Oh no, won't someone think of the email addresses?!

Guys. IP addresses, and email addresses...aren't really private things.

Sure, but your registration of it with a website is generally expected to be.

Not everyone throws their E-Mail at every Text field they see.

Funny because of the "not a paywall" on the article which the intent is to force the user into providing their email address to read the entire article.

The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:

  • endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us

  • load dodgy third party sites libraries

  • insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance

So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.

Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.

Idk, being that "that's so they can sell your email," I'm inclined to argue that it is a paywall, the currency is just "email" not "USD."
