yeah, i wont give my #
its fear mongering.
it says "most people get fewer than 3 alerts per year"
Are they saying that if i do not give a number they will not send an email if someone breaks into my account.
it appears they want the cell number for other reasons.

two-step auth is not a conspiracy. the idea is, only you have your fone#, and if google suspects malarky (i.e. login is from uzbekistan instead of the UK like usual) it can then fire off a message to your fone.
you can also get a secureID keyfob etc. to use instead of a fone, if you'd like. i do suppose they hit you up for your # without mentioning that -- OMG CONSPIRACY

though i do suppose it makes group accounts a lot more annoying if you have to bug someone to use their phone to log in. netflix has started doing this!!
netflix just wants us to sign up for additional accounts; google finds it easier to ad profile if it's one person per account.

why don't they email me to say there has been someone from uzbekistan
in my account, why should i give my phone Sceptic-of-mega-facts?
The image i posted did not say:
"hey don’t worry if you do not wish to relinquish your mobile phone number to us (and a few other companies we may pass the data onto, only in the interest of national security). We shall of course email you any security threats, although it may take a while for you to read an email compared to a txt message.
but Nooo. All they want is the mobile number. And even if you don't want to give it? The only option is "remind me later"
OMG conspiracy. wooooo!!

E-mail is enough. If they e-mail you after not letting someone login (which I've experienced with some sites after moving from Cairo to Tokyo), then you can confirm things through e-mail OR, they ALREADY HAVE SECURITY QUESTIONS. But what if someone hacks your e-mail and knows your whole life? Oooh, okay- then I guess lucky I had my cell on record. FUCK! But what if someone hacks my e-mail and steals my phone? Well, then I guess google needs my bank information and street address and mother's maiden name, IN ORDER TO USE A VIDEO SHARING SITE.
Right.
Just have awesome passwords like K98fdjjsK83ddmj8ei, and use unrelated answers for security questions. Mother's maiden name? Gargamelzaxon. Best friend from elementary school? Your Mother. Street and zip I lived on growing up? Ghey St. 90210.
This keeps the systems working for you, without actually having to use "real info". These sites never ever need to know anything about you personally. They are serving you, and you are serving them, by them being able to show ads. You don't thank them for their services by rebuilding your whole life in the Settings section.

i, too, live in fear of multiple improbable, catastrophic events befalling me simultaneously, in some sort of universe-imploding, rocked by a probability drive wake coincidence. because then, google will have been proven right.

Something's wrong with the world if you're not suggested DUBturbo vids. I go to McDonald's in Tokyo, and they're now asking if I want DUBturbo with my burger.

here's a more proper conspiracy !
large-scale assault based on open DNS servers, or so i read in the media.
DNS servers are what resolve (convert) "xltronic.com" from a human-readable name to a string of numbers that represent xlt's actual location on the internet. the yellow pages of the internet.
most people use DNS servers automatically specified by your ISP. however, some ISPs (verizon fios, for example) muck with the DNS to further certain agendas. i tried to show my parents how to use the pirate bay, only to find piratebay.se failed to resolve on their internet connection! further prodding revealed that verizon fios had simply sabotaged the DNS; caused piratebay.se to go to a dud address. you can type in the numbers manually, but that's annoying. so, i added a 3rd-party, open DNS server, which made it work again. hurrah!
however, if you send these servers a spoofed request (saying, for example, "i'm spamhaus and i want to know what the numbers are for xltronic.com") they will willingly comply, sending out gobs of data (hello spamhaus, here is the huge phonebook of info you asked for!) in exchange for a lightweight, spoofed request.
end result is some asshole using these open DNS servers to hammer an anti-spam service, which will likely result in thousands of open DNS servers closing. go back to your verizon DNS.... you are ~safe~ there

I doubt Google gives a flying fuck about your phone number--especially considering that your browsing/viewing history and demographic information is about a billion times more valuable to them.
