@nosleep >objectively good

don't get me fucking started. :assburger:

>but i don't really understand your phobia for phone number authentication

Because things should be kept easily accessible and don't require weird extra steps when nothing special is at skate.

I understand when delivery service wants my phone number because courier might need to phone me if they can't find me, negotiate delivery time etc. I understand when bank wants my ID and passport because finances are serious business.

I don't understand why internet messenger wants my phone number which is linked to my passport and private data and most likely easily greppable in leaks.

I understand that it's for "spam protection" that I don't care about (and which has better alternatives like captcha and email verification) and for "network effect" which is something i wish to avoid entirely. And obviously to sell my phone number to spammers and subscribe me to some bullshit shit on my behalf that i REALLY want to avoid.

Bottom line - I should've be going to nearest gas station and electronics store to get 2€ sim card and 10€ burner phone just to access some dumb messenger to post memes that has better alternatives that doesn't require me to spend 12€ just to access it.

Yes, the investigations were thorough, timely, and convincing:

“We never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence. Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question. There were several states in which the law was changed by the secretary of State and not the state legislature. To me, those are clearly unconstitutional, and I think there’s there’s still a chance that those actually do finally work their way up to the Supreme Court.” - Rand Paul

Just because CNN doesn't talk about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

You can trust them. I don't.
