Can't apply for jobs without agreeing to privacy policy, agreeing to spam calls and emails. How do we fix this?

a month ago by ScoffingLizard to c/privacy

I've heard of people getting VOIP numbers but not sure how this works.

I tried to get an extra number to forward, but those sites ask you to agree to the same privacy violations. I'm so pissed.

What can we do to recieve phone calls for jobs without signing up for endless spam?

When it comes to email I think you should consider what the biggest downside is. Big Tech invading your privacy or you standing out in a data breach because you use a privacy focused email and MAYBE looking suspicious to your employer because you use a weird email.

I'd argue they are worth less to advertise to, since they are so privacy focussed. What's to gain from an advertiser's standpoint?

I don't think form a data broker perspective. More that a malicious person may find you more interesting.
