I lost a 10 year old account last week for the same thing. Today i got perma'd on a burner and now I can't make a new account without using a VPN.
I'm only there for meme warfare and red pilling people. No big loss but hilarious nonetheless. Imagine being so scared about the truth that you'll be reading private messages or whatever algorithm they have looking for this shit.
I understand and agree with your statement, but what happens if they start forcing us all to take it if we don't have proof?
Better to have it and not use it UNTIL you're forced to show it, and that's what I want to have one for. Similar to owning a gun; Don't use it until you absolutely need to use it (other than for obvious reasons like target practicing).
