"You can always choose not use the street, no one forced you to sign up for an outside account"
Reminds me of a French king who wanted to be equal: I forbid rich and poor to sleep under the bridges.
It sounds fair but strangely it isn't. Nowadays, you can't avoid the Street. Nowadays in westen, the first thing an beggar needs to have a hope to have a house is a phone to access some free hot spots.
Having a new account is not enough. With browser fingerprinting and IP address you can recognise most of the people.
