Moreover, The Huffington Post requires a Facebook account to be verified. This requires giving Facebook either a current, unique mobile phone number. Some people don't have their own mobile phone number, such as people who use a land line or people who share a phone with other members of the household. How does The Huffington Post reasonably expect people to buy a prepaid mobile phone and subscribe to a month of prepaid mobile phone service just to create a commenting account?
HP doesn't care. I did buy a pre-paid phone and used the number to "verify" my "HP face" facebook account. Why? because the phone was 1/2 the cost of the replacement phone from t-mobile and dropping your phone in a bowl of vinegar seems to make it "not work".
So to HP - Up Yours and I will STILL post anonymously!
