i'm very disappointed... I was not able to create an account on truth social for so many months since it was "released", and now I find that I can. And after a split second of excitement, I find that it requires my phone number?
What, do they wanna sell it to advertisers or something? Are they running some sort of scam operation? Why do they want my phone number? Is this a joke? If I enter my phone number, are they gonna require my proof of vaccination and central bank digital ID next?
I am not seeing how perpetuating this kind of disrespectful and privacy-breaching internet practice is supposed to make America great again...
They need it to verify that you are real and not a bot.
We already have Twitter,we don't need another bot machine.
i don't recall entering my phone number to make an account on this website. Is this website a bot machine?
Also, what about the simple bot verification where you just click a box, and occasionally click a few images of boats or whatever? Far less annoying than entering your phone number into yet another database...
I don't mind. I signed up on day one. Phone number and all. really not a big deal at all
Plus they likely want your phone # to enable SMS push notifications on your mobile, as they're assuming you'll likely want the app on your phone.
I put my number in when I opened my acc.
Clicking images doesn't stop the bots anymore.
