They make you give a cell phone number to register.
F that.
When they have their data breach you will be forced.
Doxxed gets changed to forced by my spell checker.
Seems like everywhere is asking for a number these days. That’s why I have a spare phone for BS like that .
I don’t like it either!
According to the Parler youtube channel, mobile users need to submit far more than just phone number
Here's their instructional video for Android Parler App.
Parler 101 - User verification (mobile app)

Phone number
Full frontal photo of valid drivers license
Full photo of back of licence
Take a video selfie of you blinking to verify you are real.
Take still selfie
Unless this is a very sophisticated spoof channel, this is far more info submitted than FR parler users have posted.
If this is not the case for verification submission, why has parler not deleted this video?
Comments please from verified mobile app FReepers....?
In addition the Android app page, the listing of required permissions, you have to search for it, has some unusual ones. Such as leaving the app running even when phone is off. There is tiny print at the bottom advising users that permissions can be turned off. But why is the ON the default condition?
That’s not true, at least for the web version. I don’t use the app. I’m on Parler and they only have an email address. Skipped the phone number question.
