I think the issue here is that Instagram has a different idea of the importance of a phone number than you do. They consider a phone number to be more personal information than your full name. Your phone number is also trivially tied to your full name anyway, unless you paid for a burner phone in cash wearing a ski mask.
- Reelin 7y ago> trivially tied to your full name For a government perhaps, but not your average person. This is similar to claiming that my ISP provided IP address is trivially tied to my full name because someone could subpoena it.
- sneak 7y agoThis is false. You are thinking via a carrier; but it turns out that your phone number is mapped to your name and address in hundreds of private databases which are sold to data brokers. Getting name and email and address from phone number is widely available and cheap for anyone.
