Claude Code sends your email address to websites

github.com/anthropics via hnrss.org original hackernews

Bug Description

I receive dozens of scam emails per day because claude code divulged my email to arbitrary 3rd parties in the User-Agent request header while conducting web searches without my permission. This should not be a setting with opt-out or opt-in behavior, it needs to be removed from the harness entirely. It is not for the good of anyone involved: it does nothing for services which dislike agentic traffic, does not preserve my anonymity on the web, and is a goldmine for scammers. I am migrating my company to Pi with OpenRouter since I have no faith in anthropic preserving my privacy.
