Companies and governments will always undermine privacy either by incompetence or because it's good for business. In every case the only party that benefits from more privacy is really the end user. So what can we as users do about this? Is there an email service that can generate unique alias addresses? just.for.bloated.govt.dept.123@xyz.com would really help but I'm guessing the big companies like Google and Microsoft have no interest in privacy.

Fastmail has a 1Password integration that automates this and lets you use @fastmail.com as the domain, but using a wildcard with any provider isn’t much more difficult.

Addy.io, (https://addy.io/ https://addy.io/), free/paid, is a newer offering with some nifty features like automatic PGP encryption.
