Ah just like Microsoft who randomly locks my email I account I use only to receive spam email. Suddenly I’ve violated something in the terms of service and here’s a copy of the 200 page legal document. So my account is banned despite not sending emails or anything, just receiving spam email.

Oh unless I provide my phone number. Then they’ll unban me and I can continue presumably breaking the terms of service.

Only your phone number? That's almost benevolent. Here's a list of things companies have asked me for (including Facebook), and which I refused to provide:

- Copy of unspecified ID or driver's license

- High resolution copy of national ID, front and back

- Copy of birth certificate

- 3D video of face
