    The Mac internet has been talking about this for a while, I'm glad 404 picked it up hopefully we can collectively now shame Apple.

    The Private Relay leak is the second issue to recently impact Apple’s paid-for privacy products. Last month 404 Media reported a bug in Apple’s Hide My Email feature was actually revealing peoples’ real email addresses. Apple knew about that issue for more than a year before fixing it.

    lol, what a joke

    and all those are on top of the covert peer-to-peer network that every apple device is a part of, constantly phoning home - including when your device is supposedly off. you can't disable it or opt out of it, and its security, full functionality, and breadth is unknown.
