I don't even know what this has to do with the homeless. I don't want ANY of my internet accounts to depend on my phone (which I can lose, and I just don't want it to be a big deal) or, worst of all on "my" phone number, which IS NOT, never was and never will be controlled by me — but by my cellphone operator. Who isn't my friend. Both problems seem to be so obvious, that I don't see how pointing out (also rather obvious thing) — that life out there on the streets is a bit different than in your [home-sized] cubicles — can help.
And since it's always more productive to assume malice, not stupidity — obviously, this is the point. Somebody wants you to depend on your phone number, something you don't really control and cannot easily change. This isn't about comfort and security, it never was. What else is new.
But, I mean, if I have to pretend that it's not about me, but about homeless people for something to be changed — I guess I'm homeless' rights supporter #1 from now on.
