Fb and G screwed themselves by: forcing users to submit real cell phone numbers (no forwarding numbers allowed) and real names. I’m laughing all the way to the apple oauth signup. So tired of G and Fb abusing users

Apple now requires 2FA for new accounts created on an iPhone and for 2FA they require a phone number.

but you can just go to icloud.com, sign up, and then type that into your phone. a pretty easy workaround.

Hmmm that’s annoying then.

From a privacy standpoint, yes, but from a Signal:Noise ratio, this is what made Fb usable for so long.
