because im very much a privacy advocate. google wants my telephone num to open any new account. which i refuse to do. google, fake book, all the big tech companies, etc. are compiling huge data base profiles of EVERYBODY world wide. your telephone num, the license plate of your car, your passport num, your id num., etc., are a source of tracking info. just by putting your telephone num into a data base search option will return a wealth of info. they are all inter connected. then big tech gives that info over to any government who ask for it, with or without a search warrant. big tech helps the governments in getting info that they cant obtain legally or illegally.
i need google email addys for other reasons. on some web sites, you can only do certain things if you have a google gmal account. ive stated the reasons above why i refuse to open a gmail account using my real info. i can run rings around some of the tracking devices on the net, anti detect browsers are great, the tor is wonderful but limited, proxy servers are also great but also limited in hiding your info, plus some other reasons.
its gotten to point that people like me who are privacy oriented & live protecting out identity are called criminals. because they use the argument, that if we hide our private info, we must be doing something illegal. what everybody has forgotten is that everybody has a right to privacy. just like we are innocent till proven guilty, which also has disappeared. war is peace, privacy is for criminals, cryptos are only used for illegal purposes, only white people are racists, etc., its all double speak.
