Neodog with Glasses Plushie on Akkoma: "New way to get customer support just dropped", with a screenshot of Hackers News by qingcharles: "One big privacy issue is that there is no sane way to protect your contact details from being sold, regardless of what you do.  As soon as your cousin clicks "Yes, I would like to share the entire contents of my contacts with you" when they launch TikTok your name, phone number, email etc are all in the crowd.  And I buy this stuff. Every time I need customer service and I'm getting stonewalled I just go onto a marketplace, find an exec and buy their details for pennies and call them up on their cellphone. (this is usually successful, but can backfire badly -- CashApp terminated my account for this shenanigans)".

If you're blocked from getting service, torching your account is probably your own next step.

If they send you a cease and desist, you just use it for toilet paper and don't re-contact. Torch your own account.
