Honestly, I have no problem with this. If I’m doing shady stuff, I’m not using iCloud’s hide my email function when it’s so easy to create a throw-away email account elsewhere. The point of hide my was hiding your real email from advertisers/spammers, not to help you do crime.

Man I hate people like you it should be sued for false advertising not im an apple fan boy and im way smarter than everyone else

Apple isn’t marketing Hide My Address that way, and if you think they are you deserve what’s coming you.

The article is written with bias, and does not explicitly say Apple turned over the name without being compelled by a warrant. If there was a warrant, this is a non-story; if there wasn’t, I’m not thrilled about it but there are bigger fish to fry.

So people who think “hide my email” hides their email are the real problem, got it
