This is an interesting part to me: "[T]he new order[0] adds more provisions to protect consumers in the future: ... Twitter must provide multi-factor authentication options that don’t require people to provide a phone number."

I would like to see this be a more broad-based rule. No, I am not moved by "SMS is easy" or "getting a number that can receive SMS is harder for scammers to do in bulk." If you must, give users the choice but not the obligation to hand over a mobile number.
