So you can anonymously create a Gmail account? Or is that just the next hop in the subpoena/investigation process?
Edit: Just tried creating a Gmail, it required a phone number.
- hyperdimension 7y agoDoes it require a phone number, or just prompt for it? From what I've heard, it always has a field for a phone number, but it sometim es lets you submit without one (based on some sort of not-a-bot trust score, ReCAPTCHA v3 maybe?)
- Forbo 7y agoRequired, couldn't proceed through account creation without it. At least when I tested it just now that was the case.
- pyc0d333 7y agoyou can actually create gmail accounts without phone numbers
- codedokode 7y agoFor me in Russia gmail always requires a phone number. But my ISP is large and maybe someone of its users was sending spam or did something bad.
- RandomBacon 7y agoThere are ways to create Gmail accounts that don't require phone numbers.
