A California Apple user has filed a proposed class action accusing the company of misleading customers about the privacy protections of its Hide My Email feature. The lawsuit alleges that Apple was aware for over a year of a flaw that could expose the real email addresses behind Hide My Email aliases but failed to fix it. The plaintiff, Anthony Alvarez, claims that Apple continues to profit from the feature while its promises of privacy remain unfulfilled. The lawsuit seeks to certify a class action covering four groups of users and demands that Apple either fix the flaw or clearly disclose its limitations.
