It’s not a problem for email since they never intend to send an email to the normalized address. All they want to use it for is to connect two separate identities. The worst case from their perspective is that two actually unrelated people share one advertising profile - I’d think they consider that an acceptable loss.
- yellowapple 4y ago> The worst case from their perspective is that two actually unrelated people share one advertising profile Meaning that I get spammed with AARP ads everywhere I go because my email address gets "normalized" to be the same as Grandpa George... and we both get spammed with Bad Dragon ads everywhere we go because both our email addresses get "normalized" to be the same as Dildo Daddy Dave. Fuck that and the horse it rode in on. Targeted advertising is a blight on society.
