When entering fake information into captive portals from bar owners who actually comply with bs laws like these, please take care to use something like a `.invalid` tld so that some unsuspecting third party isn't suddenly subject to your emails. <your_handle>@gmail.invalid works basically everywhere.
I'm sorry, but if you have a valid email address of butts@butts.com, then you deserve the spam. Also, if you do actually own that address, thanks for hosting it so that bounce tests don't fail immediately!!
>[...] so that some unsuspecting third party isn't suddenly subject to your emails
why not something like byfmupajzmvdaxef@{gmail.com,outlook.com,yahoo.com}? I doubt that large email providers are going to be inconvenienced by the spam. Your solution is likely to get rejected by overzealous form validation (for good reason!).
Nah, it will pass many validators even with semicolons (like http://emailregex.com, which yours would fail btw). You are right though about better leaving spaces verbatim and adding the hyphens.
The standard is followed so infrequently that quoting it is basically an exercise in needless pedantic detail mongering. It's just not very relevant, probably because the rules to check valid email are so ridiculously complex (how long was that regex, 200+ characters?).
The email address standard is hilarious and should be made fun of at every opportunity.
The whole quoted-string commented multiline business (seriously, why?) is rightfully ignored by anyone who's ever made or used a mailserver, but it's still there.
Not an example from France, but I've experienced captive portals elsewhere that give temporary access for 10-30 minutes which gets extended when you click on a verification link they email you. I don't expect bar owners to develop such a system, but if too many people do fake info, the government might lean on the providers of the off-the-shelf solution to which the bar owners subscribe to add that functionality.
