Today I realized that is possible login on twitter with a temp mail through VPN in a complete anonymous way. I think it's a very good thing. I don't understand why here a lot of people criticize Elon Musk. I think that now it's a platform more open to debates, it's almost free speech. No other popular big tech platform allow anonymous login.

You can make accounts with temporary emails through VPN on any website. This isn't something unique to, or even new to Twitter.

It's not true several years ago was not possible without phone number verification

If it did, it didn't enforce uniqueness (I know this because I've had multiple accounts and only one phone), so you could just as easily use a temporary phone number.

Did you use a privacy friendly phone number? Many services like OpenAI's chatGPT will not allowing registering with a phone number which is not from a known network provider, quite invasive.
