This sets up a false dilemma, i.e. there are other ways to build goodwill.
With that said, I suspect the data behind this is not data that the average individual would have much success in acquiring.
The subtle hostility seems unnecessary.

- ilikehurdles 4y agoBy providing a phone number, I don’t know if I’m helping build out their dataset, and I don’t know how that data will be used, secured, or sold in the future. Even if they have the data, simply asking for it can give a signal that this data isn’t stale - the number is likely live and owned by an individual.
