I gave up on it when it asked for a phone number. I’m not giving any personal information.

I’d like to see the Federation of Dyslexic Internet Users sue the makers of Captchas for discrimination against the handicapped.

You don't have to give them a phone#. When creating an account you're asked for a phone# or an email address.

Pretty standard for account signups. A phone number prevents 100s of garbage accounts being setup by one person or a bot as you can’t create more than one account for a given phone number. the phone number also is used for verification that *you* are the real person setting up the account as an activation code is messaged to the phone number you provide. This prevents someone from impersonating you.

Huh? Who says you have to use your REAL number?? Lots of alternate throw away numbers to get from.

If you can make multiple email accounts, then you can easily get alternate phone umbers from Google phone, textnow etc. I’ve used those WORKING alternate numbers multiple times.

sheeshh

Your phone number is 555-1212. Everybody knows that!

Ditto. Give them my phone number?!! Are they nuts over there? Why would they WANT my phone number just to be able to post on their site (yeah, yeah, I know...selling info to marketing groups.) Pass. I can live without them.
