Admittedly, it’s not that hard to create a throwaway alias. I just don’t want to do that right now 🙃

        That little purple button in the email field is a built in tool in FireFox for a throwaway email. They give you something like 2-3 free throwaway email addresses.

          I know, thats firefox relay. But what i’m saying is that maybe when you give email you have to nake a password and then maybe it also ask to verify email with an OTP… We don’t know if that is the case instead of a single click

    Walmart did this with their wifi recently, you have to enter an email to get access. Of course it makes sense that mobile data doesn’t really work inside a giant steel warehouse, but I can’t seem to recall not having any mobile data signal at all until my last walmart visit.

    I used to keep to myself and look up the location of the item I was looking for online. If they want me to bother a floor person for it though, doing that is highly preferable to giving walmart my email to sell along with any information they can extrapolate from my usage of their network.

      Most temporary email sites are now blacklisted from account creation. I think that Stop Forum Spam is one of the services taht aggregates ‘bad’ email service providers and checks new sign ups against their lists.
