An optional phone number for account security. Again, it's not mandatory so we'll skip it. In a real use case, we would use the second phone line instead of our main line like we did with the robot test.

A "robot" test. We have a secondary phone line for this type of situation so not a huge deal, but, if you want to keep your actual phone number off the internet this is where things normally start costing more money and become increasingly annoying.

This privacy test involves on of the most ubiquitous email services available, Gmail. We'll continue to use the TOR Browser for optimal protection so lets get started. To start we need a first and last name. Pretty standard fare

Ok, lets see what they're asking for...Oh, a little game to see if i'm a bot? Seems benign enough.

So for this second test I went a little harder and used a TOR browser. I'll go back and see if the results are the same using a VPN like I did with the first experiment, but lets dive right in. After filling in a name, email, and birthday everything looks normal. Then...
