I am interested in exploring Twitter API and tried to register and it says:<p><pre><code> There was a problem completing your request
User must have a verified phone number on file prior to submitting application.
</code></pre>
I think it is absolutely insane that Twitter want my mobile phone number for their API. I don't think other websites does this.<p>I am also a little disturbed that it asks:<p><pre><code> Will you make Twitter content or derived information available to a government entity or a government affiliated entity?
</code></pre>
Is there another way to register without giving a phone number? I am not from the USA and I was thinking about getting another phone number just for these things and keep my actual phone number separate.<p>Just out of curiosity, are there any other websites or services that does this like Twitter? Asking for a phone number and a government entity question?
To collect it of course for ads.<p>> Is there another way to register without giving a phone number? I am not from the USA and I was thinking about getting another phone number just for these things and keep my actual phone number separate.<p>No.
Is it possible to at least register new account without phone number? I have an old one without a phone but creating a new one without a phone seems to be impossible nowadays.
