FTC fines Twitter $150M for using 2FA phone numbers for ad targeting
This is an interesting part to me: "[T]he new order[0] adds more provisions to protect consumers in the future: ... Twitter must provide multi-factor authentication options that don’t require people to provide a phone number."<p>I would like to see this be a more broad-based rule.  No, I am not moved by "SMS is easy" or "getting a number that can receive SMS is harder for scammers to do in bulk."  If you must, give users the choice but not the <i>obligation</i> to hand over a mobile number.<p>0 - <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/2023062-twitter-inc-us-v" rel="nofollow">https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/2...</a>
