Yes, with these newly moved goalposts, I agree, and I mentioned it earlier today: Coinbase is giving your ID not just to people you've interacted with (which makes sense) but to people who have expressed the vaguest desire to interact with you (might might not make sense). But in the comment I was replying to was pointing out that Netflix never gives your ID to anybody, which is not a fair comparison because Netflix is in an entirely different business. Netflix customers never interact with each other. Coinbase users do interact, and identity is usually essential for interaction.

That's not moving goalposts. Amazon does not give out my information to unregistered 3rd parties who I haven't made a transaction with. Seems Coinbase does. I chose Netflix simply because they were a large internet company. I think the idea that Coinbase is involved in transactions is a red herring here since they're giving the information out before the transactions are agreed upon by both parties. If I proposed a Coinbase transaction with someone, I would fully expect that the other party would be told my name and possibly even my email.
