I have taken a bit of a break from the site (just been busy) only to come back and find that every time I try to place pixels, the site requests a phone number verification. I thought unwarranted verification requests were supposed to be patched in one of the most recent updates. I have spoken to a Moderator about this in the past and assumed that the issue was resolved, but now I am once again stuck. I know others who have run into the same verification situation, so I am wondering if it is now mandatory. I shall not, under any circumstances, be giving my phone number to the website. I know the site claims to not store it, but I have no way of verifying that. If there are alternative ways to verify my account (through email or something) I would like to. I am disappointed that I have essentially been shadow-banned until I verify, but I refuse to sacrifice the security of my personal data.
