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

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.

im way smarter than everyone else

Only a fourteen-year-old edgelord can think that hiding the email from spammers and hiding it from law enforcement are the same thing.
