Smart. Recommended. Twilio makes this very simple.


Assuming Twilio doesn't leak your data. It doesn't, right?


Even if Twilio did leak the fact that the author signed up to Facebook it is still a lot better than leaking every single merchant to where the user has been.


Not necessarily. Twilio leaking would mean all the identities you thought were separate are one JOIN away from being aggregated into one.

I am aware of this. I just don't understand what Twilio will gain from sending every single phone number you provision through them to Facebook or another advertising partner. It would actually pollute the data if they were to send these events from a high-volume customer that resells Twilio numbers to their own customers (who aren't doing business directly with Twilio and most likely aren't aware of it at all).


"Assuming Twilio doesn't leak your data. It doesn't, right?"

Twilio has no idea who I am. They have a corporate name and a corporate Visa card.


Hahaha
