This is false.  I just created a gmail account via tor without needing a
phone number or any other information.

Frequently, google's
anti-ddos/spam/too-many-creations-from-a-single-ip-address detector
is tripped for tor exit nodes and requires other information.  

We've generally suggested gmail because their bulk account creation
process was good.  It seems this is not the case any more.
