       @thunderbird I was going to give you a donation (via PayPal), but sorry, not if I have to give you my full address. If I'm authenticated by PayPal, that should be sufficient - it is for literally ANY other company I use it for paying.And while we are at it: I don't want to "One-time setup, faster checkouts." at all (which, I guess, is the reason WHY it's asking for my address).I just want to make a one-time donation, like throwing a fiver in a hat, as I do with other organizations via PayPal.

       @IgorRock Thanks for wanting to support us! Our payment provider needs a billing address for identity verification, payment processing, and especially fraud prevention. You can read our Privacy Policy at https://donate.mozilla.org/faq/

       @thunderbird "for identity verification" - well, there's your problem.That's EXACTLY what I don't want - and don't need on any other page or organization I've used PayPal for in the past (like, just yesterday, actually).PayPal verifies my identity already (two factor login), so there is no need why you should need this, too.From a privacy POV, this is the worst you can do, and from a data economy and safety POV, it's even worse - adding another DB which can be breached or leaked.

       @IgorRock @thunderbird Hey Igor, I run Thunderbird's marketing and communications. Your comment about adding another database that can be breached or leaked resonates with me. And it's a very valid concern. I feel like we're all growing weary -- and angry -- over the constant breaches involving our personal information... What I can promise you is that we're having internal discussions about this, and evaluating whether or not this is a policy we should continue. Thanks for the feedback.
