If you use the same e-mail address to sign up for both sites, they can already determine this. The only way to get the anonymity you want is to create new throwaway accounts for each service. (I realize GMail lets you do things like + aliases, but these should be stripped when trying to match up users across databases.)
- earl 14y agoOr run your own mailserver and hand out email addresses like servicename @ [yourmailserver].com Everything gets forwarded to the same inbox. tuffmail.com is awesome and cheap; I'm a happy subscriber.
- zpk 14y agoSo let them, let them have to do that work and share email addresses, which would potentially be a PR nightmare if discovered, and users did not consent. I'd rather do that than willingly give multiple domains my ID letting one service unify them, and share my ID across multiple sits if the service chooses to. And who's to say people don't already use multiple email addresses?
