Joseph CoxIn 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.

So it’s hidden until *checks notes* the email provider gets a visit from the FBI (it did not say they’d received a court order…) because someone was using their service to threaten the girlfriend of the FBI director.
If anyone thinks any American email provider (and I suspect a bunch of foreign ones!) would refuse that, especially given the current administration, they’re high.
