I don't understand how this opt-in email tied service which you or your email provider has to implement is in any way preventing you from having disconnected identities online.
If you own a domain and your disconnected identities are all tied to the same domain (or email address) then you have exactly the same issue.
- knome 3y agothis leaks the identity through the services. you can't normally get an email address or verify who someone on twitter or whatever is unless the user specifically chooses to share it. you could use this to query the email server, and to crawl various services to match up identities across them. most users do not own their own domains, and this would have to be implemented on the major free email providers to be useful, offering up every user on them for casual identification via any service that displays their image
