How do you feel about sites like Facebook, Amazon, IMDB, etc., etc, wanting some kind of phone or credit card number for verification purposes. Do you resist or comply?

If I'm not buying something they don't need my credit card.

I've never been asked for either by facebook. In fact they sometimes want me to give permissions for certain apps but I always cancel them out - keep it simple as just a place to post forum topics/announcements or PM.

Of the examples I've only used Amazon and IMDb and I only needed the credit card for Amazon to buy something. I reckon anyone else can piss up a rope.

I was glad to have had an IMDb acct before they started the verification. No, I won't give out any numbers unless I am placing an order.

Well Amazon wants your credit card for purchases I never had them ask me for verification. Yes I would resist giving out anything to Facebook, IMDB etc.

I am grandfathered in at IMDB , if I should end up banned that would be the end of it, because I am not giving anyone (other than a couple of places I shop at)my credit card number. Phone number, sure I can always change that.
