What I’ve long been curious about is whether the service provider can derive a subscriber identity to the number. I mean of course the telco knows I’m me, but does Bluesky? Or is it just a valid mobile to them?
Comment on Bluesky opens to public registration
MSids@lemmy.world 9 months agoJust curious, why is that a deal breaker? It seems like a mild form of anti spam protection, potential 2fa backup, and a way to uniquely identify users.

Unless the network operator or the ISP sells/gives your identifying data to Bluesky, that can’t happen. It should be super illegal ofc, but in the US anything can happen…

It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.

What about non-menu peopl3

They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.

Hopefully they won’t have to provide a phone number to the restaurant

It’s used as a one time account verification thing, not a 2fa second factor. Still not great but at least not a security flaw.
