I wonder if Twitter understands the irony of this

I take it that they are doing that so no one create fake pages??

Those services make money selling your preferences to advertisers. I can deal with email spam but stay far away from my phone!
I heard parler was hacked, it may not be true. So imagine someone having your phone number and all your posts, now imagine thousands of people having your phone number and all your posts.

OK, after a little more digging it looks like Parler will be a front for GOP PACs, fundraisers, so now the mandatory requirement to sign up with a phone number makes sense. I'll post about GAB shortly.

I've been off of most social media except for Instagram for over a week. I check in on Facebook only on my laptop, and then again, not every day. I'm thinking my life is a lot less stressful now that I'm not on Gab, MeWe, Parlor, Twitter, etc. I'm probably going to stay this way.

Fundraisers for what?
Parler announced it was coming back and then it didn't materialize

Similar here. I use to post a lot on my regular Facebook page..not so much anymore. I think I've posted twice since December.
