How it comes that whenever I create an account on Twitter, they ban me and the only way to unlock the account is through entering a valid phone number?

• Do Twitter sell the given phone number?
• Does Twitter actually keep it kept hidden and safe?

Has this happened to you or anyone familiar?

Phone verification is ancient old on social media sites. As we progress in time, the verification becomes stricter and stricter and these days often the only way is via phone. Shouldn't be too big of a surprise.

Phone verification has become a process now-a-days with almost all the social media platforms, we cannot confirm from anywhere whether they sell these to someone or not. We are actually bound to give them as we don't have any other option to use their service.

After the last elections fake news BS Twitter changed their system.

It's no longer triggered randomly, now all signups are PVA.
