd 8y agotwitter also aggressively collects your phonenumber. Telegram is so aggressively anti privacy that I tried around 5 numbers I own and only 2 of them worked.
- vokep 8y agoWhile this is true, is 2FA not generally a good thing? SMS verification increases linkability maybe, but a yubikey or something similar?
