    Idunno why you don’t think having an unique hash attatched to your data is no biggie. Especially if that hash is easily cracked in a few years by quantum computers.

      Nobody is gonna be using a quantum computer to “crack email hashes” of Plex users in a few years… I’m not even sure there is a speedup to hash cracking with quantum computers.

      But depending on the hashing algorithm used, it’s likely pretty easy to crack hashes of email addresses today with a normal computer. They’re not particularly high entropy.

        Just say you don’t care about privacy and having all your data out there for anyone to do anything they want with.

          “All your data” lol

          I care about my actual private data. My email that I hand out to dozens of sites isn’t that. What movies/tv shows of Plex’s - not my collection - isn’t that. It’s definitely not an issue when it’s opt-in like this is.
