Yet another example of why US citizens would benefit from GDPR-equivalent privacy laws.

By understand how/where they collect the emails, wouldn’t it be possible for a coordinated group of people to poison their data so badly it makes this invasive bullshit unreliable?

Many reasons why email is flawed. Would be nice if the world switched to a better system, where both parties have to agree to connect, like any modern messaging system.

We identify anonymous website visitors, mainly for big Shopify stores.

Thanks, I hate it.

We can get an email address for that person, help you email and add them to your list safely.

I don't think this individual understands the meaning of the word "safely"

We partnered with publisher networks for the identity info, which we capture and transfer to our customers. We’re the middleman.

I love how surveillance capitalism has ensured that nobody in the surveillance pipeline is responsible for their own behavior. (Earlier they said they used tracking pixels on various sites before they switched to just Shopify, so I do hold this person responsible)

If the guy was serious about reputation appearance, he'd have bought retention.co.jp which requires:

• a Japan registered company
• have an established office
• have a permanent residency visa or G'd forbid, a Japanese partner.
• may have only one .co.jp domain
• it should be close to your company name

Anyone and their mother can own a .com domain name. Which is exactly what happened in this case.

What a cuck!

Bandholz: Where can listeners support you?

The fuck?!

I defend your right to make bots to automate your web experience.

This is a dual edged sword. If i can make bots have to accept everyone else can too.

We are in a privacy forum. I believe this guy would be called, "a cat".

It is the mouse's job to neutralize the effectiveness of the cat.

Bitching about it just makes you a bitch. It solves nothing. Is this is a problem that you're willing to spend months on? If not, but you bitch anyways, that says more about you than that guy's business or character.

Come on privacy peeps! How would you defend yourself against ^^ guy?
