How is my assumption wrong? They haven't even implemented it fully yet.
There's google voice for a number. Probably other services that offer that.
I think your post has a lot of assumptions... Social graph? What?
- xendipity 6y agoI recently created a Facebook account with a made up name and a new Google Voice phone number to sell an old monitor and the account was disabled within 2 hours.
- shortandsweet 6y agoPerhaps it was disabled due to money being involved? I could see that as fraudulent activity myself.
- distances 6y agoNot just for this purpose, but Facebook accounts in general. If you try to create one without a valid number and/or seemingly valid friends list, chances are it's blocked in no time. I don't know a thing about Google Voice, but I for one wouldn't bother setting up some fake numbers to create a fake account to use my own hardware.
- shortandsweet 6y agoThat's fair as long as FB specifies these requirements ahead of time. I'd be unhappy if FB didn't tell you and this is only discovered after the fact.
- cptskippy 6y agoI tried to create a work Facebook account using my work email address and phone number and they required SMS verification. I tried all manner of services, even Twilio but Facebook seems to be able to differentiate.
