You can’t just ask that. Not without at least taking them out to a fancy dinner first. Maybe a little dancing.

Yes, it was a whoosh. I’m not gonna say it’s a funny bit, but they’ve said in previous comments that it’s a bit.

Guys they’re doing a bit.

I’m sure you don’t need telling, but just in case, I would check the meta data to see when the last time the file was edited. If it matches when they sent it to you, that’s the cause.

It might be something wrong with the camera or phone they used, but the format is solid.

It’s your imagination.

Hmm, maybe they should try Linux then. Solve both the codec and the OS problem.

Leaving aside that this one is Microsoft’s fault, how is it painful? Do you even have an iPhone? And if so, how often do you move images to your PC from it, without those images going through an intermediary service?

OK, let’s check then.

You can usually sign up anonymously without giving an email address or phone number, although we may require human verification in some cases.

I’ve signed up on Tor and the clearnet, and both times without providing an email address or phone number. Meaning if you keep running into that problem, it’s a sign that something you’re doing or have done is causing them to think you aren’t somebody that should be signing up without verification. Either way, the fact remains that most people aren’t having this issue.

That is your argument? “Time destroys all things”? Really?

Yeah, when you think about it, one day the sun will explode and all these email services that don’t require backup emails will shut down. You got me there, champ.

I just tried it on my phone literally thirty seconds ago, after reading your comment, without using Tor or a VPN. Verification was done with a captcha. No email required.

Only if you’re talking about torrents. Most visual media can be easily found on Usenet, and there’s no such thing as leeching.

The only thing I ever use torrents for anymore is books, because the mouse site is so good. Never have had problems finding TV shows or movies on Usenet.

They said any service gets shut down. I registered a ProtonMail account without email or phone number. Proton also does not cooperate with anyone but Swiss authorities. It is obviously still possible.

You can also register without one on cock.li, if you don’t mind them being edgy middle-aged teenagers.

You don’t have to have one, this is misinformation.

They don’t ask for one on signup. I just signed up recently while using Tor on Tails, and was not required to provide an email for any reason. The only thing that happens is you get a warning in the account panel saying you won’t be able to recover your account if you lose the recovery codes.

They provided it to Swiss authorities, with a notice that it happened to their customers. They do not have any requirement to share it with other governments.

They do not, I didn’t need either when I signed up recently.

It does not, this is misinformation. Do not believe this person, I recently did it on Tails while using Tor and did not need email or phone number.

It is possible, I just signed up for one recently while using Tails. I was not required to use either email or phone number. Stop spreading misinformation.
