We’ve been talking about making fake addresses and identities, but is this even allowed?

Websites like Yttgas specify that no illegal activities should be done with the generated data, including creating false mailing details to commit fraud.
Any tool can lead to a problem when misused. Utilizing them on public records could produce complications. If they are abused by taking part in wrongdoings such as hacking or swindling someone out of money, then there would likely be criminal charges accompanied with fines and prison time.
