Why can I suddenly create seemingly endless Google accounts with VPN or even Orbot/TOR without putting down a number for verification...
Note that I use names and dates of birth that are obviously wrong/fake. I generate the name with a 2 part passphrase. The date is something like 01/02/1993. so actually obvious. For the gender I always choose "prefer not to say"
If this is important, I use a Pixel 7 Pro - on my Google Tablet (also GrapheneOS) this does not work. Strange...
