....with a new phone number....

That's crazy.

Imagine cheering for the company that will block the criminal prosecutors investigating war crimes and genocide from having the ID at all(1) once the supporter of the investigated sanctions the law-abiding persons: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/impo...

But anyway - why the requirement in the first place?

(1) because sanctioned person must not be allowed to create another account.
