Re: How is Apple supposed to prevent use of email addresses to identify people?

Hide My Email only works for a new app/website. If you already have say a Facebook account or Reg login, unless you start from scratch as a new user you can't use it.

I agree it is a nice thing, but most of us already have so many accounts using our real unhidden email address it is closing the barn door when the horse is already in the next county.
