In something you don't see everyday, Apple gave the FBI the real name and email address of one of its customers using Apple's 'Hide My Email' feature. This lets you generate random email addresses to protect your privacy https://www.404media.co/apple-gives-fbi-a-users-real-name-hidden-behind-hide-my-email-feature/

Apple Gives FBI a User’s Real Name Hidden Behind ’Hide My Email’ Feature

The move isn't surprising, but shows what data is available to authorities when paying Apple customers use the Hide My Email feature.

@josephcox I always found it strange that people trusted Apple so much just because of times in the past when they really wouldn't have benefited from giving up user info. It was just a matter of time until giving up info wouldn't hurt them and they would do it.

If anyone is actually counting on them to help against the regime, they need to seriously reconsider.
