I don't do business with any of these cash-free folks, same way I don't do business with anyone who "followed COVID protocols" or flies the blue and yellow. Why would anyone continue putting money in to the pockets of people who wish to do them harm?

Wife broke her phone last year. When she got a new one, FB wanted driver license to access her account on that phone. Sucks bc we have 15 yrs if family pictures on there.

She only posted dank memes though and spent more time being banned than not.

Omg,, everything else i could write is not positive!

Lord Jesus help us !

If you use a Samsung, do not allow Google any analyitics, use fake accounts for play store, nav, etc, and disable all extra services, you aren't giving anything to anyone but yourself. Go a step further and use a prepaid mvno where you don' t need credit check

Vanced youtube still works, adblock still works, open nearly everything incognito other than your selling websites and this board

Waiting in line for something or sitting at a restaurant waiting for food while on this Q board or reading the drops....now you're playing with power!

Welcome anon.

I also have followed the same route for a while.

If i can't get in with a temp sms, then im not putting a real sms# in to get an account.

That's a bridge too far.

Here's what's happening with your cell phone # with big tech and their big data:

DECLARE @Users_Cell_Number INT
SET @Users_Cell_Number = <your cell #>

SELECT * FROM GOOGLE.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM FACEBOOK.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM APPLE.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM TWITTER.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM MICROSOFT.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM AMAZON.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM EBAY.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

SELECT * FROM GOV.HEALTH.DB WHERE PHONE = @Users_Cell_Number;
UNION

.... (etc.)

And then someone can see everything you have ever done.

TL;DR: YOUR CELL # IS A PRIMARY KEY IN A DATABASE TO ID YOU!

I thought ebay went cashless long ago?

I stopped the moment Paypal was hacked Like 15 years ago.

Cancelled everything.

17 years. It was timed precisely.

I'm not sure if all these corporations are connected, BUT, I was once an employee of an Organization, like in the early 90s, and have had multiple Phone numbers between then and now....

This past Month, they called me on my girlfriends phone....

Yeah, shit is that deep....

And I don't have a phone, haven't had one for almost twenty years....

Starlink Quantum Satellite phone - ready to be used........Elon Musk product

Nobody buys shit locally. Craigslist is 99% dead with the exception of used cars and yard equipment. Facebook marketplace is dead. Offerup is dead. The only possible way to sell things second hand is eBay and I do have relative success to backup my claim.

That's called 2-factor authentication and it's actually a pretty good thing. Get the smart phone. You'll like it.
