Why does Google want my phone number?

So they can send you advertising crap in the mail.

(and call you up at 2 o'clock in the morning wanting to know if you want to come down to the store for a sex party)

They already have your phone number.

They just want to see if you are in the camp that will divulge it or not.

Why?

So they can keep tabs on your Goyim ass.

You have an option when asked for your phone number on youtube.
That option is"not now" or something like that.
Then you click continue.

Lol...I did that yesterday. It would appear I share a name with a semi-famous person (in a VERY particular circle of scientists), so I gave up after page 30 and no results with my name or info :)

Google working against itself!

maybe they have a job offer its one of the best places to work in world.those people are treated like royalty.

i wouldnt bother googling my name ,if it was joe smith. ha,ha, giggle giggle.

AJ site made a good point

It's blackmail. A lot of people's business depends upon using YouTube

Everybody wants your phone number.

FU Google

Also, I am sick of my own banking site deciding it needs
"3 little questions answered" like what were your high school colors"?

I know WHY they SAY they want it, I DON'T LIKE IT.

Sometimes the zip is required to process the credit card. But, most times it is just for marketing data. I don't mind giving that out as there are thousands of other people who share the same number. As to phone number, I always use a previous phone number, not my current one. When places ask you to put a driver's license number on your check (yes, I still write checks for some things), I always use the number from my first driver's license. For some reason I remember it, but can't remember my current one and am too lazy to dig to find it in my purse.

because they love you, and want you to be happy.

Here in China, if you want to use Wifi at Starsucks then you have to give your mobile nr and they send the logincode to you.

That freaks me out because it seems they are logging what i receive and send and connecting it to my cellnr.

I mean, what is the fucking point of requiring my mobile nr to surf the net? I am boycotting those bastards just because of this. I want my privacy back damnit...

just to confirm that the one they have is right...

i protect my cell number like mad

your number is your Marker (or Mark..)

I don't even have a cell phone, nor do I need one, so I have no number to give.

This is an intelligent person, and most of us have fallen for it. If you say you haven't then you're a liar. People are so easy when it comes to something free. The fact is we have all been takne in by this evil. Now Google is buying ATT mobile, does that make it more clear??? BAhh Sheeple!

Soon you will get a okcout page unless you give them your phone number
thats what happend to me, they said we have closed your account because of unusual activity on your account please give alternative email or a cell phone number so you can reactiviate it.
They closed down my blog also at the same time.

THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO! But the thing is, I can't ignore it. I try and try and try to open my Gmail, but it keeps popping up, saying I need to change from 'Live' account to 'Gmail', and I was like "okay.." and I filled it in, and then they asked for my phone number, and I don't have one! Only home phone, So I can't access my own Emails because the motherfuckers wanna call me up?
