I signed up for GD with a semi-throwaway email account - not an actual throwaway, but it’s not tied to my real identity, not used for anything but spammy sites where I didn’t want to give them my info. Every site got a made up name.
Wonder what name they’ll slap on the account when they try to farm “my” data from a broker.
I lie shamelessly to companies when signing up these days. They get fake DoBs, names, aliased emails, fake addresses, phones, the lot. Let them out that data on my profile without consent, hopefully they aren’t going to expend resources to penetrate that veil.
They dont even have to pay to expend resources. People will buy that shit, sort through it, then sell it to turn a profit. The advertising industry is a cancer to the human race.
Interesting.

Morgan Freeman voiceover…
They did.
If you then keep a log of who you told what, it’ll be easier to keep track of which companies distributed “your” info.
I use keepass, it’s worked great for years. No way I could remember passwords anyway without it.
Butts McGee strikes again
Killroy WasHere
I guess that cinches it. If I ever want to sign up for an adult site, they’re going to know me as “Seymour Butts.”
