Slow Death of Internet Privacy

It seems like privacy on the internet is gone, what have you noticed?

For me I noticed email when was the last time you created an email account? did you know 2 of the largest email providers like gmail and hotmail now require phone verification to register an for an email account?

Some may wonder how exactly that kills privacy. How do you get a phone number? Usually you have to register for one, to do that you have to provide things like an address and sometimes require Federally issued ID. Now your able to be linked though this email and not to mention to get a cell phone one usually has a credit check.

Now anything time you use that email to register anything else it can easily be tracked back to you.

What shows you that privacy on the internet is dying?
