Yep, and this is after them for years claiming "not using" your phone number after alleged "verification" until EU forced them to admit they were lying.
- ttt0 6y agoGood to know. I was recently wondering if I'm not being too protective about my phone number, but apparently not giving it away to the likes of Twitter was the right call.
- dudul 6y agoNote that I believe it is now impossible to sign up for twitter without giving away your phone number.
- MereInterest 6y agoAs of a few months ago, it is possible to make an account, but it cannot use the API unless you give a phone number. Since that is what I wanted to try out, I backed off after learning that and so I don't know if there are any other limitations.

- ttt0 6y agoLast time I checked it was possible, but they will lock your account after a day or so until you verify the account with your phone number.
- dudul 6y agoI checked just before writing my message and phone verification was required before even picking a username and password.
