Tor & Email?

[Praedor Atrebates]

Interesting.  I have a fully anonymous email from gmail (about 1 yr old) that I created via tor and it required no call, no text message, nothing, just a captcha.  I have had several other accounts created at gmail previous to this, also created via tor, and have not had any issue or privacy/anonymity-violating issues.

Have they changed something very recently?
