Topic: Why does Google want my fucking phone number?
Anonymous A started this discussion 13 years ago #25,136
I can't login to YouTube anymore, I get this message every time. I could just enter my phone number and unblock the account from this stupid bullshit, but I will never do that because my phone number is none of Google's fucking business. Why do they want to permanently store my number on their servers? Why do they think it is OK to blackmail me and demand private information?Does anyone know of a free phone call forwarder? Or some other way to bypass this retardation without giving my phone number to Google?

If it's showing you that doesn't it mean they already have your number, i.e. it's one of the recovery options you've set?

No, they don't already have my number. Apparently some cunt reported the account, when I visit my channel it says "This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines". Maybe they just want my number so they can block it from registering new accounts - no idea.

What does clicking on "learn more about your support options" do? Maybe they'll let you verify some other way.

Come on, don't patronize me. You think that wasn't the first thing I clicked? It's a fucking FAQ.

Okay, but I was asking more out of my own curiosity.
Use http://receive-sms-online.com They have numbers that let you receive texts. The text would be public but nobody will be able to do anything with just the code.

Hmmm. That would be good but every number I've tried returns the error "This phone number has already been used too many times for verification"...

So which one of you will help good old to4str out and merely receive a text message on my behalf?! There must be someone who will do it, seeing as I am such a kind and generous person. Help me.

We all do. That's why we wear clothes and hang curtains.

I don't know what that is supposed to mean but I would be rather you refrained from posting another reply in this thread.

When asked what was worn under his kilt, Jock replied, "Nothings worn, it's as good as it always was".

Tried but it still says "This phone number has already been used too many times for verification". Guess you used it already.

This is a new SIM card. Does that come up if you put in any random phone number?

Hm, yes it does. This must be some kind of stealth banning feature. Really, pointless. And now I lose the 300+ channels I was subscribed to because one dickhead reported me. YouTube really is a piece of shit.

Because they are idiots ruining YouTube. It did this for me, too. All had to do is simply leave it blank and click continue.

Oh, well that sucks. Maybe you could contact them and try to sort it out.
I never received any code or anything btw.
