I noted that Google asks for mobile phone numbers lately as a security
measure. I am a great fan of Google but I am beginning to resent these
intrusive ways a securising. I am thankful that it is not a compulsory
option yet. Am I the only one to feel uneasy about this ? As they say if
you do nothing wrong you have nothing to fear but we know that in practice
it does not work like that. I am not especially "parano" otherwise I would
not have a world wide profile on the WWW but there are some things that one
likes to keep private , at least to some extent, such as a phone number.
What do you think?
