It's so funny how email's architecture means that if you use one of those address-anonymization services, it necessitates that service now having access to your email. So Apple is all helpful "hey let's help you stay private & give you ability to revoke email address. All it will cost is your privacy!"

Serious question… Do you have an expectation of privacy when it comes to email?

I mean, per Apple specifically - they already had our emails (can’t download apps without an Apple ID etc). So it’s an added benefit without a corresponding loss of privacy.

I mostly use that feature for things that I don’t trust and thus won’t be putting sensitive data into… but this is a good callout still

I had never fully thought through that. This whole "personal cloud" marketecture that they're pushing does seem long term interesting for that kind of service, though, if the stack was standards based and auditable. Some of this was a long term goal of managed effects in the Everywhere Computer ecosystem.

i don’t trust any of these big companies. the big truth is they say they’ll keep our privacy safe with everyone… except themselves. it seems very strange to me these user privacy moves that are actually just a smokescreen. you block third-party cookies? then websites start using first-party cookies (just to give an example)
