I was going to sign up for Parler until I saw they wanted my phone number. Nope. Fuck that in its ear. It's bad enough that Google has that info and ties it to my account, or that various other corporate entities use it to send me 2FA prompts and text messages for security access. As much as I hate Facebook, I'm not jumping onto the ship of a company that is potentially even more draconian while claiming to be for free speech.
