Twitter forcing new users to supply phone number?
« on: March 29, 2022, 12:50:01 PM »
Today I cracked and made a Twitter account after years of avoiding doing so. I followed a few people, tweeted to the ether about how I have twitter as a joke and now I’ve been locked out, claiming I possibly broke the rules and it’s forcing me to link my phone number , something I absolutely refuse.
It’s bad enough that they actively " softlyencourage" you to make an account if you don’t, by throwing up huge splash screens with laughably tiny x’s, along with having an unacceptable extremely buggy mobile site that crosses the line (constantly get rate limited even after not going on the site for a month, pages often refuse to load, forcing hard refreshes every other page visit) this forced data collection is complete BS.

Sounds like you did it to yourself.

I understand your point, Fudgeo. Unfortunately, big social networks like Twitter/Facebook/Instagram are forced to make the phone linking feature to avoid the massive DDOS attacks and increase the security of their customers.

I just tried registering a new account. It gave me an option to register with an existing Google account.

I recently checked in and he didn’t ask me for any number, just mail.
It's for new accounts, probably old accounts aren't mandatory to fill a phone number.
I remember having to buy a burner number for twitter a few months ago.
FYI the phone verification is after you login, not upon registration.

I haven't experienced this. Why were you locked out in the first place?

I haven't registered on Twitter yet, it's a toxic social network
