Because Christianforums actually works.

Be patient. I'm sure CF had some bugs on day one as well. Nothing complicated is perfected from the start. Think Windows OS, computers, the internet, and yes even websites. Heck, we're in the electronic age that makes ID theft so easy, and that's still a problem that hasn't been solved.

Thousands of phone numbers from easily gullible, trusting people is a treasure trove for hackers.

I didn't know thousands of phone numbers was such a treasure trove for hackers. I've got a whole book full of them, and can get other books that are full of them as well. Just between you and me, here's a website that will give you access to millions of phone numbers: White Pages - online and printed directory information
Happy "hacking"!

UPDATE:
"Mike Lindell announced that he will be doing a 48-hour straight live stream however he mentioned you can’t create a profile yet but he expects you to be able to soon."
Mike Lindell Speaks with Graham Ledger On His New Website Frank Speech in Today's Debut 'Amazon Can't Shut You Down' - Media Right News

I've been on the site for awhile and see the livestream they're doing. Occasionally they update people about the site rollout. They currently have over 26 million people registered.

Did you see him get pranked by someone posing as Trump calling in to the livestream?

These clowns can’t even screen their callers. How are they going to provide security against professional hackers?

It’s private information that I think most rational people would want to know is secure from unauthorized use. But if you feel it’s no big deal then don’t let me stop you from giving them your info.

The difference, of course, being that Christianforums didn't allegedly cost millions of dollars to set up. I don't know, call me crazy, but with that much money I expect quality. Or, at least, more than a video playing on a white page.

Is it that complicated? Nothing Lindell has said about it makes it sound all that complicated. Granted, he hasn't said much at all considering he's been talking for months about it, but still.

And nobody asks for perfection. But we expect something usable. Especially for a commercial product.

It's been a while since I looked a White Pages, but last I checked, you have to opt-in for it - I know my number isn't in there. Most people don't even know the White Pages are a thing anymore and they don't use landlines, so it's certainly out-of-date.

Regardless, yes, a hacker can do a lot with a phone number, more than you might think. Stuff like, say, sending you texts that infect your phone with malicious software if you click on the link, or using that number to make calls and trick people into thinking it's you.

Does Facebook, Twitter or Youtube screen anyone? I have accounts on all 3 that I didn't use my real name for. Don't see you worrying about those outfits.

Then it's actually not all those thousands of phone numbers you really are worried about?

Have you ever heard of random dialing? Call centers do it all the time.

Scammers mostly use lists of numbers that they purchase from hackers and other aggregators of such information. No need to dial randomly.

I know what it means to randomly dial a number, but I'm not sure what relevance that term means or what exactly you're referring to in this discussion. If you could explain what you mean and how it pertains to what I wrote, I'd appreciate it.

Also, in case you ask, yes, I did look the term up, but didn't come up with anything like what you seem to be referring to.

I’m talking about the live call ins he’s having on that livestream. Not the actual platform itself. I’ll find a video clip when I get the chance.

I’m not worried about any of this at all. If others see through this obvious grift, that’s on them.

If a person gets the shot, then their health suddenly declines and they find themselves on their dead-bed, what should they be reading?
Remember, every person who has gotten the shots and ended up dead thought they were getting something that would keep them well and allow them to return to normal.

If someone is dying for any reason, it is unlikely they will be reading anything. If they are still able to read/process information and perform basic tasks, they need to make sure they have their affairs in order IE will, critical information listed for their executor and they need to have a serious conversation with their excutor etc...... They need to spend as much with family and friends as possible.

Now the question is did the pillow man get taken to the cleaners by shady tech people who hold him they were going to produce a site that really could handle a billion users or were such outlandish claims of his own making?
