When Apple users use this to commit fraud/trolling/stalking/etc. and get tracked down it's going to make Apple look bad.


Not really. It's still linked transparently behind the scenes to your Apple ID. The connection won't be visible to the developers but the fraud etc will already be taken care of when signing up for your Apple ID.


The reality is that it won't do much to protect users privacy or prevent tracking, although it will make it easier for users to avoid spam filling up their inboxes.
