    But you can only enable it, after you give them your phone number.

    Also, apparently years of subscribing to channels is not as verified as giving them your phone number. They should just say “We really want your phone number and don’t give a shit about anything else”.

      Before I deleted my accounts there, I remember twitter and facebook deactivated your account for “suspicious activity” if you did not provide a phone number when making it, and the only way to reactivate it was to give them your phone number.

      true. But I think that’s mostly to make bots harder to create. Not as easy to get a phone number than an email address
