>>61404422
So the government can track you down easier if you post illegal things on it.

ITT people too poor to afford a telephone

>>61404671
>ITT people too smart to not give out their number for a fucking twitter account

FTFY

Because phones require a financial investment, deterring dumb kids from making troll accounts

>>61404679
>tfw to intelligent

fucker what's wrong with that, twitter isn't gonna be calling you at 3 in the morning

I feel bad for whoever has the phone number 0404-040-404 as it's what I use for everything I don't give a shit about

They know you're probably an alt-right retard that's going to harass women and minority groups so they want to be able to identify you.

Hello Machmud

Remember when you weren't supposed to disclose any personal information online?
What the fuck happened to the idea of absolute freedom?

Makes it harder to create spam accounts. Now you have to phish.

>>61405014
How else am I supposed to keep contact with internet friends outside of the small community where we met? Say outside a game.

>>61405114
create your own shitty social network if you are this upset about it. cant wait for all you fucking losers to die from heart disease and stop ruining the internet for the rest of us

>>61404471
>tinfoil conspiracy
kill yourself

it's mainly to stop trolls and paid shills from making multiple accounts

>>61405208
try to login to peri, chaturbate ect with gab

>>61405208
the only reason I have fb is because you can't access some sites without it

>>61404534
>Albania
there's the problem, your country probably has more twitter spambots than people. Of course there's going to be some extra scrutiny.
meanwhile in the land of freedom I just made myself a new account and got the same skippable prompt as >>61404514

>>61405252
Tell me one site that you can not access without it. Please.

>>61405297
You retard I didn't choose Albania, it's the first country in the list.

>>61405316

comments on news sites

>>61405331
it chooses automatically based on your ip address. noscript could stop that from working I guess but the page probably wouldn't load at all.

>>61405348
Can you give me a link to the site?

>>61405361
I got the skippable prompt because I live in the US but after doing nothing for 1 hour, it wants me to put in a phone number. I'm completely locked out of my account.

>>61405359
Has actually nothing to do with the site itself. It just implements facebook.
>inb4 you can not access facebook functions without facebook
Yeah no shit you idiot.

A well placed tweet about something you made can put you on the radar of dozens of companies

>>61405417
I imagine a lot of sites lose commenters if they can't be anonymous. fuck em. some ppl might not say what they wanna say without anonymity.

>>61405538

A well placed tweet about a revolutionary idea can put you on the radar of dozens of gulags

disqus started censoring comments so I closed my account. I don't want some corporation controlling what I can say. it's starting to feel like if you can't be controlled you can't say anything. wtf are they so afraid of trolls? cause that's all they end up with

>>61404727
But they send a code that you have to write in, don't you?

Anonymity is important, especially in today's world where saying the wrong thing could get a butthurt SJW fired from your job or even arrested in Sweden/Ireland/UK's case.

Fuck I miss yikyak.

>>61405945
I wonder if they'll finally realize that the only commenter left are the hardcore that no body cared to read
