The solution if you and a service don’t see eye to eye with terms is to not have you use the service. Seems like Google made the decision for you.
Comment on Locked out - Google's absurd security measures won't log me in
sourcepie@lemmy.world 1 year agoI understand that Google already has my phone number. That’s not so much of a problem for me. I am trying to limit the amount of personal information that I hand out to websites & services. I believe that companies shouldn’t need my personal phone number to create, maintain or secure my account. If I need security, I’ll install 2FA TOPT. If not, that’s still my decision and I shouldn’t be forced. Especially in form of having to provide my phone number.

What you believe is irrelevant. You don't run the service.

Hire a security professional or keep trying or give up. I loathe google but this isn’t their fault.

You can believe whatever you like. The companies that disagree have no obligation to service you. Go find services that don't require phone numbers if this is important to you; they do exist.
