This occurs because some platforms sell real phone numbers that haven’t been registered on Telegram(or other platforms require phone number or email to register), as well as email addresses.
We should be cautious about sharing our phone number or email address online. Once it’s out there, it can be challenging to erase, cuz they are all saved in a cloud server, and keeping everything in one place is easy for hacker to attack(don’t ask me y).
Now, Twitter/X requires users to verify their ID From my perspective, the digital realm should remain separate from our offline lives. Internet exists because it offers us capabilities that are restricted in the physical world.
People should really start to migrate. I only use Twitter for daily news check, for other communication or disscussion needs.
What are you guys using for these services? I use WireMin, cuz it is decentralized, which means no central cloud server to keep our data, and not require personal info to create an ID.
I am also a WireMin user. I like that they don’t require personal information to create an account. It’s old-fashioned in a good way – they only ask for a username and a password during registration, they propvide me a unique prive key as my WireMin ID.
