Clown World newsletter sold my email address (and yours too if you're subscribed to it) to some random group.
That's pretty shitty in my book

Oh man, that's not cool at all. But alas, in today's digital world where corporate greed runs rampant, it seems like our personal data is being sold left and right without our knowledge or consent. That picture you shared sums it up well - 'Data Privacy: You Know How We Used To Ask The Government for Permissions and Now It’s Facebook?' Here's hoping that someday we won't need to worry about such things and could relax in a world free of unnecessary privacy concerns!
What's their website?
Would be a shame if a few devs figured out how to bomb their newsletter with fake emails that they would have to pay for deliver their next newsletter
Ben (the founder/writer) is a smart, solid guy. He made big contributions to Specter wallet before starting CW, for example.
I saw this and cocked my head, too, when I read it. But I want him to win, so I’m rolling with it for a while.
Yeah, I wondered wether to mention him by name and decided against it;
This is not the way, at all, and I don’t think it should be tolerated.
If I acted out of line I would like to know about it.
That's why I use only one time mails that redirect to my my actual mail. That way I have a extra mail for every service an can disable single address if they get compromised.
What do you use to create and manage all those emails
I use the „Hide my mail“ service from iCloud because im a heavy mac and iPhone user.
But there are other services out there like firefox relay fir example.
I know that these solutions are not the best when it comes to privacy because you have to trust someone.
Probably figured they'd black-pilled sunscribers enough to not be surprised.
Simple Login extension fixes this for now (until something better happens) 🤞
Yup! Well said🚩
Simply publishing a recommendation and a disclosure about any kickback would have been the smart thing to do IMHO.
Shame because 🤡🌏 is killing it.
