I find that interesting, as there should be ways to only use email.
I'd say your IP or DNS is freaking them out. Sometimes when you have really good opsec on a browser, they can tell and will ask for weird shit like that.
I'd use a different browser, like maybe download Brave or Chromium or Librewolf (leave it out of the box) specifically for this stuff, assuming you use FireFox.
You can also download 3rd party clients for Facebook on Android, Insta is kinda a lost cause tho.
Edit: It's not on F-Droid, you gotta hop on Github, but there is a client for Discord known as Aliucord on Android.

I've never had this happen before so I didn't know. I just thought it was interesting how they're requiring this now though.
More of shock value of them announcing it and requiring an email now.
So more for privacy than security, so it would make sense to use a VPN depending on your threat model I suppose, or how much you care.
For me, it's more about consent, they really just did that, tf?
I'd talk to a counselor about it and explain how it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Shut up hivemind conformist
I'm interested in the day it hits the Linux Desktop, but being even on iOS is crazy imo.
