The best way to fight the fingerprinting is for us to all use the same throwaway email address.
I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov for shit like this.
I use legal@[website.com]
I figure if they're going to send spam, the legal department should be aware.
privacy@[website] is probably an even better route, since I've seen it commonly used for the actual data privacy officer / department / etc.
I use no@no.com
I’ve always been partial to fuck@you.com
.com would be better 😏
That is a "Free election betting site" now. It used to be a porn site in the early 2000s.
The problem is that all the places that ask for email verify it. So it has to be something you can check.
Even Lemmy.world wants a real email and if you use a disposable email provider they say they'll kill your account when they eventually double check.
