MODERATORS
I have a pseudo domain that has none of my info on it.
It's something along the lines of "thisisspam.com" that forwards to my personal email accounts.
The point is, since I and not the service control my addresses I can take them anywhere.
Problem is that this domain (whether it includes your real name or not) is still related to your person as you are the sole user.
If you created accounts at Google, Amazon and Facebook using a schema of
servicename@thisspam.com, don't you think they'd be able to tell it's the same person who created those accounts?With the likes of
google.quothfaaoa@aliassingservice.com,amazon.qwrlaklfas9@aliassingservice.comandfacebook.1afglasdah@aliassingservice.com, that identification vector is simply ruled out.This is going to be controversial, but if I was a user of these three scummy sites what you say above isn't the hill I'm willing to die on or care about.
However I have half a dozen domains, I could quite easily add one or two more for dumb shit like this if I wanted to.
