I run into mandatory mobile phone number inputs in on-line forms from time to time. While I do have a cell phone now, I don't use it a lot and don't have the number memorized. If I enter my land line # or a fake #, they will still send texts to the number.

This is some SCS bullshit if I've ever seen it. Boycott any business you see aski9ng for this, straight up.
Maybe it's an intelligence test: if you supply them, you're too dumb for the job.
And the star indicating they are mandatory? What if i don't use that junk?
Someone should make rickroll versions of those accounts.
I can really only see this if you’re applying for a social media or influencer related position or if you have a portfolio of related work that would be published on those sites. Otherwise, even as far as most background checks go, it’s too invasive and very presumptuous.
So to get the job do I have to create these accounts?
I would just put “N/A” in each box. they probably won’t contact me anyway so whatever.
