Fascebook, enough already! Options

OK, so I have a fake Facebook account, solely because that's the only way I can follow the development of a product I'm interested in. When I went there to look for news I was met by this (translated to English). It's not optional! I don't get in if I don't give them my phone number. Dream on...


When you add your number here, Facebook can use it to help you log in, protect our community, correctly calculate how many people use our services and help you access Facebook and selected applications, but not for other purposes such as suggest friends or show ads. Only you can see the number in your profile. If this number is listed in any of Facebook's products, it may be used for other purposes including suggesting friends and displaying ads.

When will it stop?
