As Mirimir, for example. Who has no address, or mobile number, that he
cares to share. Addresses are easy to fake. And virtual mobile numbers
still work with Google for text authentication, I think. But Facebook
and Twitter don't accept them. Maybe burners, or SIMs bought with cash,
work. But then, there's the risk of geolocation through cell networks.
That's not acceptable.
