So basically Gmail broke internet email. Again.

  If Gmail sends emails for first.last@gmail.com to firstlast@gmail.com, then I would hope Gmail wouldn't allow another account to be made with f.irstlast@gmail.com or fi.rstla.st@gmail.com or any other permutation of the dots (or lack of).

    They don’t allow it. The user is at fault for validating their email address. Also Netflix gets partial responsibility for accepting email validation via a different browser session. Unfortunately it’s either that or have people constantly complain they can’t validate their emails from their phone yet browse on a different device. Middle ground may be IP address check so if you’re on the same WiFi it’ll work. Of course IPv6 kills that.
