Recently Google has changed the privacy policy under the pretext of merging your accounts to one account, then you are requested to provide your phone number otherwise you cannot sign up, and consequently you will not be granted a private account on Gmail, Youtube, Blog etc...Facebook is also using this policy but not yet in a flagrant way.
Why Google insists to know your phone? The answer is very obvious, they link your accounts to your mobile phone just to track you. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is building a database about the internet users and they want to identify you in person and not just your IP address. Once the user gives his mobile phone then he becomes on track even after he destroys the cellular phone and the SIM card. The track records of messages and data calls will remain archived for years and the mobile operators are delivering them to the intelligence in each country. Google and Facebook also will deliver all accounts to the CIA with the phone numbers,then you are identified with the phone brand name, type and IMEI number. If for example, a google user has used a British cellular number to confirm his account, then the CIA will contact the MI6 to have the owner name of the cell phone and then you are easily identified. The danger of this method is that the CIA can fabricate an indictment to accuse you for something you didn't do on the internet. An example of telephone tracks has been announced by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon when the so called Hizbullah has been accused to assassinate Rafic Hariri in 2005. Then, to evade this indictment, the military intelligence in Lebanon has used a French cellular phone for a Taxi company to fabricate a spying story for a telecom engineer known by Tarek Rabaa to decredibilze the Call Data Registry. So be careful when providing your phone call to Facebook and Google because you might end in JAIL.
