No imprint, no privacy policy, nothing. But I should submit my cell number? Seriously?

  Magic had a barebones page with no privacy policy too (and still does, surprisingly), yet thousands of people gave them their cell number. That's not a good thing, but still.

    Sorry for being so outdated, but what is this "Magic"?

      It is a text message service that purports to handle just about any request you make (food delivery, whatever), they just tack on a fee to the price. They had to limit to a wait list, as the demand exploded.

    How do you now, that thousands of people provided their cell number? Did they make those figures public?
