I think a bigger isn't isn't just collecting consent for this, but it's questioning is the data neccessary to perform the business need they're asking for it and is it coerced consent. GDPR is great, however phone companies still collect biometic data and claim that it's "necessary" (It's not) They do so and claim it's neccessary, when it's the copy of the passport that is necessary. Additionally forcing the collection of it otherwise you can't get a phone number is not exactly consent. That's coerced. This is the case of Telefonica in Spain (Where I went to the store and they didn't warn me but coerced me into going through this with a store rep right there) This is also the case in Sounder apartments where they want pictures of your id and of you to rent from them. https://www.sonder.com/ https://www.sonder.com/
