Now Google is requiring users to verify new gmail accounts with a text message sent to a mobile phone. I can only assume that it will soon be prohibitively difficult to create fake email addresses to use to create other fake accounts. I fear that anonymity will likely die soon, whether we like it or not.
- peterwwillis 16y agoUm. You know Google is not the only free e-mail provider, right? Anonymity and privacy are like punk rock. People have been saying it's dead since its inception, but look around and you'll find it all over the place.
- buza 16y agoOf course. I'm just suggesting that once one provider starts doing it, others may likely follow.
