> That’s totally fine, i am not against services requiring phone numbers during registration.
I am completely opposed to services having any PII (Personal Identifiable Information) beyond an email address because the dumbass services keep my PII and then lose it when they get hacked.
If I can go collect a million dollars from a company that loses my PII, I'd let them collect it. SInce I can't, my best option is to refuse.
If you want to verify, take a credit card number. At least I can cancel and change that when some dumbass get hacked and loses it.
