Identification by phone number for messengers?

Question

User identification

Hello. Now all messengers are required to identify their users by phone number. And anonymous chats are prohibited, as written in the law.

If you try to search for "anonymous chat" in a search engine, some chats do not require registration at all. Are these chats not as popular as telegram or other messengers and therefore they are not looked at?

I want to make a chat for a narrow topic, gain experience in chat development and have someone use it. And at the same time not to face fines, etc.

Registering with a phone number will repel users. If I make authorization through the social. network, then this will bypass the requirement of a mobile phone, since for registration in the social. network requires a phone? And the user does not have to provide a phone number.

1. Identification by phone number is needed only for users from Russia?
2. For other users, can I use regular registration by email?
3. Is it necessary to register such an application in the Roskomnadzor registry?

Answer 1

Dude, a long time ago there were already "disposable numbers" specifically for registering on such sites - almost everywhere - from gmyl to vkontakte. They are usually paid. Therefore, even using an American number does not at all guarantee that I live in the USA :)
And besides, how can you be so sure that this chat is not hosted by those who enforce laws? :)

Answer 2

You are required to make identification, but you can conclude an agreement with a social network or messenger to provide you with identification services. It seems like everything is fine then.
