- vmception 6y agoWhich is why you also dont tell the service your phone number or reuse an email address
- pruski 6y agoNew email per every service you want to use? It shouldn’t be this complicated
- vmception 6y agono. new email for the same service to make a new account, even after deleting your old account. a lot of people dont know how or why they get the same suggestions of people and dont want that.
- reaperducer 6y agoSign In With Apple does exactly this — generates a fake e-mail address for each account, so the data harvesters never get your real one.
- laurent92 6y agoI wonder if Google has a backdoor API which lets group people by backup email. If one always creates an account with the previous email as a backup, the link is east to make. That would be especially useful for censorship services across competitors: Although Google Facebook and Twitter compete, sharing the flagged accounts would allow recognizing the same user coming back with a different email address.
- vmception 6y agowho said anything about backup email but sure? probably if you just alternate between a backup email tied to an email you use everywhere
