Sadly this recently caught me out. I'd been doing something similar, but it seems the tech giants REALLY hate not being able to snoop on what you're doing or find out exactly who you are, where you live, how often you have sex, or whatever. In the space of a couple of days I found that all my previously discreet ways to view content without being spied on were shut down. Most irritating one being Farcebook that suspended my account a week ago, an account I only use to access our local residents group, who restrict viewing to restrict abuse (which itself doesn't seem to be effective). As that group is the easiest way to access or GP's surgery this is a bit of a nuisance. All the more irritating as I've given my real details and email to them
