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.

Your point hinges on the assumption that anything you say or do can’t be retroactively criminalized
This is a great point. Plus we need to fight them for every inch of ground they try to take, no matter how inconsequential it may seem at the time (the pot isn't boiling yet, but it's getting hotter very quickly, it feels like)
"crime"
wait til signing on to Lemmy is a crime
That’s when we take to the streets!
The Apple marketing loop:
Apple cult:
Apple is the only company that cares about user privacy and security. They'll even guard your data from the feds.
Apple using dark patterns to hand over user data to feds again and again and again and again that 99% of users will fall for and always bends the knee to authoritarian countries.
Meh, they were using it wrong. They should have read the long ass fine print. That's not how you were supposed to do it dumbass.
One news in 10 years about how Apple refuses to hand over data. Probably done as marketing stunts in cooperation with the feds.
Look, Look, Look, Look, how secure company this is.
This is like the incognito mode thing all over again, huh?
