      I never said it was a good solution. There is no way to trust any validation that a user on the Internet is a person. But this way is cheap easy and most people aren’t gonna go through the effort of masking their identities.

      Also one discrepancy in an audit of a phone number trusted user base sticks out enough for cops to make some progress.
