I mean, if you're a dissident in a country with a violent government, maybe don't use the service that requires personal information?
It seems a bit much to me to say no service ever should require people's phone numbers because somewhere, someone might make a bad decision and use the service when they shouldn't have.
- reaperducer 7y agoThat's like saying, "I mean, if you're a dissident in a country with a violent government, maybe don't use any service and keep your mouth shut because your freedom isn't as important as my VC money." Maybe SV should try to innovate more instead of reverting to "Wow, sucks to live where you do; hold my craft beer" so much these days. The internet was supposed to set people free. It's not working.
