    Would using these service be a risk if you lose access to such number?

      burner SMS. Burner dummy Google account strictly for age-restricted content. I don’t really see what’s to lose?

      Also, you can turn off 2FA, so the number is only “needed” if you forget your password and/or lose access to the backup e-mail.

        I see, notes.

        Wouldn’t Google tie the dummy account to your KYC’d account tho?

          I mean, finding ways around that is the whole point of Posts like this one?

          Personally, I use different browsers for different purposes on a rando Android phone(+vpn for torrents). I watch this community to try to stay abreast of current privacy/security issues, but I don’t make much effort to live it, as I’ll go dark long before I’ll really have anything to hide.

          Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go bitch at the librarians again, for disposing of the microfiche after they digitized it.
