Yeah, I was contemplating to maybe start a Twitter account, but didn't because of that. They do this pretty much on every account creation after a couple of hours, I guess so that you'd have some time to get on the hook.

I'm kinda used to that and accepted that, apparently, I will never use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Google account because of that. Whatever, I don't care. What was really infuriating, though, is when PayPal asked me to enter my phone "to make my account even safer". Fuck them, but having problems with PayPal is quite a bit more annoying than being unable to use some social media bullshit.

I hear that. I have a Google account because I still use some Google services and it isn't tied to any social media nonsense unless you count YouTube.

For twitter I just favorite the few people I want to follow.

Surprisingly my instagram account has no personal information and haven't had any issues but I don't know why.
