I keep saying phone numbers for 2FA is dumb but entire industry thinks this is a good idea for some reason. The problem here is that it's not even used as 2FA, it's just one factor and these services think it's sufficient to prove identity.

phone numbers for almost anything is dumb. Discord wants my phone number for forums about sexual topics that could get me killed if I was in certain countries. Obviously I don't want to give them something which actually identifies me.
