Claude Code sends your email address to websites

I had this happen once. Claude noticed and filed a bug report on itself. It was a useful lesson to never give Claude access to any data you need to keep confidential.

Unfortunately, Anthropic doesn't seem to offer a mode where it doesn't know who you are, except for its crippled "Incognito" web UI.

I hated Claude and their sus shit since a year ago, you can see in my comment history.

They don't even let you change your email.

They also don't let you remove your payment info.

Literally every other service/store in the multiverse lets you do that.

Then there's crap like https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/anthropic-spyware/

The guy who stole freenode uses the screenname "rasengan". I didn't notice the spelling difference at first either.
