Google Sucks!!- Please sign petition

Please sign this petition. Apparently, Google has decided that you MUST share your mobile phone numbr in order to have your account verified. Now this is legit, but I think it's wrong! You can't verify by email anymore. I already have an account with Google, but if I hadn't and were to sign up for an account, I would not give my mobile phone number. Some people don't have mobile phones or like me, won't give out there numbers. Alyssa and tried to sign, but it's being wonky. It might work for you though. We'll sign it tomorrow. Please, please sign this. It would mean a lot to me and my friend.

I agree entirely Kyle.
I've signed it.

My mobile phone went in the rubbish ages ago.

wanted to sign it and was going to do it with facebook account: then I need to give consent to this application to:
send email to me, to publish elements on my notice board (photos, video, notes), and get my datas every moment

So it seems the remedy is worst than the evil...

Huh!

Never had a mobile; don't want one. They give you brain tumours, you know...

I noticed that too Bruno, so I just used the email option instead.

It is bloody ridiculous, though. Not everyone in the universe has a bloody mobile phone. :roll:

Today I did sign by email as well.
They wanted the Zip code so I wonder if my vote counts or if this thing is just for USA citizens ??

I put in my Australian postcode, a 4 digit number, and it seemed quite happy to accept my vote. So who knows. :roll:
