If you want to set up a new YouTube account, or even log in to your already existing YouTube account, you are now asked to provide a GoogleMail address and link it.
If you try to set up a new Googlemail account, you are asked for your phone number "in order to verify you are a human not a robot". You will then receive a text or automated voice call with details of how to verify your Google account.
In other words, to access your already established YouTube log in, you now have to provide a telephone number.
Anyone think this is a sinister and unwelcome new process?
