      If you connect to the internet from 2 or 3 different locations, the hashed email will be the same, so they just need to compare the locations to those from another service like Instagram and they know who you are and what you’re streaming.

          Companies want your money. The more they know about you, the more possibilities they have to get it. You don’t know what the political landscape may look like down the road. You may feel safe now, but that can change quickly. Imagine you suddenly need to pay back money to the copyright owners unless you can prove you already did?

              And just like that we’re at silly made up hypothetical situations to drive fear and an agenda. That’s not even worth entertaining.

              It’s all hypothetical until it isn’t anymore. You’re literally the slowly boiled frog.

              Lmao we already see people are being influenced by social media and targeted marketing, where do you think the source of that is? Do you think you’re immune? Think again. And it’s not just about selling you things, it’s about shaping how and what you think. And what’s the agenda I’m trying to drive in your eyes?

              You’re right that they for now don’t sell personal library streaming information, let’s see how long it stays that way.

        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.
