    Ah, very interesting. I never even thought about it that way. So maybe the author wasn't trying to be misleading, but just chose their words poorly.

    The "they" could be AirBnB employees, but it was probably a reference to hackers breaking in and copying those files from AirBnB servers. The fewer servers that have a scanned copy…

    I provided the single digit "1" and they accepted it right away. If they don't care if you provide a valid phone number I don't see why it should be a required field.
