Requires a phone number to sign up. No thanks.

Just 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.

It requires personally identifying information to login. That's a hard pass for menu people.
-
What about non-menu people
-
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 only used as a one time account verification thing, not a 2fa second factor. Still not great but at least not a security flaw.

What I've long been curious about is whether the service provider can derive a subscriber identity using the number. I mean of course the mobile network operator knows I'm me, but does Bluesky? Or is it merely a valid mobile number to them?
-
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...
