Hey guys, I have almost developed the backend of an app like reddit. My question is about authentication. How should I authenticate my user. Is phone number necessary to add phone otp?Because I don't want to get any legal trouble if someone posts objectionable content on the platform. Most of the apps today need phone number, I dont know why except reducing spam accounts.

Or shall I verify email by otp. But its hard to track disposable emails. I cant go for only gmail too as its banned in china. Email domains of china are weird.

Can I get into legal trouble for objectionable content posted by any evil user?

I dont want to go for auth.

question

verification

social media

    Free for the first 50k mau. If you determine you can't afford it when you near that, put the time into implementing it yourself.

    @SortOfTested first 50k or every month 50k..i have implemented it. I want to know if its risky to just leave it on email verification as users can have disposable enails.

    Right. Still cheap. If you're not making $50 or funded after 1000mau, you prolly need to give up on it

    @Nanos I think he means objectionable as in illegal content, although for copy right I think it's enough to just remove it when asked

    Write an algorithm than removes everything you don't need on your service and send out a warning to the sender or block them until future notice
