Twitter does lock you out and force you to give them your phone number, even if you technically can register without one. I’ve seen them do so almost instantly

- monksy 4y agoThat's very concerning. Many phone companies require you to back your hard number to a national id. Say something bad about insert monarchy... They'll trace you down with that.(Turkcell does that just for wifi at IST)
- dathinab 4y agoIn many countries they are required to do so by law for acquiring any phone number. Including per-paid. It's not uncommon that it's true for _any_ phone number including VoIP. But a single person as a "company" can get a huge number of VoIP numbers and then "accidentally" get hacked by a illegal phishing call center then using that numbers. Or maybe that persons passport got stolen and used by a similar locking person. Or the passport verifying personal got bribed. Etc.
