- Your IP address should always be private even if it is good with IP bans. But IP bans do not fix the issue if it is not a static IP address that the users always has.
- Exactly :)
- Yepp! But they do log it anyway. So the question is why do the log this data? To build a better service? Might be, yes, but it would be much better if they let their users to choose if they want to share this information. Not log it automatically behind their backs (many do not read privacy policies).
- I understand that, but they should not force users to enter their phone number. They should instead come up with another solution like require more CAPTCHA's. Phone numbers is "the best" solution, but should not be standard.
