Who the hell uses their real name and e-mail to open accounts in sites like PornHub?
EDIT: I enjoy porn and so does my wife. Neither one of us is shy about it, but neither of us would use our real info to open an account. Who the hell wants infinite floods of adult product email spam?
But according to governments around the world, we should use our IDs in order to access this kind of material. And this is exactly why it's a fucking terrible idea.
Creators
Ooof! You are absolutely right. Hopefully they use dedicated e-mail and contact information for their business.
