This bothered me as well, so I bought a completely unrelated domain to create a new trust ring. I'm sure you could link that domain back to me if you are buying information from a data aggregator, but at least that way I have the satisfaction of knowing people had to pay for the privilege ;)
> The one bit of leaked identity that really bugs me is my phone number. So many services require a phone number for text notifications and 2-factor auth and there's not good way (that I know of) to generate a random phone number that still works.
Ugh, yes. I had an old phone number that I moved to Twilio & set up SMS forwarding that used to work, but everyone seems to use phone verification APIs to block VOIP numbers.
