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.
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.
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
