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

How many of the people who accepted that fine print do you think read it? Do you think its the individual's fault for not combing through every term? Or is it Apple's fault for misleading people and putting the clarification in a place they know nobody will pay attention?

I do think if you’re going to have assumptions about something that you should read the fine print, yes. Do I assume anyone does that? No.

Also, I don’t ever recall them suggesting that they won’t tell the cops who you are if they have a warrant. So I think people misled themselves.
