And THAT is one of the reasons Facebook and Google don't have my phone number despite multiple requests for it. -- nm - Bacon Jun 21, 15:15 3

  - twitter, too. Their phone-based two-factor auth concept is dumb. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 15:22 1
    - I don't believe they only want it for authentication. I can pretty much guarantee they use it for data sales. -- nm - Bacon Jun 21, 15:26
also, since it was a glitch, it would generally only be an "event", like a level zero or level one - Beryllium Jun 21, 15:14
