Nothing of the sort is mentioned in my comment though.
But FTFY…
everything on the internet that demands your true identity leaks the data.
If its available online somewhere, its only a matter of time before it leaks, true identity or not. If it has potential value, it is a potential target. This is the risk when dealing with anything online. For the record, I also steer clear of free trials that require CC info, for that exact reason. I was just pointing out that it also serves an actual function and purpose in this case and isn’t purely data hoarding.

I’m not disagreeing with you, just pointing out the inevitable consequence of this reasoning.
