Google just asked me to verify my account when I wanted to log into Youtube.
This has happened twice in the last weeks.

Why would they need my phone number? They are going to get their ass kicked here in Germany if they store this number and/or use it for marketing.
What happens if I am asked to verify my phone number with other Google accounts that I have?
