Google Account Verifying... ??

[Luke]

Why do they need to text you a verification code? What do they need the phone number for?
I just made a youtube account and I had to give Google my cellphone number in order to make an account... The fuck?

It's Google's latest feature, Google Stalk%u2122

Because bots are getting smarter when they try to sign up on webpages just to make advertisement of other webpages...

It's like this everywhere now. Your information is pretty much everywhere because it's required to do anything.

I don't trust Youtube. At some point it's going to end up conning everyone, so good job I made an account two years ago.

It asked for my name, date of birth, adress, telephone number and what I did yesterday and my plans for tomorrow!! D:

[Rockyusa]

I got onto google before that.

Google is seriously stalking everyone, when I signed up for Youtube it asked me where I like to hang out around 9PM O.o

Highfive! I made an account 5 years ago and i laugh to everyone who says that logging on google is a pain in the ass.

I had an account before, none of you guys are special for making one years ago. I did too, but I lost it. Fuck Google though, they can suck my shit.
