      Before I deleted my accounts there, I remember twitter and facebook deactivated your account for “suspicious activity” if you did not provide a phone number when making it, and the only way to reactivate it was to give them your phone number.

      true. But I think that’s mostly to make bots harder to create. Not as easy to get a phone number than an email address
