Dr. Amy, Psy.D.The “free” WiFi at the mall won’t let me connect unless I give them my:
- email
- home address
- phone number
- full name
- date of birth
- gender
- annual household income
This isn’t feeling so free to me…
syn@dramypsyd here's the thing
they're not gonna check (except maybe the email but you should have a separate one for this sort of thing)

@syn @dramypsyd I've never had "Free WiFi" try to confirm my email as they usually can't let you check your email to confirm without giving you full internet access. As a result, I often just shove in a bunch of jibberish with an @ and .arpa tld (so it will never actually do anything) and it usually Just Works
(pro tip: do this online too for certain things, if it sounds like marketing email collection bogus, it will almost certainly work)
