I'm also curious why SR want this number.
I can see the need for a passport number or driver's license number for
identification purposes (even though it is pretty useless without
verification). But AFAIK a social security has nothing to do with 'telling
who you are'.
(I must admit that I do not know too much about social security numbers in
the US. In the country I live in, it is even illegal for businesses to ask
for a social security number.)

I was able to submit a test application without SSN, claiming to live in
Antigua and Barbados. (note to SR: feel free to delete account 120861)

SR never claimed to be part of the freedom movement. In fact, they made a
clear business decision not to be part of it. If you don't like that: don't
do business with them. Time will tell if more people feel like you.
