How do they force you to do anything?

Answer 3

It still does not force you to talk to them. You can block them, and you can report it as soliciting personal information. People can be suspended for using their number to try and get yours. You can point out where it covers this in the rules.

Answer 10

Under settings:
Notification Settings
Allow these people to message me:
People I am a fan of.


And where it is covered in the rules;

In addition, you agree not to use the Service or the Site to:

So people using their number to get yours break that part because they are trying to use their number to get your number for unsolicited communications.
