    Its just a nuisance, I can sign up for tons of free email. What does this really accomplish?

      The move is anti privacy. I bet they will only accept kyc emails. Like Google and Microsoft, which nowadays demand proof of ID in surreptitious ways. I have met already several big tech services that refuse emails from alternative providers.

      How? Every email now requires a phone number, which I don’t want linked. Every account someone who isn’t me makes gets immediately frozen because they are on some dubious blacklist.

      Where is this “free email” you are talking about.
